VS bra guide without hook/magnet
this has been requested a few times so I wanted to make a new guide. i have lifted hundreds of dollars worth of bras at VS for quite some time now and i’ve never had any problems so i figured i’d help yall out.
there’s two methods i use, one with a shoppers tote and one without. if your VS usually counts then you might have better luck just holding the bras.
1. walking in - basic rules apply, it’s better to come not in a group, be friendly but avoid SAs. i look around for a lil bit and then take a shoppers tote. sometimes i will lift bras without using the shoppers tote but i will write more on that
2. i usually lift undies as well if i’m using the shopping tote, it’s less sus to have the shoppers tote that way so you can act like you just didn’t want to hold a bunch of panties. if you don’t use the tote you can grab a panty or two after you get some bras but it’s harder to hide.
3. looking for bras - the bras you need to look for are ones tagged on the lace or fabric. this makes it easier to cut. don’t be frustrated if you find a style of bra you like that doesn’t have this kind of tagging. tagging on the elastic is standard procedure for vs but i can always find some tagged on the lace or fabric, even some without tags on a good day. you can cut out tags on the elastic if you really wanna but it’s harder and might damage the bra. don’t be sus while looking for these bras. it looks kind of odd to be checking different bras of the same style and size for tags. be discreet, act like you’re checking the price. take the bras and put them in your shoppers tote or hold them if you are not using a tote. after finding the bras i usually take a couple bras i don’t intend on buying or lifting.
4. find an item with pockets and another large item to cover the stuff. i usually take a sweatshirt and sweatpants and lay it on top. if you’re not using a shoppers tote, take a clothing item and place it on top of the bras in your hand. don’t completely cover them, but cover the bras you want to lift and expose the ones you don’t. i usually take one of their stain slips for this method. make your way to the dressing room. once in the room, make sure the SA is not sitting outside doing other shit. if she is, send her out to the floor to get another size/style or w/e. you’re going to have to detag fast now.
*if the SA counts, you’re kind of fucked but if you reeeally want your shit, you’re going to have to be a lil risky. the SA has only ever counted for me once when i’ve been trying to lift. what i did was detagged as normal and waited for her to leave/help another customer in another fitting room (it’s best if she left) and haul ass out of there. they rarely ever recount anyway
5. since you don’t have a hook or magnet, you’re going to have to cut out the tag using a pair of durable, curved nail scissors. these are small and easy to hide and they have the ability to get into smaller spaces, which makes them ideal to use. the hole isn’t very noticeable but you can sew them if you want. place the tags in the item with pockets.
6. if the SA is outside when you leave, DO NOT give her back the item with the tags. put that one back yourself. whether you take the bras or other items you didn’t lift and put them back yourself is your choice but i usually do it myself, i think it minimizes contact with SAs which is what you want.
7. after you do all this you can fake a call or just walk out. enjoy ya bras girl 😎
i hope this guide helps! if anyone has questions my ask box is open
