A question for the ladies

Santa Claus · 2004-12-01 16:26:31

Need to get a present for Mrs claus for christmas and she's stipulated no home made presents. Had thought of buying lingerie, but contrary to popular belief Mrs Claus is in fact petite and only a size 8. I've tried figleaves.com but the smallest they seem to do is a size 10. Anyone know anywhere that would stock a size 8 ?…

Anyone know anywhere that would stock a size 8 ? (preferably on-line to save the usual embarrassment of buying 2 of whatever is nearest the till regardless of size colour etc to ensure a quick exit!)

Thanks

Perhaps Splendour might be worth investigating

Try Knickerbox. They're just inside the door on the right hand side as you go into St. Stephen's Green Shopping Centre.
Alternatively try http://www.knickerbox.co.uk

PS. Mr. Santy, sir, do I get an extra christmas pressie for helping you find a pressie for Mrs. Claus???

Well I got the other half Agent Provecateur undies from Brown Thomas the other day and got the suspender belt in the wrong size, they changed it no problem.

Have to admit that I'd recommend it as an "in person" job as the whole experience was quite enjoyable. Talking about underwear to pretty girls with not a lot on would have to be one of the more enjoyable christmas shopping events.

does cutting a slit into a pair of knickers she already owns count as homemade? what if you get a professional seamstress to do it?

The girls in Anne Summers tend to be really friendly and helpful but if you're getting the present for her and not yourself you'd be better going with Agent Provecateur or La Perla...

THE sexiest female underwear you can buy.

An ex of mine loved it, and I loved her in/out of it too!

8's a standard size, you can get it anywhere.

This was just your excuse to start an underwear thread, wasn't it?

They have the nicest lingerie in VS and you'd have no problem getting a size 8 there!

I'd say it was more a case of bragging that his ol doll is a size 8.

That said, I am enjoying the links on this thread immensely!

Size 8? Normally with lingerie you are dealing with cup sizes...

Love Kylie can be found on Figleaves and most of her sizes are tiny - I know from experience as I would be an 8 but with a big cup size.

Nah, the "uniform" in Agent Provacateur is a tiny little all in one dress which is split to the belly button, well just about, and they wear the underwear underneath. Actually the day I was there they were having some kind of underwear launch and there were several girls standing around modelling underwear.

Ah it was like some pubescant boys dream come to life, actually it was like being 14 again and seeing the lingerie section of the grattan catalogue come to life, but i digress.

Brownie point wise La Perla or AP stuff will win the most brownie points sliding down to Ann Summers split crotch specials at the other end which will only end in embarressment for both parties.
