Garments being shown

So, someone explain to me what's so tacky about Vicky's Secret? Their cotton hiphuggers are the best panties I've found. Cute and comfy. Where do you or your wives buy bras and panties?

Great news! You don't need a current to buy them- just your name and birthday. They look in the system to see if you're endowed-- not if you've been naughty or nice.

I wouldn't trust underwear-buying info from a guy named Commando.

Please try not to date yourself by calling them panties. We prefer "butted underwear" on this site. Thanks.

What makes you think some dude designed your garments? I think its much more likely that some 70 year old woman did. No way a dude thinks about putting lace on garments.

My comment was mostly regarding the men who approve the underwear I wear.

There is no way that a woman in her thirties is given license to design a garment top that actually works with normal shirts. Thankfully the introduction of the new tops is a step in the right direction, but quite frankly, the fact that I have to pull and tug at shirts that are perfectly modest all the time to keep those little bits of white showing is proof of how poorly executed the women's garment top is. I'm praying that one day we will have a tank top that cuts low under the arm and wide through the neck. It makes so much more design sense.

I buy my bras and panties at http://shop.nordstrom.com/. The Hanky Panky thong is great, and their bikinis and hiphuggers are so comfortable.

Victoria's Secret bras are TERRIBLE. They had me in the wrong bra size for ages, and they're really uncomfortable. I found Natori, Josie, and Chantelle, and I will never go back.

Ill-fitting is not the same as tacky. I'm too poor to shop at Nordstrom.

In my wife's words, "everything in there looks like it was made for a 15 year old." All tacky rhinestones and bad animal prints and what not. It pretty much blends into the aesthetic of other bad mall stores.

Anyway, yeah.

Maybe, but when the alternative is garments...

Fair point. The tacky factor comes from how much bling there is in that place.

And shop the sales! You'll pay less for a better bra!

that's because it was made with 15 year olds (both female and male) as the target market.

And might be made by a lot of 15 year olds...

D.K. Garments is a subcontract factory with 150 foreign guest workers (135 from Bangladesh and 15 from Sri Lanka), which has been producing Victoria's Secret garments for the last year. None of the workers have been provided their necessary residency permits, without which they cannot venture outside the industrial park without fear of being stopped by the police and perhaps imprisoned for lack of proper documents.

The Victoria's Secret workers toil 14 to 15 hours a day, from 7:00 a.m. to 9:00 or 10:00 p.m., seven days a week, receiving on average one day off every three or four months. All overtime is mandatory, and workers are routinely at the factory 98 to 105 hours a week while toiling 89 to 96 hours. Treatment is very rough, as managers and supervisors scream at the foreign guest workers to move faster to complete their high production goals.

Workers who fall behind on their production goals, or who make even a minor error, can be slapped and beaten. Despite being forced to work five or more overtime hours a day, the workers are routinely shortchanged on their legal overtime pay, being cheated of up to $18.48 each week in wages due them. While this might not seem like a great deal of money, to these poor workers it is the equivalent of losing three regular days' wages each week.

Workers are allowed just 3.3 minutes to sew each $14 Victoria's Secret women's bikini, for which they are paid four cents. The workers' wages amount to less than 3/10ths of one percent of the $14 retail price of the Victoria's Secret bikini [...]

I often wonder where/how garments are made. My grandmother always made her own but that has since been "outlawed".

To answer my own question...

Meeting the demands of the rapidly increasing numbers of temple-attenders worldwide, a new Beehive Clothing facility in Salt Lake City was dedicated Jan. 26, becoming the manufacturing center of the Church for garments and temple clothing.

[...]

The new 300,000 square-foot-building, located at 3880 W. 1820 South, consolidates both the old Beehive Clothing plant in Salt Lake City (in use for 42 years) and the nearby plant in West Valley City, Utah. Nearly 500 people are employed at the new facility, 385 of whom are involved in the sewing and knitting steps of the manufacturing. Some 25,000 units of clothing are produced daily.

Back from the Wasatch Back Ragnar Relay I am pleased to report on one confirmed sighting of a woman running wearing her garments. There were a number of men who might have been, but I can't be certain. But the woman was definitely wearing garments, as her t-shirt was just loose enough around the arms to grant a glimpse inside. And the cut-off sweats in the 88 degree heat drew the initial attention.

So 1/5000 or so isn't a bad ratio of crazy out on the run. Of course, most probably the type who wears their garments to exercise would probably shun the innuendo filled environment of Ragnar to begin with.
