:: Victoria's Secret - my purchases ::

I'm never going to order from Victoria's Secret again. Okay, this is a super expired post, but here goes.

I ordered a few pieces of clothes and lingerie from VS last Sep, what I received was far from what was expected. This is just one of the examples:



The bra looked so granny and in such terrible quality! Wearable, didn't break, but materials used look real cheap. The Made in China tags confirmed it. Okay, most things in US are made in China. But this quality is worse than anything I've ever seen!

Thought I found gold when I qualified for the free Gorgeous tshirt, but the material is very thin and lousy.

Then there was a swim suit that didn't have stock for black colour so I chose "sexy little pink". Turns out like some fluorescent light I am too embarrassed to ever wear it.

The bra-top camisole didn't come with padding. It probably didn't mention anything about padding, but my first time buying a "bra-top" from Uniqlo did so I assumed its a bra within a top.

There were 2 simple t-shirt bras that also went wrong. The cutting is such that the middle portion folds tightly INTO the skin. It doesn't just rest on the skin. -_-"

There were only 2 items I don't have complaints about out of 11. Don't know why my friends were raving about VS sale. I mean I've heard abt it so this time I was curious so I ordered some for myself.

** Post update on 31 May: Oh ya I forgot to mention about the box it came in!!! I was expecting a luxurious packaging at least like La Senza, they'd wrap up each item with thin paper, and the box would have VS in gold hot-stamped on... but no, it was a cardboard box that looked like it was left beside a drain for some time and soaked up some drain water! What's worse, there was a lot of space inside the box - I felt cheated of my shipping fees when they could have packed it more compactly!
