Hi all, Its so lovely to hear you all speaking about vintage lingerie so passionately. I completely agree that once you have fallen in love with it there is no going back. I would just like to bring to your attention Ayten Gasson's lingerie range.…

I guess I meant all that tacking ; like many others if I'm making most other things I pin and sew immediately . However with bras it isn't on which tends to mean repeatedly tacking the same bit until you get it right . I also find some seams which a…

Yes , of course . All garments including corsets were made entirely by hand until sewing machines became cheap in the 2nd half of the 19th Cent - at which time schools for the poor were still teaching "plain sewing " ie seams . You have to do lots o…

I'd echo what Jimipe says . It does depend first on how much sewing experience you have - bras are tricky to make , hard to fit perfectly and and seem horribly small when you are machining them so don't begin unless you've done lots of garments befo…

Sexy Panties & Naughty Knickers have to get rid of anything which still has their previous embroidered logo on so there is a sale on their website with truly staggering reductions ( eg briefs £21 - £3 ) but very little left so get them quick !

I believe there are a couple of other stores that charge more for larger cup sizes, but most have completely separate DD+ ranges so they can't be compared side-by-side.

Yes Rukshana, chain stores :)

Zoggi , I stand corrected ( v.puzzling phone-in tho') . I haven't been to M&S to buy for about 15 yrs at least ! Do other mass-market brands do this too in the UK ? Ludovic , do you mean chain stores ? I still can't recall seeing this with high-end…

I've seen this price difference in Canada too in many large surface stores.
May 10
M&S have been charging the extra £2 for as long as I can remember, but have just announced that they will be scrapping it. The reason that this is in the news is because of "Busts 4 Justice," a group formed to protest the unfairness of the policy, a…

Hi Rukshana,
We're sorry for the disruption - we think the site was targeted by spamming. Danae is on to the problem and hopefully it will be the end of the issue.

Thank you for making us aware of it.
Best wishes
Alison
