I was thinking about setting up a new biz venture next year and I'd like your thoughts on lingerie. Is it popular? Would you only buy it from a high street shop where you could try it on, would it bother you buying online etc?

Can you realistically beat primark prices?
Saying that, I do buy pretty much all of my underwear from La Senza, or Marks for the practical stuff. TBH once I know it fits, I'd buy, provided the prices were decent enough. Not sure I'd order before trying at least one bra in the range on first.
I know my sizes but I still think they vary slightly. Some "uplift" bras don't do much uplifting and I would rather know first.
I don't think it's unhygenic, I mean the knickers always have those sticker things on them and I would rather try them on than risk not fitting and have to take them back. Having said that I don't often try on pants but always bras!
as for bras i agree each bra make and shape is different i always try on
In Marks and spencers now they wont even measure you, they just see how different bras fit when you try them on, because theres no continuity of sizing.
what fun
Like someone mentioned, bigger sizes that look sexy/pretty are pretty hard to find..
I dont mind online, as long its no hassle sending back if they dont fit...
????
I should hope you wash all your new clothes before wearing them!
I'd buy it online, as long as it has a good return policy. I rarely try on clothes in the store as usually they all fit the same, but will not hesitate to return if they aren't what I thought. I think that would be the most important thing.
i never wash new clothes before i wear them! are you meant to? i don't know anybody else who does either
I always get clothes from the back of the rail as I figure less people will have tried them on!
In that case there's an awful lot of 'nasty' people around.
I don't really care to be honest, my skin hasn't dropped off or anything.
Oh and I've never washed anything I've bought new from a shop before wearing it. Of course, second hand clothes are just nasty if unwashed, so of course I wash them first. But if I'm shopping in Urban Outfitters, then nah..... don't wash it first!
Plus, shrinkage is a huge issue when I wash clothes. If I didn't wear them first, I wouldn't know how much they've shrunk in the wash!!
No way, its the only time my clothes ever look ironed!
