Anyone got any opinions on office wear?

As for the ladies, it's either Fruit of the loom, Hip huggers or wedgie makers (thongs). I have had trouble finding pretty lacey knickers, so if you see some knickers you like get'em

Good advice Piff Poff!

I just got a nice £300 order of pants and bras from Figleaves....I have read too much about dodgey underwear in Canada

Thats my excuse and if my husband comes on this site please tell him the same

I love NEXT and this is one thing I am going to miss (sorry)! But I did contact them and ask if they were going to expand further a field like they have in Europe. They stated the export cost were too expensive for them to consider America or Canada.

Whilst discussing, this thread that I have perused but not entered, over sunday dinner yesterday, and the lack of lovely undies in Canada, my dad.... yes I said, DAD, offered to send me them in the post from M&S when I need them

Bless his kindness, but will ask my mum when the time comes do you think they'll pay too?
