Buying lingerie on Ebay

November 29, 2006 by Mandolina

Ebay logoI have to be honest, I’m a skeptic when it comes to buying lingerie in online auctions. Some of my friends have tried to convince me to give it a go, but I’ve always been somewhat scared to get my hopes up about an item and receiving a fake non-piece that would leave me behind sitting in a corner feeling stupid about myself, wishing I had just shopped at an online shop or in one of my regular boutiques… I may be one of the lucky ones that can spend a decent budget on lingerie, but still, bargains are bargains, so I was enchanted by Kelly’s post on her blog Hyacinths and Biscuits where she talks about a positive surprise she had when buying a bra off Ebay:

pinstripes bra ebay“In the picture it looks like just some kind of plain fun pink bra with a black ribbon or two. But it is so much more amazing. In real life, there are pinstripes on the little bugger, and where it looks like there’s a black stripe on the band? That’s laced-up ribboning! Normally if I recieved an item from Ebay that was not as described, I would be pissed. But this was just an amazing surprise. Yay Ebay!”

That sounds good, no? Well, I might consider trying an Ebay bargain myself, even though there is some bad news from Kelly’s front. The bra isn’t half as comfortable as she had hoped… That’s another Ebay-con: there’s no returns possible. Oh the doubt!

Empreinte Emma Bra: “my twins love Empreinte!”

November 5, 2006 by Mandolina

empreinte emma underwired braI received a great e-mail message earlier this week from Laura, a Dutch girl blessed with a natural E-cup, and a fan of sexy lingerie just like me… She wanted to share her love for Empreinte lingerie with us, and after making sure she wouldn’t mind me posting an excerpt of her e-mail here I’m so glad I can share this with our readers… Check it out:

empreinte emma embroidered tulle_full cup bra“[…] I used to go into these boutiques filled with hope, and it hurt so bad having to leave them again feeling so dissapointed. Yes, they had the big-sized bra’s, but they just didn’t feel well. I ended up buying the same lingerie over and over again simply because it was the only lingerie I knew I’d feel good in. Can you imagine my anger at all my co-workers with their C-cups who can pretty much wear anything they want. […] Well, ever since I’ve gotten to know Empreinte and their awesome lingerie I feel like I’m the one laughing. Empreinte lingerie isn’t available in smaller sizes, simply because that’s not what it’s made for… I feel so at home in these bra’s, my twins just love Empreinte! […] I suggest you take a look at the sexy Empreinte Emma line which is one of my favorites.”

We checked out the (French) Empreinte website and must admit this one looks pretty good. I’ll have to take Laura’s word for it though if she says these bra’s fit better than any other bra she’s ever tried…

Anyways, I did my part, and went checking some prices: $104-$120 at biggerbras.com, £61.00 ($114.68) at Rigby & Peller and the bargain of the day is surely amplebosom.com where you can get the bra in all sizes for under $100. Thanks for the e-mail, Laura!
