Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I swear I get about three V.S catalogs in the mail box every damn week, haha.
They had the hottest looking red dress for 69.00. It looked so sophistacated
and well made in the catalog. Like a nice fancy dress. I ordered it
and when it got here it looks like the cheapest 15.00 store dress.What the hell?
I also ordered this nice looking top for 25.00 which looked super cheaply made.
GEEZE.
I am starting to think they suck. Several things I have ordered from them
look SO DAMN NICE IN THE CATALOG but once you get it on your doorstep
its the cheapest crap.
I don't have problems with the bras or underwear however,just the clothes.>:(

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I have never really heard good things about their clothes. Everyone seems to be disappointed when they arrive for the most part.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
This is why I'm always hesitant about ordering clothes off the internet or catalogues. You never know what you're going to get. Although thank goodness I've been very lucky when it comes to ordering stripper clothes and shoes!

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
Yeah I've always found their stuff to be overpriced and badly made. I have ONE gorgeous silk and lace nightgown and robe set from them that was actually well made. But it was about $350 so it damn well better have been!(lucky a custie paid for it not me...hell if I'd pay that much for a nightgown!)

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
you know what? I couldn't agree more. I wish they would stop sending me the catalogs because I always see something that I just FEEN over and am then sorely disappointed when it arrives! I even still have a sweater in the freakin plastic bag (from a year ago!) because it was NOTHING like in the catalog! >:( A couple of weeks ago there was this suit that I really, really wanted. Whirlz even went so far as to find the item numbers for me since I had thrown my catalog away...but I restrained myself.
Not only do the clothes suck, their shipping is lame too. On the expensive side (imo) and unless you upgrade the shipping it takes forever for the items to arrive. Then if the item sucks (which it probably will) you have to pay to send it back. That's bullshit considering how many sites now offer free or reduced price shipping. At least if you order from a department store website you can typically return the item in the store but not VS! Nope! lame lame lame.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
^^I know, I love how Zappos does free returns. They make it so easy for you to shop from them. I always wish VS sold their clothes in their stores, but I guess this is why they don't.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
Yea! They totally hook you and once you get it,it sucks so bad you have to return it and get charged 6.00 bucks or whatever to do so.
I don't even think the dress I ordered is what the model is wearing. Her dress looks
Saks Fifth Avenue, this thing looks like 15.00 cheap-o from the hoochie mama store.
Rip off!!!
I need a better catalog to order from, V.S SUCKS ASS.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I stopped buying VS clothes years ago. It was always dissapointing that the pics in the catalog looked so good, and then they send you that cheaply made crap brand Moda International.
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
thank god i never got anything from them then. cause thier shit is def. over priced too.
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
A friend of mine ordered a skirt from them. It was super thin and just shitty all together. Ever since then I knew I was never going to order their crap other than the lingerie.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I used to order from catalogs all the time and the VS catalogue is way disappointing. The jeans in particular are just awful - I ordered multiple pairs and could never get the zippers to stay up! I had to safety-pin the top of the zipper to the inside of the button flap to keep it up, or I'd be walking around with an open fly all day.
Looks cute in the catalog, but it's shit. Now I don't order anything I haven't tried on first!

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
One of my friends sisters used to order from this French catalog company and loved them.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I used to order VS clothes all the time as I had no time to go out and shop myself.
I quickly learned that their clothes for the most part, NEVER look like they do in the catalogues. It took a few orders;) to get it through my skull but I did learn!

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
yeah have to agree their jeans do suck.... actually some of their shoes are hot.. i bought a pair of hot ass shoes recently... colin stuart....
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
They trick you. They make you think they have SUCH GOOD lingerie that their clothes are fabulous too.
Althoguh, to be honest, after getting my Lacroix bras, I've been a little bit thinking VS isn't worth the shit they charge in lingerie, either. All hype, no product.
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
yeah that's the thing..their shoes ARE hot. Come to think of it, I've actually never been dissapointed with their shoes, and I've ordered lots from VS.

Oh my goodness, I love the corduroy blazer on the home page. Thanks for this link!
Yeah, Zappos is the online store that does it right.
I like the bra tanks and bra tops from VS, but their sweaters and other clothes are of the worst quality. That's why they need such top models to pull it all off. Those girls make everything look fantastic, as well as the photographers.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I've noticed that for the most part, the clothes I receive do not look the same as the ones in the catalogue. They probably pin the clothes on the models to make the outfits look better. A lot of the times I'll order something that just doesn't fit right...it'll be too frumpy, or too big, or the arms are too long...
I have received cute terry shorts from them. And I do love their PINK line. But I find I'd rather go to their stores to try on their PINK stuff than take my chances ordering from the catalogue. I save on shipping, plus it's fun to go to the mall.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I agree the quality isn't very good. I ordered some of their tee shirts and they started to pill over only a couple washings. I have a black fuzzy sweater of theirs I like though.
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I don't even like VS lingerie, I just use it for work because guys think anything from VS is sexy, no matter how ugly it really is... all psychological I guess. Saks has very interesting stuff...

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I wish that this thread had come out a month ago...I just received my order yesterday (have beem waitning since the end of July)and out of 6 items, 4 are going back (all clothes) I am keeping the bras and painties.
I know it is expensive to ship back, but it I kept these ill fitting, cheaply made articles of clothing, I would be out about $200.00. So at this point I feel I save more shipping them back than keeping them.
No matter how cute they look in the catalog, they made me look like I was wearing a tent, I will NEVER order clothes from them again and am starting to think that their bras and panties are not really worth it either.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
Blek...i ordered a cute outfit from them a year ago. It was a simple tank and booty shorts. I got it and the top is short and wide, and shorts are long and bunched. It was the ast thing I ordered from them. I luv the bras and panties but very dissapointed in the clothing. They must alter pieces for the models to pose with.
-
Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
I had a bad experince with then a few years ago never orderd from them scince. I orderd a simple jewl toned tank top set and they tanks were worse then anything they sell at wal mart they were embarsing and they were moda internaial or whatever.

Re: Victoria's Secret Catalog Clothes=disappointing
i received my order of vs clothing recently and so far i'm satisfied. i will give it a few weeks and see if i say the same thing. however, i will be returning the patent boots because the zipper on one of them is stuck.
