So then, what’s this about knickers? Well It seems quite a
few people who have joined up for this ‘challenge’ have put knickers on their list of things they’d like
to make. And there has been quite a lot
of tweeting about it and looking for online tutorials (which there are quite a
few!)
I must admit, this did surprise me. I’d never considered
making them myself.
However, those M&S undies (they used to be my shop of choice when buying such items) Just aren't as
well made as they used to be. And to get anything half decent, do you need to spend
over £20??
Then I thought (as you do) ‘I wonder how much the ‘cheapest’
and the most ‘expensive’ knickers are’...
So quick google (I do love the internet!) and found (this is by no means *proper*
market research!) that:
Cheapest pair of ladies knickers I found are £1 from
Primark. A £1? Really? How can that be?? (Yes – OK, I know the answer).
Most expensive pair I found were £195. These are from Agent Provocateur's 'Soiree' range which are embellished with Swarovski crystals. They also do a playsuit for £15,000.
Bargain. (bodyguard not included).
So, this got me thinking - is it possible to make your own that would be
as special as some costing £195? (properly) I’m looking forward to seeing
everyone’s progress!
Maybe I will have a go...
oh and there’s an update on Mistyfuse. Here’s what they said:
“Attached Inc is dedicated to producing a
superior product and that also means a GREEN product. Our chemist formulated
Mistyfuse to be the best possible fusible: ultra sheer, super strong, uber
versatile, incomparably eco-friendly. EQUALLY IMPORTANT is our production
method. Mistyfuse is made in a green industrial facility which we can only do
because Mistyfuse is made without solvents, body modifiers, blow additives and
without extra adhesives. This careful formulation and production has another
benefit--it gives Mistyfuse superior aging properties. But we didn't stop
there. We also have a MIstyfuse that is made with a UV stabilizer to retard any
darkening that might occur over time.”
