Marks & Spencer Underwear in general

In 1987, it was estimated that approximately one in every three people wore Marks and Spencer's underwear. This means that there must have been a lot of women in England wearing girdles with the Marks and Spencer's brand name on them. Marks and Spencer's did not used to create the garments themselves. Instead they used big manufacturers such as Courtauld's to make them for them. A wide range of girdles was available, ranging from light and average control through to firm, and even super firm control clothing. Nowadays Marks and Spencer's offer a huge range of lingerie suitable for everyone tastes. If women do not already own a pair of ...  Read the complete review

‘Have You Had a Boob Jobby?’ My credit card company must have been extremely grateful that I’d been using their credit facility so heavily because they sent me £80.00 of M & S Gift Vouchers. Anyone reading this will have a pretty good idea how much I’d borrowed on that particular credit card in order to get a gift like that- and in my case how much I’d paid in interest! This was three months ago and I wasn’t an M & S shopper because I still imagined crimplene trousers with elasticised waistbands and horrid floral frocks more suitable for curtains than for wearing. I therefore made a hasty visit to the underwear ...  Read the complete review

Pants are not something I normally get that excited about - I'm not the sort of person to waft around in something lacey and provocative, I like my clothes simple, functional and largely made of natural fibers. I also like them to fit. So here I am, 8 months pregnant, with a waist bigger than the tape measure - I'm now taking a size 24 in most things. As a result, none of the size 16 pants I used to wear fit any more. I had a long quest for pants, resulting in much irritation, because the vast majority of shops do not go over a size 18. Then I tried M&S. Marks and Spencer do a wide range of pants from the one lacy scrap of fabric for a lot of ...  Read the complete review

M&S are probably the place where most women buy their underwear. I think it was said that 90% of women own a pair of knickers from M&S - it's probably true! A large majority of girls get their first bra from M&S so it does have a special place in the hearts of many females. However, in the year 2000 is it still a major player in the expanding underwear retailing market as it used to be? There is competition from specialist retailers such as La Senza and Knickerbox and all department stores have lingerie sections selling a wide range of makes from gel filled bras to boned corsets. The one main area that M&S exploit that the others don't is in the boring ...  Read the complete review

rks and Spencer have always been known for their good quality underwear, I remember my mum 'treating' herself to m&s undies, and my gran swears by it still, won't shop anywhere else for her smalls. However in the last couple of decades it also came to be considered old fashioned, stuffy and boring, while being hugely overpriced. But in the last few years Marks and Spencer have worked hard to re-brand itself and try to winover the younger, more modern customer, with more disposable income. Some strageries employed were shedding the St. Micheal brand and introducing designer inspired brands such as Per Una, Autograph and Limited collection, and remodernising ...  Read the complete review
