Many of my customers are unaware that I have more than one shop, I have several listed below and I also have a couple of others that I have people running for me.
With so many shops keeping me busy I want to focus on you. What are your needs and what is important to you when shopping online?
Please take a moment to answer a few of the questions below. Also feel free to leave any comments.<br />
<br />
Once again, I am old fashioned and still believe in "the customer is always right" ... well, most of the time anyway!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Oh the wonderful - beautiful bosom! Women have using undergarments to assist in the perfection of their breasts by lifting, restraining and separating since around 2000BC. The Corset-style of the time was open at the front to the waist, leaving the breasts uncovered. Back in 2500 B.C., Warrior Minoan women on the Greek isle of Crete began wearing bras resembling garments. </div><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOZhwJ1VhPe3H65qR14YekffwisF5VqCkTAI0G3dxKQZEpePtQwzE-vcSX5EeX0_7Ft5aJhCAVs7ArZi_IbHEL4eEJAG2dKE2L95GZFu6c-rP-B5dmQmfIotchxueqi5lnwLyggxucW4-/s1600/images1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZOZhwJ1VhPe3H65qR14YekffwisF5VqCkTAI0G3dxKQZEpePtQwzE-vcSX5EeX0_7Ft5aJhCAVs7ArZi_IbHEL4eEJAG2dKE2L95GZFu6c-rP-B5dmQmfIotchxueqi5lnwLyggxucW4-/s200/images1.jpg" width="173" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">In the 1550s the whalebone and steel rod corsets became popular - even as women tortured themselves into wearing them. The corset became the dominant undergarment for the next 350 years. The 15th century breasts became the focal point. Waists were cinched even tighter while bodices were stiffened with stays covered and flattened the lower part of the breast while pushing the upper portion of the breast, creating cleavage and the appearance of height and roundness.</div><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIEO16kLD0yQ-IhPoLqzjlPD9EQabrDJVdYHI_55qyIdz4p8vVXlKvgUw59mH1iaP1BWW2JlftvHV5LNXFTy8JN2q3_TQ9KnFjoSHWcfGNlZ9OcuiQhA_6wSXYIHH-tPcCX7m-S9wlsLA-/s1600/images.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIEO16kLD0yQ-IhPoLqzjlPD9EQabrDJVdYHI_55qyIdz4p8vVXlKvgUw59mH1iaP1BWW2JlftvHV5LNXFTy8JN2q3_TQ9KnFjoSHWcfGNlZ9OcuiQhA_6wSXYIHH-tPcCX7m-S9wlsLA-/s1600/images.jpg" /></a> It was not until 1853 when the "breast supporter" was first patented by Marie Tucek. The breast supporter was equipped with two separate pockets for the breasts, with straps over the shoulders, and fastened by hook-and-eye closures at the back.<br />
