I, too, have some pretty new things in my lingerie drawer thanks to NAS. It's so nice to peek in there! I have a further question about altering the straps on your bras, if you don't mind me asking. Do you do it yourself, or do you have someone else do it? If you do it yourself, do you have any special tips? Thanks so much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318802 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 12:36:26 +0000 Style Fan 1318802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great reviews.&nbsp; I love my Chantelle bra.&nbsp; I have the memory foam one and it is very comfortable.&nbsp; I find Chantelle fits me best.</p> <p>I have the Hanky Panky low rise thong.&nbsp; They work well but I don't think they are special.&nbsp; Lots of nice colours.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318783 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 12:04:24 +0000 Suz 1318783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, that is so helpful to hear about the Simones -- thank you! This is what I think I need to do with mine. The straps are just on the edge of too long. I have the plunge Caressence and it fits perfectly brand new, but then straps begin to stretch a bit and it isn't as good. Great tip. I find they last extremely well (apart from the strap issue) and stay in great shape for a long time, so I would like to get more wear from them.&nbsp;</p> <p>Now interested in the Superfeet also. Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318774 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:52:24 +0000 Anonymous 1318774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great, great buys. &nbsp;You are making me want to consider more lingerie.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear the green insoles in my walking/running shoes. &nbsp;I don't wear them in my regular shoes, but am wondering if I should consider that as well. &nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318655 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:41:00 +0000 deb 1318655@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, I found your bra <a href="http://www.herroom.com/search2.aspx?terms=DKNY+Modern+Lights&amp;new=yes" rel="nofollow">here</a> in case you are still looking. I find many of my discontinued items there. I also have to wear the Superfeet insoles&nbsp;after I injured my let last year. The physical therapist recommended it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318652 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:37:30 +0000 kellygirl 1318652@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great review! I tried the HP low rise too and thought they might be too low until I wore them for a day. They really stay put. I think I'm going to buy a few more and toss my old VS ones. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318648 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:33:35 +0000 CocoLion 1318648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisap -- I find the Superfeet insole superior for my high insteps. &nbsp;They give me more hours on my feet! &nbsp;I wear them inside my Rag &amp; Bone Newbury boots. &nbsp;They also make an insole that works for flatter feet (the blue ones). &nbsp;I wear the green ones with lower heeled boots and sneakers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318640 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 05:22:26 +0000 CocoLion 1318640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Karymk I think the Chantelle bra I tried was an excellent bra. &nbsp;I have another one from last year's NAS that I love. &nbsp;The Hankys make me happy, I got the ones in fun prints. &nbsp;They are a great work item because they stay put under my fitted jeans and don't leave a mark. &nbsp;I figure seated people see my backside probably more than I think. &nbsp;</p> <p>My boyfriend doesn't like the Hankys though. &nbsp;He prefers my regular old Vanity Fair Illumination String Bikinis.</p> <p>Firecracker thanks for the info, I think I will return the HP bikinis. &nbsp;I will try the DKNYs, the reviews are great. &nbsp;</p> <p>Simone Perele bras: &nbsp;Suz I alter the straps. &nbsp;The straps are too long on me by quite a bit. &nbsp;I have three different models of Simones. &nbsp; I have the first two bras, my favorite is the second, the Andora. &nbsp;My third one is the discontinued Romance, which looks like the Amour. &nbsp;I want to try the Amour and Andora Triangle. &nbsp;The latter doesn't have a lace band which I like. &nbsp;I found the Caressence band to be sracthy for a good year, now it's finally softened. &nbsp;I wait to buy these every two years from BareNecessities.com, during their 25% off Friends and Family sale. &nbsp;It's usually in April I think. &nbsp;I am due again this coming April. &nbsp;Yay for that. &nbsp;I love lingerie! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318626 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 04:52:02 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1318626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Denise, they do ride up on me a little; that was what gave the VPL. They may work for you, though; I tried them on a sales associate's suggestion. I think different styles work for different shaped derrieres. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318575 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:41:19 +0000 karymk 1318575@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a great Chantelle bra and knicker set from NAS. Or at least the bra was on the sale. It felt true to my "new" size, or "resize" at VS when they last fitted me. I got it in a pretty deep rose, or soft red color, no padding this time which I don't mind at all. &nbsp;In fact its a relief to have a bra so light and airy this time of year. &nbsp;I will def try more of the Chantelle line even though they are only designed in France, not made there. &nbsp;</p> <p>I don't like Hanky Panky's , I have not had a pair I adored. &nbsp;And I don't feel special in them, and gosh darn, my underwear needs to make me feel special! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318570 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:35:56 +0000 Suz 1318570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you get your Simone's altered? Is it the band or the straps? I agree they are an amazing bra. Very well made. But on mine, I wish the straps would go shorter -- and I am not having that problem with the Betsy. I wonder if an alteration there would be smart.&nbsp;</p> <p>You did right by passing on the Betsy if the straps were already at full crank.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318536 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:13:15 +0000 CocoLion 1318536@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes Suz I, like Diana, have a short upper torso so the straps were already fully cranked on the Betsey&nbsp;which doesn't bode well for future elastic stretching. But I agree the bra is so pretty! &nbsp;I almost ordered it in a smaller size but exercised restraint.&nbsp;</p> <p>I feel like I am in between sizes at the moment, and only my Simone Pereles are fitting right so I decided why settle for just good enough, for the price of 2 ok bras, I can get one fab bra. &nbsp;Even though the Simone's need alterations. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318529 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:06:38 +0000 CocoLion 1318529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Firecracker I have not yet worn the Hanky Panky bikinis. &nbsp;I'm not too hung up on the VPL aspect, but I am getting really tired of panties that ride up over the day, or when I sit down. &nbsp;I want ones that stay put. &nbsp;Do they stay put or do they ride up? &nbsp;I can still return them. </p> <p>ETA - Thanks for the DKNY suggestion.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318526 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 03:03:52 +0000 Suz 1318526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excellent review, Denise.&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm not surprised by your assessment of the Betsy Johnson. I must have read dozens of the reviews and I ended up going <b>down</b> a cup size in that one when I ordered, which was the right thing -- it fit. Diana and I agreed that the fabric on that one is a bit weird (so much so that she did not keep hers -- there was a strap problem for her as well -- straps too long). I kept the one I ordered because it was so comfortable despite the odd fabric.&nbsp;</p> <p>Elly mentioned to me that it is possible to get Chantelle bras in a 30 band, just not at Nordstrom's. I didn't know that. Maybe you would have luck with that bra elsewhere?&nbsp;</p> <p>My underwear drawer is also full of pretty new things! It's a great time to stock up and smart of you not to buy a lot of other stuff just now. I hope the shirt works out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318508 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 02:46:16 +0000 Anonymous 1318508@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Didnt know HP had a new bikini style. I've worn their standard lace thong for years - nothing else works as well. &nbsp;Will have to give the new style a try....although based on what Ms Firecracker says - maybe not? &nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for the formal introduction to Superfeet. I've seen them mentioned a few times on this blog but wasn't familiar. Now on my list to investigate, thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318498 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 02:39:18 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1318498@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the review, Denise! You've got me thinking about the mesh bag and the Superheel inserts. I have the Superfeet heel insert for flats and wear them a lot. <br />fwiw, I tried the Hanky Panky bikini and am not a fan. Slight panty line effect on me. But my new favorites are the DKNY lace bikini that are on anniversary sale. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/my-nas-picks-lingerie-review#post-1318464 Wed, 30 Jul 2014 02:13:16 +0000 CocoLion 1318464@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So this year, although I was sorely tempted by many of Angie's picks, I held back. &nbsp;Our cooler weather&nbsp;does not start until mid-November, and the past two years that I've purchased fall or winter NAS merchandise, it's hung unworn in my closet for months. &nbsp;But I do love the lingerie selections so I tried a number of pieces. &nbsp;</p> <p>Sadly the DKNY Modern Lights is no longer available. &nbsp;That bra fits me so well. &nbsp;So I tried the DKNY Signature Lace bra and it is too big. &nbsp;Same with the Betsey Stocking Stripe bra. &nbsp;The Chantelle Intimates Memory Foam bra is a perfect basic bra. &nbsp;I already knew to size down one cup because this brand runs big on me, compared to American brands like CK or DKNY. &nbsp;However, the band is too loose and it doesn't come in a 30. &nbsp;I believe my bra size is changing -- I have taken off 5 lbs but usually that's not enough to change my size. &nbsp;I think it's more than that. &nbsp;Probably the M word.</p> <p>I'm keeping the Hanky Panky low rise thongs, even though I usually prefer a higher rise. &nbsp;I felt ready for a change and like the way the low rise thong is more fitted. &nbsp;I'm also trying the Hanky Panky V-kini for the first time. &nbsp;So lots of new exciting things in my underwear drawer! &nbsp;I also LOVE the Nordstrom large lingerie bag. &nbsp;I am using it for fine knits, it's big enough for that. &nbsp;It's well made. &nbsp;</p> <p>Is anyone else a fan of&nbsp;SuperFeet high heel insoles? &nbsp;I have a pair that are three years old and still going strong. &nbsp;I'm now happy to have a second pair.&nbsp; Highly recommended item and at a great price right now.</p> <p>My final item was not part of NAS. &nbsp;It's this Sandra Ingrish knit shirt, for my work capsule. &nbsp;I ordered it in both the S and the XS but the XS isn't even as fitted as on the model on me. &nbsp;I sent the S back. &nbsp;We'll see if the XS shrinks to fit like on the model, that's what I'm looking for. &nbsp;Fitted tops simply stay put better than baggy tops when working.</p>
