The fabric is laid out and a high-tech gluing process takes place. The layers of fabric are then pressed together under controlled heat. Extensive wear and wash testing has proven the reliability and longevity of the fused fabric.

Berlei Supertech - The Bounce Test Trial
News - Thread, New Zealand
Sports bras are unfashionable things that are better unseen and like brakes and accountants, you just want them to work and not know about it. Unstylish things like an elastic ankle bandage for one's breasts, I've always thought of them as something you'd bind your breasts in to go undercover as a boy in a WWII war movie.

Dolce & Gabbana - the guys who got the girls to get their bras out
News - The Times Online, Uk
While Madonna was redefining the modern female body — Marilyn Monroe breasts, a shot-putter’s musculature — Dolce and Gabbana gave her something to wear that showcased her new rock-hard femininity. Having popularised the corset in the late 1980s, they went one further in the 1990s and put the bra on show — not with the burlesque theatricality that Jean Paul Gaultier had borrowed from Yves Saint Laurent several years earlier, when he put Madonna in conical basques, but in an altogether more accessible, wearable way. D&G made the bra integral to the dress, then turned the straps into a focal point. The results looked like a beautiful, erotic mistake, as if a woman had somehow got dressed in too much of a hurry, her luscious, unkempt hair suggesting that maybe she hadn’t even had time to glance in the mirror. How much sexier does it get?

Fifi Chachnil great Thirties-style pants
Great place to buy Thirties-style candy coloured pants that have the days of the week on the front. 26 rue Cambon, Paris.
Holiday G-string from hell
Spain is wonderful for shoes, painting and house accessories not to mention food but underwear after the experience I have just had I am not so sure…
As you can see from the brilliant blue g-string above that the underwear looks fun, fruity and a little tropical. Perfect I believed to show off a bronze tan. Instead once worn the g-string was scratchy, itchy, rubbing and this is the good part, see the loop in the weave near the crotch area. These could only have been designed by a man! This g-string is not a tutti-frutti delight as it has more in common with a contraption of torture. One eye watering experience never to be repeated.

Old friends
The Underwear Drawer - stories from a lingerieholic
There is something lovely warm and familiar about old friends. If you haven’t seen them for a while it’s good to see what they remember about the old times, somehow it is always different to how I see it or indeed how I see myself. This friend I caught up with remembers me as the love’em and leave them girl from my carefree days at college. More boys asking for dates than days in the week. It was funny to hear her recollections and see her view of me as if I hadn’t changed in over ten years.
I on the other hand have changed I don’t love’em and leave them. In fact I haven’t been in a relationship for eighteen months, through choice and not meeting the right men. How we do change in tens years yet people still see us as the young days. I was pleased to hear these stories as in my imagination she brought my memories back to life and how we laughed. Old friends are like favourite old knickers warm, familiar and they keep the young girl we all are alive inside.
