Women Try On Vintage Bras
AHHHHHHHH need a corset and cone bra!
My friends take the piss; but I reckon a cone bra would look gorgeous under a jumper and would be so comfy!
Body Comp.
So, in the post I will be comparing two lace bodies, one from a mid-market department store and the other from a specialist lingerie retailer.
H&M v.s VICTORIA SECRET
Victoria Secret
£50 appox
The Fit- The fit was perfect with this garment due to offering a back and cup size unlike the H&M body. The length of the body fitted me perfectly. The garment looks lovely underneath clothing, the fabric smooths over the skins and feels luxurious to wear.
The Style - The style is gorgeous, I love this vintage style bra type (how the cup continues gradually into the strap). However there is less support in the cup due to it being an under-wire. The lace trimmings on the bra top and bottom is divine; however I don't particularity like the lace in the body, it reminds me of the cheap lace offered at cheaper retailers.The 4 rubber garter straps complete the body lovely; the detachable gusset mean the body can be worn with stockings and the gusset undone ;)
The Quality - Beautiful craftsmanship, no unfinished seam and not straggely thread. Packaged lovely an the material isn't irritative.

H&M
£25 approx
The Fit - European sizes, I had to go for a size 40 for the cup sizeto fit, however, this meant the material over the tummy was a tad big with extra material! So the fit isn't perfect, however H&M are not specialists in underwear so therefore might not be worth while offering a range of sizes. The padded cup give support and looks lovely underclothes (acts like a t-shirt bra).
The Style - I love the mixture of fabrics, the lace and polka combination is pretty (reminds me of the Victoria Secret SS15 collection I posted later last year). I don't so much like the lace detail on the straps, it makes the garment look tacky. I paired this body with plain topped vintage hold ups as more lace would potentially be too much!
The Quality - Both of the garments have washed lovely in a delicate wash, however, I predict the H&M body will last less time than the VC body due to cheaper material. There are also a few bits of thread uncut.
In conclusion, I prefer the VC body due to the fit and style. However, I would love the VC body even more if the fabric design was the same as the H&M body; i adore the polka dots! You cannot argue with the H&M price however its worthwhile investing in underwear due to it lasting longer!

The Apprentice final!
oopppppps this is a tad late! But oh well I thought I would share my views!
I personally thought Bianca Miller had an awesome product idea.
-Matching hosiery to women's skin shade
Although her initial product range was quiet wide; as she wanted to cover a few shades, in a few sizes, in a few deniers I thought she had an amazing niche product.
I thought this product would especially benefit women with different yellow and black skin tones but also woman who wanted a pink tight that looked completely natural without looking too shiny.
The initial packaging for the product was terrible! The red font on the white packaging with a picture of legs on was really tacky and looked nothing like a luxury product! In the situation i would of used a ombre style packaging, starting from a matt colour of the tight shade in the packet to a matt black. Really sleek and sexy.
Each tight colour would have a classy womans name making the tights personal and feminine.
Barely any writing on the from just the logo.
Consumers could pick up the packaging and compare it to there own skin colour if they wished.
Also, Bianca's price bracket was a bit high at £30 a pair... if they tights had promised not to ladder or be sweat resistant it might of been a tad more bearable. The focus group also suggested 2 pairs in the price. The price definitely make the tights a luxury product,however customer may see the tights as occasion only wear and this will limited purchases.
