I am engaged and I am wondering if it would be wrong of me to go into VS and purchase some wedding night/honeymoon lingere. Nothing dominatrex, but something sweet to make things special.

I can’t imagine how there could be anything wrong with that. My lovely wife owns several such items.

Nothing wrong with that, but I don’t approve of their ads.

Nothing wrong with lingerie. There might be something wrong with supporting V.S. J.C. Penny’s or other similar store do not have what you are looking for?

I don’t know exactly, I mean, all I know is that V.C sells that stuff, and it ranges in style and color 
. I could look around I guess. Thanks for the tip!

Well, the spending money there would be, as it promotes a sensual womenhood to the country through commercials, promotes women’s choice and abortion, and is above and beyond the simple sweet and special kind of clothing.

BryPGuy89,
Start another thread to discuss whether or not VS supports PP or even has an opinion on abortion as a corporation. Stay on topic, and if you do bring up a ridiculous allegation, then back it up with some facts. I did my own search on VS, PP, and abortion and found no fact in your statement. All you have to do is do a search on google before you spout off.

Wow, whether Bry’s post was based on fact or not, your’s was a little less than charitable. I know this post is off topic as well, but let’s not be rude about such things, shall we. God bless.

Being as we have a Victoria Secret call center here and I know a lot of people who work there I think the only objection is to the way they promote their products.
I have not seen anything close to “dominatrix” in there catalogs or store so, go for it honey.
We ended up at Fredericks to get a corset for my daughter to wear under her bridesmaid dress for a Catholic wedding last summer.
BTW, VS carries a nice variety of undergarments for women that fits nice and looks nice.

I see absolutely no problem at all with shopping at VS, that’s the only place I shop for “under things”. Going to JC Penney wouldn’t even compare. Like Brenda V. said, VS has beautiful things that fit nice and look nice, I’m sure you want the best for your wedding night!

It is a fact that Intimate Brands - makers of Victoria’s Secret - do promote abortion and homosexuality. Try another search on Google. I had no problem finding the connection.
For the OP - I was SOOO tempted to buy some lingerie at VS for my honeymoon, but I was equally turned off by all the garbage they sell. I ended up finding some adorable things at JCPenney and Sears. Good luck!

As for the subject of lingerie itself, I don’t see anything wrong with a wife wanting to make herself more appealing to her husband, especially for their honeymoon. I’d also say this is probably an area alot of husbands would do well with paying more attention to as well (esp. with regard to grooming.)
As for the issue of “Victoria’s Secret” itself, I don’t have any information about their involvement in supporting abortion. What I can say though, is that their marketing methods are less than savory.

Another nice thing about VS is that they know how to measure and size you. They also know their merchandise and can help you find exactly what you need quickly. I went to VS when in college with a friend who didn’t know what size she wore. I waited with her while she was sized and helped her pick out things for wearing everyday with t-shirts that actually fit and were comfortable. It was a major confidence booster.
And about my earlier post, I didn’t mean for it to be uncharitable, but to the point and brief. I do get a little ticked when I see libel, so that must have come through in my statement. I still haven’t found anything in my google search. But seriously, if there is something there, then someone really should start a new thread and post the link to the article. Again, not trying to be uncharitable, just making a suggestion!

No, it is not a fact.
Since you had no problem finding connections, provide the links to prove me wrong.
And, come on, does anyone really believe that people buying lingerie have strictly “savory” intentions. If you want to stay “savory” buy cotton nightgowns and wear sweatsocks to bed.

There is nothing unsavory about a bride wanting to look attractive for her husband or wanting to feel attractive herself.

See who they give their money to - a very large portion went to the Gay & Lesbian Alliance.
I also found their name on pro-life boycott lists.
Come on - do you really think they DON’T promote those things? It’s quite the trashy company.
And I agree with the other poster - you can find tasteful lingerie. A woman can definitely make herself attractive for her husband without looking like a tramp.

two gifts to gay & lesbian alliances…i wonder what donations to certain organizations were NOT listed.
Some quotes from their site:
“No Harassment
We will not tolerate harassment related to any individual’s race, color, religion, gender, national origin, citizenship, age, disability, sexual orientation or marital status…The term “harassment” may include…unwelcome sexual advances, and other verbal, graphic or physical conduct of a sexual nature such as obscene or lewd jokes, comments or displays or any inappropriate body contact.” (one wonders how victoria’s secret - stores and displays - isn’t considered unwanted sexual harassment by their own standards.
“Who do you support?
Limited Brands…focus on empowering women…” (i wouldn’t think exploitation would be considered empowering to the average woman!)

You obviously don’t shop at VS, most of their items are extremely tasteful and their quality is impeccable. Buy something at JC Penney and not only will it look like it came from JC Penney but it will also be unwearable in just a few months because of poor quality.
