Lingerie ….

Arrrrgh!! does any one know of an *Indian* on-line lingerie store?

I am frustrated since last N years – once again it will be 11th May and I will not be able to get the gift I want.

Over the years I have shopped or rather tried shopping for lingerie in Nagpur, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Vizag.

Apart from the fact that at most cities the sales girls are absolutely idiotic who dont even understand how bra sizes are measured and will burst into fit of giggles when you mention it. These cities just dont have any selection. The standard white, black a few skin coloured rags. If you are lucky you will have some basic Lovable underwireds touted as *premium* stuff.

Except for Mumbai I could not find the entire Lovable range anywhere and yes the sales staff in Mumbai was very very helpful without being un-necessarily squeamish about it. In fact that is where I was educated on how to measure the bra size – nearly 10 years ago. Needless to say that I did not know both the measurements needed!!

Talking of sales staff surprisingly Hyderabad Shoppers Stop was good – but the girl, who was a real lady, told me that there is no demand for the stuff I wanted.

The biggest disappointment for me was Bangalore – I don’t even want to write about it.

  • hmmm..on commercial street there is a shop called peteions ( something on those lines..)..you get bra’s in other colours there..
    I don’t know about the patterns though.
    btw is this a gift your wife would like ..or a gift YOU’D like for her

    • >btw is this a gift your wife would like ..or a gift YOU’D like for her
      Ideally Swati should be answering this BUT I can safely say both!
      Have not yet met a real woman who does not like being feminine. BTW this is not just a bra I want I want a co-ordinated 3 to 5 piece thing.

  • Your experience is not surprising, considering that we’re in a country where even sanitary napkins are wrapped in newspaper before handing it across the counter.
