Roll call! Let's get back to what we do!

Are any of you ladies upset at UD for going to the China market? It seems like a lot of people are boycotting UD claiming that they are no longer vegan even though they still don't test on animals. It's just the thought that the government in China may do that to their products.

I'm not upset. I still support UD!
i'll still buy if the prices are good Big Grin

I have a pronounced waist, so that isn't a problem for me. My chest area is the problem. Do you think there's a chance the 4 would fit in that area? I'm so gun shy from trying on VS dresses that I'm afraid to take chances anymore.
...
what size are you again? 34dd? there's a chance the 4 may fit (my waist is 27" i think), but i'd worry that your girls might spill out the top. since the fabric isn't stretchy it may not accommodate large boobs as well as the stretchy versions of that dress. for me (32c/34b) i find that the dress is most snug on my waist. up top, i can wear a more padded bra and it'd still fit. i'd guess it'd fit up to 2 sizes larger than me up top (1 size would fit well, 2 might be a squeeze). so i'm not sure if it'd work for you there. alvs tried it and said the bottom was loose - i think that means the top fit her boobs. maybe she can chime in.

awwww Comfort online? or in store only? i always find 32's to be lacking - i'm sure it's even harder to find 32dd!

i have a trick to find old reviews. i think what happens is express doesn't show reviews made before the item goes on clearance because they add "c" on the item number. copy the item number without the c, then search on google site:express.com xxxxxx (xxxx = item number).

i have the 6 coming to me. i'm a 34 b and the chest fits just right in the 4. the 4 fits me (with dh's help zipping up laugh out loud) but it feels constricting on the waist. it actually gave me a more defined waist, but i feel like there won't be room even just for appetizer Teehee my worry about the 6 is it will be a little too big.
oOoo good to know if i ever have to find them!

i think the 6 will likely be too big on you, def on the bottom.

its good to stock up if you find ones that you like and fit well Smilie its harder and harder to find good bras in store. people are ravenous. i couldnt find any supersoft hiphuggers either. love those. its easier to buy less when you are very specific about what you can/want to wear.
The BBV Supersoft HH is my favorite panty. So comfy. I purchased all my clearance ones online. Whenever I need to double-dip in-store and there is nothing else to buy, I purchase more of them.

They need to make more green bras! Yep, the one I didn't buy and let go was a beautiful emerald one! It came out during the fall. It was sooo pretty! UGH!!! They need to make more of these colors instead of all those hot neons. :mad :
I agree! I don't really like the neon colors. I only bought the lime green, because it was the only green option. The bright orange shorts I for a change of pace still haven't been worn. shake head

Thanks for the review trick.

You're right about my bra size. nod I don't think I'm going to order the 4. My waist is 26, but I don't want to try on any more dresses that cause boob spillover. It's so discouraging. Frown If kurpee can't wear the 6, maybe I can call them up & tell them I have a friend that returned a 6 & I want it. laugh out loud

Hey girls -

I know a few of you have returned items without the bags. I have a couple of bras I bought and tried on but threw away the bags for. Can I put them in a ziploc with the # written on it?

I tore the label off another VS bag & taped a tag with the applicable info to it for one of my items. I'm sure a ziplock would be just as good. The item info is probably more important than the bag.

maybe we can work something out. if it doesn't work out on me, i can take a pic of me in it for you and just imagine your body in it (add some boobies and subtract some waist). if you think it will work for you, i can ship it maybe? if you need to return it, i don't know what we'll do laugh out loud i'm not sure if they'll return it to my cc if you can't present it when you return.

I never return the bags or do the ziplock thing.

I could do that, too. Thanks! I figure if they have the info it makes it easier on them.

So you just toss it in the box? Lol. Some of mine haven't had the tags on them, so I try to make sure to write the info on the bag. I feel bad returning a bra I wore for a day - but man, it stretched out a lot! so much the cups gap at the top a little. This run of DA seems to run reallllly big in the cup. I am a DDD in the VS but a D in DA...the DD is gapping already. Weird.

I have always just put it in the box. I don't separate the orders or anything.

i used to do this too. like if i had the bag i'd send it of course, but if not i'd just put it in a plain bag and throw it in. they can look up the item from the tag anyway.

now since i do more ordering and returning i'll separate by order, staple to bag, etc. i figure it makes it easier for them.

That makes me feel better! Ha - thank you! I worry about it not being labeled clearly enough. Looks like it should be fine.

How did all of your orders turn out? Did things fit the new girls well?

Some fit, some don't. Swimsuits are random. I'm either a m or l up top. The new bewbs are harder to find stuff for but they're worth the trouble!
