Re: Knickers
why not just have 'staff' with the shopname or 'may I help you' printed on their backs like they have in other shops...

Re: Knickers
Iamthestig- It hasn't really- obviously the male workers haven't been able to offer a measuring service to women here. If you think in the UK it is estimated that 80% of women wear the wrong size then you can imagine its about 99.9% here. Even in Dubai I have seen women being measured over their abayas- not exactly accurate...
You should be remeasured if you gain or loose 5 lbs as this can effect your bust size and bras worn regularly should be changed every 6 months- especially out here as the elastane degrades. most women have no idea how a bra should fit correctly and to get the right bra measuring only offers a guide as the best bra fit also depends on how soft or firm a womans bust is, also which style may suit a woman better, so a soft bust is better suited to a balconette or a full cup bra, firmis for plunge neck other wise you get cut in on the neckline. anyway I won't bore you with the details. Silicon is a whole other story and actually silcon is very difficult to buy bras for.

Re: Knickers
I am working in the new Job Placment Centres here in Saudi, managing the operation to get Sauid's into jobs - we have men's & women's offices!
I have managed to contact a couple of companies with some good numbers of positions in both lingerie and cosmetics shops and we are finding that they are keen to employ Saudi women for these roles - some resistence from the families of said women due to lack of knowledge and fear of their women mixing with men but getting there!!
If anyone has any leads for me as to how we can secure more vacanies I would love to hear from you!!!!
Oh and those of you getting turned on by talk of bra's and gussets!!! Well maybe a trip home or to Bahrain may be in order!

Something wonderful about the word gusset
I have this fantasy of the Mrs walking through Manama with a habaya on and only stockings and suspenders on underneath.
Wife says No
