Victoria's *Real* Secret
This is for the ladies who shop at a popular lingerie shop named after a woman whose name begins with the letter "V".
Is it just me, or does your bra size appear much larger when you try on this brand's undergarments?
Is THAT the real secret behind this store? Women love the clothing because it is sized smaller to make a woman feel her breasts are bigger?
The first time I ever stepped foot into this particular store was about two months ago, and I went in for a fitting because I wanted to know what size I am supposed to be wearing after bearing two children, gaining and losing weight a few times, and feeling the effects of gravity for four and a half decades. The very nice attendant measured me, came up with a size very close to what I'd been wearing, and brought a handful of bras for me to try on. Each one was too small. She brought the next cup size up. Still too small. She had to bring me a bra TWO CUPS LARGER than I normally wear.
So, here's what I think the real secret is: Their bras are sized so you feel flattered your boobs are bigger than you thought. And since other brands (in the size Ms. "V" tells you that you wear) won't fit right, you feel compelled to only shop in her store.
Your thoughts/experiences?
