    I need to get some new, sexy lingerie for my boudoir shoot next month, and for the wedding night/honeymoon. My go-to has always been Victoria's Secret - but do yall have any recommendations of places to get nice lingerie?

    I got mine from Victoria's Secret.  I was frustrated though because about a month later all the stuff I got was on sale at the semi-annual sale (but it would have been too late then).

    victoria's secret catalog sometimes has better deals than the store, and if you call them on the phone they will sometimes give you free shipping.

    I love VS, but when I did my shoot, I couldn't aford to go there. I actually went to Target and was able to get some pretty cute stuff. I've heard great things about Fredrick's of Hollywood (?) but I haven't actually shopped there.

    I've been looking into wedding lingerie, but haven't actually bought anything yet so I can't attest for quality. I really like the selection that Fredrick's of Hollywood has on their website and I like their prices more than VS too

    I have bought some things from Fredrick's but I really don't like them.  The quality wasn't great in my opinion and the stuff was way too out there for my taste.

    Okay, so...I'm definitely not an expert on lingerie, but these are a few of the places I've looked at to buy for the honeymoon:

    For softer, "flirty" underthings:  http://www.eberjey.com/nbrand/about_beliefs.php

    Custom Corsets: http://www.etsy.com/shop/labellefairy

    And, then I'm like a size 12 so I was planning to buy from Torrid because I feel like those are a bit more well-suited to my body shape. I have seen some cute stuff at Target, too.

    Edit: Oh, and of course, Claire Pettibone's stuff is gorgeous.

    I love these guys: http://www.agentprovocateur.com/ (but really, $100 for a pair of 'knickers'?!).

    Fun retro: http://www.dollhousebettie.com/

    Maybe some lucky bargains here: http://www.bluefly.com/Designer-Intimates-Sleepwear/_/N-fg0/list.fly?cm_re=1-_-leftnav-_-Categories

    Thanks everyone! I might stick with VS as my go-to, but I did really like some of the stuff on eberjay...

    I just bought my wedding night lingerie at TJ Maxx!! I wasnt shopping, but I found a really sexy get up that was Marilyn Monroe brand (?) and it was blue which is going to be my something blue. My suggestion- look everywhere! Even try department stores. You never know what you can find!
