    Has anyone ever bought stuff from Frederick's? How's the quality, compared to, say, VS? The prices are a lot better.

    I might actually buy the #14 underwear, and possibly one of the silver bustiers. #fredericksofhollywood

    @Hana Maru: I have bought their more casual bras on--the ones that aren't covered in tassels and jewels and cutouts like the Extreme Cleavage line. The bras I bought fit really well, gave amazing support, made my boobs look really good and lasted so long that I went up a cup size and can't really wear them. Occasionally I will still wear them for certain tops and they still support really well.
    I've also bought some dresses and tops that were good quality. Cheap material, but they've lasted and fit very nicely and don't look cheap.
    Most of their underwear options seem extremely synthetic though.

    Oh, but their reversible bras suck! I got tricked by one last week. They support nicely but are very ugly, matronly and shapeless. Just a heads up, because they're cheap and tempting on the website.

    @Hana Maru: I only buy from Frederick's because I've got an odd bust size that VS doesn't provide. I can say the bra quality is WAY better than VS; the elastic lasts longer and the actual support is amazing. They've got some cheesy lingerie but if you look through they offer stuff that won't make you laugh too that is also really good quality. One thing I've never bought is the underwear but the stuff that comes with the lingerie is usually pretty uncomfortable and not cotton, in fact I wouldn't call it underwear at all. You'll probably end up really liking the bustier but really look at the fabric the underwear is made of before buying it.

    Jangly-bits aside, Fredricks' design seems to have moved away from the uber-tacky, at least. Of course, maybe that's just a sign of competition for work edging-out lesser designers... #fredericksofhollywood

    Do women ever wear this stuff after the first month or two of a relationship? Outside of special occasions I've never seen it. My wife has some beautiful stuff that I haven't seen her wear since the days when she had to pack an overnight bag to stay with me. #fredericksofhollywood

    @BeckyIva: I don't even think about it unless I'm going through the closet looking for something and see the stuff hanging there. I was just wondering because it seems like a pattern that I have never seen broken. @merely_a_muse: I can see that. If you feel sexy, then you are sexy. #fredericksofhollywood

    @token_illiterate_commenter: I do. Admittedly not as often as before the overnight bag days, but it's something I like. I've been with my husband for 8 years now.

    If you want your wife to wear more sexy stuff, you might go shopping with her and suggest something you'd be excited to see on her. That's better than asking her to wear her old lingerie, more fun for her and it sidesteps the potential awkwardness if the old stuff doesn't fit. Also, try to make romantic initiatives of your own, if you aren't already. #fredericksofhollywood

    @token_illiterate_commenter: I think all of us have probably experienced the major major letdown which is spending time and money to pick out lingerie only to have you look at it, nod, and say, "Hot!" and then take it right off. It feels so, so pointless. I'm not saying spend hours examining the embroidery, but if you do request some, spend a little time admiring it and don't take it off so quickly. #fredericksofhollywood

    @token_illiterate_commenter:

    i like to buy new lingerie a few times a year, just to surprise my guy. i think it's easy to fall into always tossing on the sweat pants and a teeshirt because it's comfortable, so i make it a point to not do this constantly.

    i'll just glide out modeling the new lingerie while he's sitting on the couch watching tv, and snuggle in next to him. that way it doesn't have to be "let's have sex this minute!" it might turn out to be the case, or we might just snuggle for the rest of the night.

    like your wife, i have lots of pretty things my guy bought me during our relationship, and it's fun to rotate them in with new lingerie. maybe you could mention to her you were thinking about some of those beautiful things she used to wear, and that you wouldn't mind seeing her in them again!

    me and my guy have been together for 10 years. #fredericksofhollywood

    Some of their things are actually pretty cute. Over the top, sure, and as shown above, they can get downright ridiculous. But I think that's the point, kinda. Like I can see a lady buying some of the more silly stuff because it makes her blush and laugh at the same time. #fredericksofhollywood
