Ambrielle Lingerie Spring 2008
We mentioned JC Penney’s lingerie line Ambrielle some time ago — and seeing as I felt bad admitting I hadn’t heard of ‘m, I went on a little research-spree. Turns out it’s not that surprising I hadn’t heard of the label, seeing as it’s exclusive to JC Penney, and completely unavailable here in Belgium. That’s life!
Still, after taking a closer look at the pieces, it seems like a very good “bang for buck”-brand. Flirtatious and hip lingerie at great prices. Lovely bras of well under $20 are no exception! For their Spring 2008 collection they went for shades of cool greens, sweet pinks, berry blues and warm yellows — a pairing to summer wardrobes. The line features a variety of styles in both bras and panties that will make (and I quote) “what goes under your clothes as much of a fashion statement as the clothes themselves”.
I like the looks, but I suggest you make up your own opinion — we’ve got pics! 
Ambrielle has a lovely website — make sure you check it out (and make sure to keep your eyes open for Ambrielle on TLP!).
I love the Ambrielle line!! I buy my bras from the Ambrielle line exclusively now. They have the best fitting bras up to a 42DD (which is what I am) I no longer have to shop at Lane Bryant thanks to Ambrielle. They’re lingerie fits amazing too! I highly recommend their line.
Worn once, underwire keeps poking trough and making it unwearable. How do I get an exchange?
I’d check with JCPenny. The site does not conduct any consumer transactions. Good luck.
I too LOVE the Ambrielle bras, however, I have of the same style and everyone of them I cannot keep the straps up. They fall continously, therefore it is a pain to wear them, but they are comfy and look great. Any suggestions what I can do to make the straps stay in place?? I am desperate, thank you.
I have a nickel allergy and after trying on the Ambrielle bras began to feel itchy all over. I wonder if anyone knows if the Ambrielle line is nickel free or if the underwire and strap adjusters are made of nickel or not ?
I could not believe how poorly these bras were made. The underwire came out after only ONE WASHING and they just didn’t fit properly. I wear the same size as I have for the past 20 years but their sizes obviously aren’t the same as what Playtex has. I will never purchase anything with the Ambrielle logo on it again. In my opinion, a quality store such as J.C. Penney should not do business with this company.
I’ve had my Ambrielle bras for a little over a year now, and I’m amazed at how well they’ve stood up (for that price). Easily the most flattering and comfortable bra I’ve found yet, and I’m in the lingerie business!
I too LOVE Ambrielle bras, but also have the difficulty with the straps staying up. To reiterate an earlier post… would love to hear ideas on how to get the straps to stay up.
Even with the strap challenge I continue to wear them because their line is more flattering than any other I have found!
The solution to falling straps is to wear the Ambrielle Strapless. I wear them year round.
The problem with these bras is that they are almost “disposable”. After one washing (hand wash only) the material is wrinkled and “weird”.
The wire has been fine for me. comfortable and stays in place. (36B)
I would never pay full price because this bra does not last. (one to three gentle washings and it is done.)
I too like the fit of these bras, but having great difficulty keeping the straps up and am disgusted that after only wearing the bra twice, the underwire poked through. These bras ARE expensive and should hold up better than this! MY much cheaper bras from Walmart hold up better than these did!
I bought 5 pairs of Ambrielle size 6M Panties with tag info that says 94% cotton 6% lycra. The # on the tags are 12-80-785 and 12-80-780 Made in Pakistan RN# 93677 exclusive of trim 73598-5 These underwear are the best fitting underwear that I have ever purchased. I have had these 5 pairs for about a year now and they are ready for the trash but I just can’t bring myself to part with them as I have searched everywhere and cannot find these same exact ones. I have bought over 40 different other Ambrielle panties and they don’t even come close to the fit of these ones. Would love to see them contract out these same ones again they are just great.
Nancy….I have to agree with you on the fit of the ambrielle unddies 93677 73598-5. I am in the same position…i need to toss mine, but i can’t part with them until i find more. Have you had any luck??
Add another one to the list looking for #93677. I wonder how we find out what other # fits the same way or if anyone has any new pairs laying around.
Wow! I can’t believe I’m NOT the only one out there looking for #93677! Someone needs to tell Ambrielle they need to bring that line back! I’ve tried on all the new ones and they aren’t worth a dime!!! I’d pay FULL price foe each piece if they’d just BRING IT BACK!!!!
Oh my gosh….I can’t believe there are other people looking for the same thing. Mine are in SUCH horrible shape, but I cannot bring myself to get rid of them. I have tried many other brands and do not like them. They were perfect.
At 47 years of age I have tried many different makes of bras and absolutely none of them came close to being as utterly uncomfortable as Ambrielle bras. Not only do they itch…they leave scars on the ribs and shoulders. They are more like an ancient form of torture. Can’t believe I paid good money for them. Worn each one once and plan to throw them in the trash. Almost like they are NOT designed to complement the female physique. Only a male could have designed and engineered something so painful and ill-fitting, seriously.
Sob! Well, isn’t this just the way! For years i ignored the comments on how tacky it is to have a VPL showing. Then finally a few months ago I found some panties at JCPenney that I just love, are very comfortable, are slightly shaping, pretty, modestly priced and show no VPL…and are now discontinued! Does anyone know of a product similar Penney’s Ambrielle Shaping Lace Short?
