Personally I wouldn't buy her a bra unless you are absolutely sure of her size. Different brands vary enormously. One shop's 36c is another shop's 34b ! Go for neutral colours, I'd say black or white or a colour you know she likes. Don't go for the tarty stuff, unless she says it's okay ! You're safe with M & S, BHS are good, Hennes are okay, Primark are cheap but really not too bad at all !. If she's 36c do you know her hip size ?, for goodness sake don't buy anything on the large side or she maybe upset (unless you have mentioned with her). Unfortunately most womens panties are sied 8 -10, 12 - 14, 16 -18 etc ! It's a minefield out there mate ! take care !

Give her something from Victorias secret and have it gift wrapped.
If you go for Victorias secret, there are usually some offer codes to get discounts
try FSHIP (free shipping), PDOG (a cute little dog for free with the purchase), and HDAY (if you spend more than $100).
You can order from anywhere in the world, I'm in Iceland and buy a lot from VS.
Try this link: http://www2.victoriassecret.com/collection/index.cfm?&rfnbr=3280&cgname=OSGIFSXYZZZ&cgnbr=OSGIFSXYZZZ&page=3 if you need help placing an order, feel free to email me through here. Maybe you two could browse the site together and have some fun picking something out you both like.
Personally I think Anne Summers is cheap and slutty and would be offended if I got a present from there.

It depends how much you would like to spend. Marks and Spencers do have pretty underwear at very reasonable prices. A it more expensive but still affordable is La Senza - and this comes packaged really nicely with smelly pearls and tissue paper.
If you are pushing the boat out - Rigby and Peller, I'm not sure if they sell off the peg, but worth finding out if you really want to splash out.
Re styles - for a 36c (who is not pregnant...) I would go for an underwired bra and you could get one with some padding, although not too much!
Enjoy!

Buy what YOU would like to see her in, accentuate what you find sexiest about her, unless she has given hints as to what she wants. Victoria's Secret or Fredrick's Hollywood is good/moderate expense. Most importantly, never underestimate the power of YOUR encouragment and excitement in making her feel comfortable. Ever thought of making a day of it and asking her to go with you?! Good luck!

Red or black are sexy colours... I have bought some nice underwear from Ebay, there are plenty of lingerie shops on there.

Sorry, but I think lingerie for a girlfriend is a bit too personal. I realize I am not in your age group, but young people today seem to be way too eager to display their lust. Buy her a nice bracelet or a pair of earrings....something she can display without disrobing. Save the undergarments for your marriage.

The Victoria's Secret Pink line is cute, but if you want a cheaper route, try Kohl's or kohls.com, they carry Candie's brand lingerie that is adorable and affordable :-)

La Senza has really nice underwear, and they package them nicely as well. Maybe buy her a satin nightie/nightwear set, or an underwear set with little shorts/french knickers? Blacks always good!!!
Ann Summers is good, but can be quite pricey, depends on what she normally wears!! They have really nice sets in there, so it could be worth looking!!!
