Back when working clothes always meant a suit or nice dress, I always bought matching bra & panties sets. When it worked, they were also matched to my clothes. Always also had matching shoes and purse.
Once I had kids, there were usually higher priority things to worry about, and then the workplace became more casual and so did I. It was fun while it lasted.
Are YOU Victoria?! :eek:
(just found out that Vickie’s is having one of their semi-annual sales - I may have to put my lunch break to good use)
What?! No. Who has the time? I can barely wake up enough to get going - I’d be screwed without the shower.
Most of the time, my undies don’t even match each other.
If we’re going out, I’ll try to make the undies match, but I never match them to my clothes (except in the case of sheer tops and such).
It has never occurred to me to do so.
And I probably still won’t - there’s only so much coordination this lazy girl is willing to do!
I generally don’t put a great deal of effort into matching anything, let alone my underclothes. But as it happens I tend to end up at least color-coordinated anyways, and that includes the bits of clothing no one’s going to see. When I do put effort into an outfit, I usually wear matching unmentionables simply because it feels incomplete if I don’t.
I often do. Usually I figure out what outfit I’m wearing first, so reaching for the coordinating color in the undies drawer is pretty easy. It’s nice knowing if for some reason my neckline wanders over and a strap peeks thru, it’ll be less noticeable since it’s not gonna clash.
*Her * secret is that she’s actually…Victor.
(How else can you explain the discomfort of underwires, negligees, and everything else the female sex wears to entice the male? Not to mention the prices! And don’t get me wrong, I like that stuff, too, but still.)
Am I the only woman in the world who actually likes corsets?
I think I love you. 
What type of corset? Tudor and Georgian are pretty comfortable. I’m not fond of Victorian or Edwardian- too much compression.
I believe I own one matching bra and panty set. I was forced to buy it by a friend who believes strongly in fancy matching undies. I never try to coordinate my underwear with my outer clothes unless I’m wearing something see-through or whatever. Too much thinking.
Hell, I’m a (straight) guy and I match my underwear and clothes if I have an appropriate combo. Orioles t-shirt on a casual Friday gets my baseball boxer briefs. Redskins jersey gets football boxer briefs. Black underwear and socks for a black shirt etc. You get the picture. Some outfits require certain underclothes, others don’t.
Nope, heck I don’t even wear matching underthings… unless it’s a surprise for the hubby. 
Nope, you’re not! I spend way more time in corsets than I care to think about.
As to the underwear question, my answers would have to depend on the outfit. If I’m in a dress, chances are my undies match and compliment the outfit, too. I have lots of “librarian” and “school-teacher” dresses, so I make up for being the picture of modesty and temperance by wearing fancy, lacy underthings.
If I’m in jeans and a t-shirt, nine times out of ten I’ll just be commando in the jeans and have on a plain cotton bra.
When I am corseted? Everything matches. That’s the beauty of making those outfits yourself.
Woohoo! A fellow crazy person!
I used to match my undies to my scrub pants when I worked at the vet’s office. But that was only practical - if my pants split, it wouldn’t be quite as obvious.
I never match. It strikes me as kind of creepy, somehow.
I buy all my underwear (I hate the word panties) on sale at Victoria’s Secret (usually about $2 a pair) and I try to get the most obnoxious ones. Those make me happy. I have camoflauge, pink green and blue randomly sized polka dots, bright fuschia stripes, etc.
My bras are a continual bane on my existence, and are usually white or beige.
Oh man, I have enough trouble coordinating the stuff people can actually see, without worrying about whether it matches my damned underwear.
Nope, I loves me my Fredericks’ Ultimate Corset!
All of my undergarments are white. Few of my outer garments are white. You do the math.
I do coordinate my underwear with my outerwear, and I am a bit embarrassed to admit it. This somehow seems like a teenage sort of thing to do, and I am in my late fifties. It just makes me feel good to have pretty undies that match or complement my clothes.
You know that old saying that most of our mothers told us, about always wearing nice underwear in case we get taken to the emergency room? Once when I went to the emergency room during an acute gall bladder attack, the emergency room nurses oohed and aahed over my pink bra & panties. So at least Mom was right about something. I suspect that during busy times, the triage nurse who decides which patients get treated first is probably doing an underwear inspection.
