I think there was something like a "bra store" in The Glen in Glen Waverley which sold bras and nighties (some flannel so your husband doesn't touch you type thing)....but I can't remember the name of it.

I've had my mom ship over a bit and will be major restocking when I head home in December. I'm sure there has got to be something here though, but I haven't really looked much.

Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia	Ooookay, as soon as I saw the title of this thread, I thought, "Why is she interested in MY underwear?" :p :p Anyway, we have a Bras 'n' Things and a local chain called Sarah Lyn here, they seem to be alright but not like VS. I can't fit into their stuff anyway.

It advertises as selling "knickers". So I don't know if they have that where you are. The one I was trying to think of was "Bras and Things". Jennifer

I have to say, the idea of going home once a year and shopping like mad for a couple of days is exciting and may offset not being able to find what I like 'Down Under'. I actually ordered my wedding dress from Nordstroms back home and had my mom send it to NZ. (Did I mention we're getting married in the Cook Islands September 3rd?)

I never did like bra's n things - they are always trying to get me to buy "push-up bras" and "chicken fillets" - hehehehe.. guess I'm a tad on the smaller side, but I never think about it until one of those women try and get me to buy their 'boosting' products.

They're "implants".. you shove them down the bra, and they boost your bust. They're also kinda cold and horrible feeling. Ik!! No thanks - 'el natural all the way for me - I don't care if I don't have cleavage :p
