i finally got this dress [victoriassecret.com] in my actual size (4 - i first ordered a 2 and it was way teeny) in yellow and teal. thoughts:
-i like both of the colors a lot. very vibrant and suits that dress!
-the yellow skirt is lined while the teal is not. i guess the yellow is see-thru without the lining.
-it still hits about an inch above my natural waist, so i believe it is built for petite ladies. but it is a very cute dress! i'm still deciding if i can make it work on me.
-the gorgeous demi did not work with it. i tried the cross-low-back way, and it almost worked, but a bit of the back showed as i suspected.

my knockout comes tomorrow - can't wait! the wire of it reminds me of a line of bras they had back in 99-2000. i think it was a cotton bra with that underwire. i had an unlined one that was amazing. actually i may still have it bc i couldn't bear to throw it away. i really hope they're bringing that "wire" back, not just in the knockout push-up, but in other styles too!

I think it starts before the end of the month online. I could be wrong.

The bbv bra didn't work with the new boobs. Maybe once they calm down a bit it will feel better. Bras are hard right now because they are perky and just want to be free laugh out loud.
let em loose! laugh out loud

does anyone think the towel GWp will work on clearance or a full price/clearance combo? I am trying to plan my purchase out in advance, also hoping to combine the $10 off a bra/free v string/free ship codes they sent out with the towel gwp on Thursday

Bra Top Cross-front Lightly Padded Top [victoriassecret.com] - Beach Teal, White - This top is adorable. I love the detailing.
I've been eyeing these. Does the padding give a good amount of lift? If you wanted to use a regular bra could you with this top?

Quote from IceyNiki :
[Very Sexy Knockout Push-up Bra [victoriassecret.com] - Blue Lagoon - Oh yeah baby! I like this one. I could not stop staring at myself in the mirror. The combination of a push-up and balconet works for me. I did not have it on long, but it was comfortable. Not sure what else to say about it. Ask me if you have any questions. I recommend...but not at retail price, of course. Anyone still have their PINK Bra Perks Free Q???
Another on my list. I think I'm going to go for it this month. I am anxious to see how the balconet works for me since the demi's do not. No

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
Azn would probably know better. She's the bebe queen! The lining and the ruffle looked a little funny. The girl at bebe said that she'd heard others say that about the ruffle.
It's a shame it is such a cute dress.

Quote from azn1x6flame :
About Bebe's promos, they have better. I don't really care about 2nd day shipping since I get FS anyway.

They usually have $25 off $150 or $50 off $250 at the start of each season. They just had one end at May, so I think the next one would be for Fall.
Thank you Bebe Queen. I'll wait. Teehee

Quote from ALVSGIRLY :
vs is sending out pin codes for $10 off a bra and a free very sexy v-string.
Good thing I have two accounts, they didn't send it to me on the account I use most only the account I made when I couldn't get into my first one. I think I only ever bought one thing under that email address too. Smilie

You really take your totes seriously. I just find a bag to throw my stuff in and head out. God knows I have enough of them laugh out loud
I do not usually use the VS GWP bags. However, some have come in handy. The Red & Pink Stripe travel cosmetic bag has to be my favorite. I use it all the time. One of the large Red & Pink Stripe bags I use as my personal item when I fly. Most of the totes sit in storage. About two years, I realized a purse was too small to carry to work everyday, and I did not want to carry a purse and a tote. So I began using the VS totes for work. I always kept a tiny purse inside when I wanted to go shopping or eat on my lunch break or after work. It works really well for me. The everyday use wears them out, so I do not use the ones I really love. I rotate them every few months to prolong their life. I really had no idea what I was use the current tote for. It is not sturdy enough to use as a work tote. I am not really into crossbody bags, but since it was free might as well use it for shopping!

I tried the top on with a push-up bra, so I cannot comment on wearing it without one. (I do not wear any VS Bra Tops without an actual bra.) From what I can recall, I do not think it will be a problem keeping your bra straps hidden as long as your bra fits well. I am sure if I could not make it work with my bra I would not have recommended it. That is always a deal breaker for me...unless your bra is supposed to show (such as with an illusion top).

I think several of us will like the Knockout Bra. It is comfortable and stylish. I wanted to stop by my B&M and pick up a free Knockout Bra and free matching panty, but I was/am too tired. There is always tomorrow.

I have it in the Md and it fits me perfectly!
Thanks, I'm going to order it today. bounce I just need to find something else to add to get FS. There's another cute tankini I'd like to try, but it's OOS online.

Quote from IceyNiki :
I have it on BO in both those colors. Coral Kiss is one of my favorite colors of the season.

I ordered from Venus yesterday. nuSO told me about a cute dress he saw on a catalogue he was delivering. Operation No Shopping needs to come into effect soon. #addict
Coral Kiss is my favorite color for the season too. Like you, I don't know if I need more than one top in the same color though. laugh out loud

Please let me know what you think about the dress from Venus. I get their catalogs, but I've never ordered. Since I've never seen any of you mention ordering from there, I thought the quality may not be good. They do have some really cute clothes. Now, I wish I hadn't thrown away the catalog I got Saturday.

PS: I lost the link for your reviews. Thanks for taking the time to post them. I'm thinking about ordering the first top now. Do you think it would look good with a bra, if I take the bra top inserts out? ETA: N/M, I saw your reply to Tizzy.

Thanks for the heads-up on both deals.

Quote from longislandgirl :
I have bbv wireless. It is good too. I think I bought it after GH recommend it : )

on second thought for knockout- should i wait till SAS ? when does it start online. I will be gone:happy : by the end of this month :whee :
I'm glad you like the BBV wireless. I really like it, but they don't make it in my size now. My favorite VS bra was the old Angels wireless, but it was discontinued too.Annoyed I'm going to try the knockout bra hoping I like it. To me, wireless bras are so much more comfortable than bras with underwires. They're also easier to wash. If there was enough variety in my size, I would only buy wireless.

shipbras working with a lot of clearance...even the 9.99$ yoga bralettes..

Thanks for the review. I really want to try that, but the bra issue keeps me from ordering it.

I would do the same too Smilie
I have grown up wearing only wireless bra. Underwire bra does not suit hot weather of India on my last trip I took all the good VS bras (all underwire ones) and I had to buy new soft cotton bras from there Facepalm and my sister goes - you have enough bra to start your own shop laugh out loud
