I'm not sure if this is a sign or something, but I noticed while shopping the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual Sale the other day that

the store had next to *nothing* in a size larger than a Small. They had so many XS and S, hardly any M and L.

That could just be that they order too many smaller sizes, but it seemed to be the case in every style.

- Others might know better than me, but maybe they're being deliberately restrictive with their brand. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:23 3
  - Yeah, many women's clothing stores do that. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:25 1
    - This is sadly true. -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 06:28
  - if they are, they're idiots. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:23
in 2006, the size percentage breakdown for VS for XS S M L was 10 30 40 20. - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:10 5
- that's bullshit. their L for bras is 36C. I ask you. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:16 4
  - bras have a *way* more complex breakdown because of ABCD etc. I wouldn't even attempt that one. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:18 3
    - In my size, in the stores, all they ever stock are ugly ass colors. I fucking hate vicky's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:21 2
      - again, better to avoid them for quality reasons than for size availability reasons. but whatever. -- nm - 2009 loves mandy lane Jan 5, 06:22 1
        
        oh, I'm not even opening that box. I fucking hate vicky's. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:23
That's pretty standard for them. You have to order online if you are actually a normal size person. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:07 18
- I actually went to the store because I tried ordering online, and it was the same deal there! - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:09 17
  - I would have to have bones surgically removed to get into their size S. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:17
  - yeah, they're out of everything right now (it seems). -- nm - Callisto Jan 5, 06:12 2
    - I wound up with 2 pairs of really nice pajamas so I was happy. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:14 1
      - I ended up ordering PJs from Macy's. Everything at VIcky's is pink. Pink is cute and all but not so much on me. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:18
  - Similarly, they don't sell "tall" sizes in store, which is rather ironic since their models are all so tall. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:12 12
    - OTOH, who needs a Tall in a bra? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:18 6
      - They only sell bras? News to me. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:21 5
        
        I thought their clothing was catalogue only? -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:22 4
        
        I'm not sure what you mean. -- nm - Don Homer Jan 5, 06:25 3
        
        pants and dresses and whatnot. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:26 2
        
        They sell pajamas/casual workout kind of clothes (the Pink brand) etc. in the stores. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:31 1
        
        oh, duh. sorry Don. -- nm - loosilu Jan 5, 06:31
    - I kiss stores that sell tall sizes in things other than suits. -- nm - Reagen Jan 5, 06:13 4
      - Do you have much luck finding what you need? - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:17 3
        
        wellt hey do, but you have to be a shopping ninja to get them - Reagen Jan 5, 06:19
        
        To be fair, not much goes well with Shrek look-a-likes. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 5, 06:18 1
        
        Not true. - lame-o kelly Jan 5, 06:20
