Women or cross-dressing men... a question.

[redqueen]

What's your favorite kind of lingerie?

[elleng]

1. Brand,

or article?

Hanes (lasts.)

[redqueen]

3. Article.

I think my favorite is a nightie. Or a corset and stockings.

But brand recommendations are most definitely welcome too!

[mcctatas]

2. for the basics I like Victoria's Secret...

for the fun stuff I like Betsey Johnson ;)

[redqueen]

4. I can't even go in VS.

It's just a waste of time cause they hardly carry anything in my size.

Hm... I need to check out this Betsey Johnson...

[mcctatas]

12. Macy's

[redqueen]

13. Ooooh I like ...

and I have a Macy's gift card! :D

[skygazer]

5. I love pretty underwear

I wear a boring and utilitarian uniform at work but I wear pretty undies and nice body lotions. I also like silky, sexy nightgowns but they don't tend to stay on very long. :blush:

[redqueen]

10. I've been wearing boring and utilitarian for years.

I decided my Christmas present to myself will be something nice. :)

But I can't decide what. x(

6. Old school, vintage or identical to same, like the forties.

with real working garter snaps, for example...

Very Bettie Page.

One place I came across during a road trip had a fantastic selection of all kinds of vintage clothes, including lingerie, called Aubergine in Sebastopol, Cal.

11. Are 'real working garter snaps'

actual snaps? The only ones I ever had were those ... I don't know ... button and eye things?

[mcctatas]

14. I think they used to be snaps...

which would be a hell of a lot easier than those frigging button eye thingys! :crazy:

[NYC_SKP]

23. I don't know what they are called, not snaps, but like buttons and loops...

Hang on....did a search, maybe they are called "clasps".

The little hookie thingies at the end of the straps?

[redqueen]

24. Bah, yeah...

those things aren't fun. I've only ever had stuff with that kind of attacher deal on there. They're a real PITA.

[NYC_SKP]

25. Back in the day, before pantyhose and thigh highs,

If you were gonna wear stocking, you were gonna use garters.

I personally can't believe what society has had women put themselves through to just get dressed, or men and neckties for that matter.

But there is something a little titillating about the complexity of the gear, but I don't care for the cheap new stuff, it's gaudy, especially the bright colored crap.

[Symarip]

7. I just gonna sit back on this thread...

And let the good times roll.

[mcctatas]

8. No preferences then?

:P

[Symarip]

9. All of the above.

Oh.

And this thread is useless without pics.

[flvegan]

15. Will we get to see you donned in the fruits of our advice?

Not that I have any, but I REALLY like that kind of fruit.

[redqueen]

19. Hahahahahaha

No... but there are tons of VS catalogs that would give you a much better view of the stuff. :P

[Shakespeare]

16. Pretty underwear of all kinds, but I love teddies and bustiers.

And you can't beat a nice pair of stretch lace boy shorts, either. :thumbsup:

[Symarip]

17. Yes...

You really can't, can you? :)

[redqueen]

20. Yes...

I had a pair of purple stretch lace boy shorts... but I don't have them anymore.

[Symarip]

22. You should find those.

You really should.

[Connonym]

18. anything that fits properly

And seriously, when you're a D cup or over it's hell finding a good comfortable fit.

[redqueen]

21. Tell me about it.

I have bras in several different sizes, and hardly any of them are a good, comfortable fit.

[davsand]

26. Cotton.

Oddly enough, my husband has an appreciation for white cotton.

Dunno why, but lace and satin doesn't do a thing for him. Let me put on a white cotton tank and some boy cut white cotton panties, however, and our lives become interesting.

I am a very practical woman.

:evilgrin:

30. Hah...

that saves on the frilly underthings then.

And he can enjoy any ad, not just the VS ones. :P

[Lil Missy]

27. You mean for me? Or who I sleep with?

:P

[redqueen]

31. Either!

:hi:

[LeftyMom]

28. corsets and back-seamed stockings

[redqueen]

32. Nice...

I'm too nervous to wear back-seam stockings. I'm constantly worrying they're out of place.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

29. slips. long and short ones.

[redqueen]

33. And that's practical, too.

Good idea. :)
