I wanna buy my girlfriend a really sexy lingerie. Victoria's Secret-esque is what I'm looking for. I've tried looking for a Victoria's Secret shop in Seoul but apparently, there's none. All the other lingerie shops I've looked at are kinda tame. Where could I buy a really nice one?

You could always order Victoria`s Secret from their website. Might not be too late if you do now.

Just order from Victoria's Secret.

Lingerie stores here are quite tacky. Eblin looks good if you're standing far, but once you get up close it's ugly and cheap materials.

If you're willing to splurge, go to a department store and buy French designer stuff.

You said you're in Seoul. There are a few shops in the CoEx mall that specifically focus on lingerie, plus a few department stores that also have large lingerie sections.

I checked the prices and you could get something better for a cheaper price at Victoria's Secret. It's a bit expensive. I'll try the department stores. Maybe they have something decent. Victoria's shipping takes about 13-15 days so not gonna make it =( Any idea if those lingerie stores in COEX are decent? Which department stores should I go to? I head there's this Japanese lingerie shop in Myeongdong, anybody been there?

From what I've heard, you should at least check out Agent Provacateur. Vicki regularly shops companies like theirs to buy up "samples" that they take apart and copy. You might find that you want the real thing.

There's a place in the basement of Doota in Dongdaemun that basically re-sells new Victoria's Secret-type sexy costume wear and Japanese cosplay materials.

Stuff like this:

Or, if your girlfriend is ugly, you can buy a mask for her, too:

www.figleaves.com is also very good- not sure how long they take to ship. One thing to keep in mind is that Korean cup sizes are very different than western ones.

Aimerfeel is the Japanese shop in Myeongdong. I think it's pretty good and they do carry bigger sizes. Smile

It's right across from the Mr. Donut.
