Last year plus size lingerie specialist Simply Yours decided to give the women who wear its lingerie the chance to decide what they want to wear. Its customers, fashion students and all round lingerie lovers were invited to enter the lingerie design competition called From Brief to Bra to get their design made and sold in the Simply Yours 2011 Spring Summer collection.

Christine’s winning design

It was a big success. Over 100 women entered the competition with inspiration for their dream lingerie sets ranging from Hollywood Glamour to birds and flowers. Three finalists were then chosen by a panel of judges at the Simply Yours headquarters before the final decision was handed over to the Great British public on Facebook.

Nearly 400 people voted on their favourite design and the lucky winner is 38 year old Christine Pipes, from Consett, County Durham, a teacher at Newcastle Royal Grammar School in Jesmond, Newcastle. Christine’s cupcake design was inspired by a set of retro mugs she had recently purchased and cupcakes a student had baked for her school’s charity week.

Elle Macpherson Intimates lingerie is a huge success, and with good reason but it is fair to say it occupies an expensive price range. Here is Bra Selector’s top pick and two tips to help you save some pennies and bag yourself some killer undies.

Intimately sheer, this gorgeous lace notes bra from Elle Macpherson is sexy but subtle. Underwired, 3/4 cups support & enhance your bust, the adjustable straps offer you flexible comfort. Lace trimming & pretty bow details complete the style.

Australian supermodel Elle Macpherson stopped the traffic when she launched her own lingerie range with Bendon Ltd in 1990.

Three step bra size measurement

Published on March 23, 2010 in Bra features. 0 Comments Tags: , .

We stumbled upon this little video guide to DIY bra size measurement and thought it was worth sharing.

1. Band size
Wear a non-padded bra and use a soft tape measure. Hold the tape measure around your back at band level. Then bring it to the front, just above your bust. The resulting number is your band size.

If the number is odd, round down to the closest even number.

2. Bust measurement
Measure completely around the fullest part of your bust (at nipple level). This is your bust measurement. if this measurement falls on the 1/2 inch, round up.

3. Cup size
Subtract the band size (step 1) from the bust measurement (step 2). This number equates to the letter of your cup size.

Bust Measurement – Band Size = Cup Size.

For example, if your bust measurement is 36″ and your band size is 34, you wear a 34B bra.

Elle Macpherson talks sexy lingerie with PM’s wife

Published on March 4, 2010 in Newswatch. 0 Comments Tags: , , , .

Yes, I had to share this with you. Sarah Brown interviewed Elle “The Body” Macpherson, creator of Elle Macpherson Intimates during her stint as the News Of The World’s guest editor – and I thought they’d turned Tory.

Apparently Elle stays healthy by drinking 6 bottles of water a day and is partial to herbs when feeling unwell.

When asked about her fabulous range of lingerie she acknowledged the fact that not all women have such enviable figures.

I’m conscious when I’m designing lingerie of the need to create for all different types of women, so that my designs enhance the proportions of a woman’s body. Most women want to make their hips look narrower and their breasts look bigger.

What more could you want – it’s obviously the secret to Elle Macpherson intimates success.
