Shoppers were certainly sharing their comments with one another outside the store.
"I've shopped here for 10 years, and I won't come back until they change the window," said Joe Cowden of Vienna.
"I walk the mall. I've been walking the mall for nine years," said Jana Spencer, 53, of Vienna, who said she has three grown children. "This is shocking. This is semi-pornographic. This is insulting."
Some shoppers said they have an issue not with what the store was selling but with the proximity of the displays to the mall's public areas.
Iyon Rosario made the trip to the mall from the District with her friend Betty Jackson. They both adored the new store.
"I love it," Rosario said, "I like the dark side of Vicky's. Every woman has a little bit of the dark side in her. They can do this. The mannequins aren't real. I have a husband, and I know he would love this. This is what keeps you happily married."
Some parents said they would not allow their teenagers to go to the mall.
"My 13-year-old daughter is going to come here and shop for a bra?" said Mary Lynne Carraway, 40, of McLean. "Come on. I'm appalled. That's like sending her to a street with a strip joint. Is this the kind of message we want to send to our children, that this is what they should look like?"
