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.
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.
