Jomico 2-hook Bra Extender (Beige, Black, & White)

I'm utterly disappointed with this set, especially because the straps seem to be good quality, they're nicely packaged and the price is good. As sizing was not mentioned anywhere, I took for granted that these straps were standard strap width. However, that's not the case (see my photo). They're perfect for small girl bras or for bras holding an A cup, which usually have skinny straps, not average adult bras. I have different bra brands and sizes and these extenders don't fit any of them. As I unwillingly broke the packaging box, I cannot return the items. So, the value for money is none.

Simon Pérèle is the quintessence of femininity and class in the underwear world, perhaps because it is a brand created by a female corset maker, who knew what I woman wants and needs. Their lingerie is colourful, delicate, classy, sexy, with attention to the detail, and enhancing of your body assets. I do not know you, but I would like to wear Simon Pérèle every day if I could afford it. 

The Simone Pérèle Outlet at Harbour Town Perth has provided me with innumerable moments of "ohmygoshness" and delight in the last three years. Even with the discount, the pieces are pricey, but they are affordable enough to feed your inner "hottie" now and then. They have regular discounts on full-priced items and on discounted ones, too, so it is a matter of being lucky when you visit, or visiting often to find real bargains. The cheapest prices are always on the items at the entrance racks. You get 15% off full priced items when you spend +50 bucks, which is easy.

The shop always has a mix range of styles, colours and prices, from the boring shapewear and invisible items to the movie-star-like lingerie. As in any outlet shop, finding your size might be a problem, or finding the matching pants of the bra of your choice, too.

The shop has four theatrically curtained spacious fitting rooms, which I love, but the space between racks is a bit narrow and uncomfortable to browse.

The staff members have always been helpful and welcoming. They let you browse around if that is what you want, or will give you a personalised attention if you decide to try anything, and they are very good helping with finding your perfect fit bra.

The shop has a VIP system that will inform you of discounts, exclusive events, and will give you a voucher for your birthday.

Simone Pérèle Outlet is one of my must fashion stops at Harbour Town Perth, together with the Oroton and Alanah Hill outlets. They always make my day.

Undiewarehouse (Online Shop, Australia)



Undiewarehouse is a Sydney-based online shop that sells women and men underwear, hosiery, and bra accessories, from medium range well-known brands, at reduced prices. Although the range of products is small, the products are definitely up to date and this season's fashion.

This is a perfect place to find staples or fav seasonal fashion items when they are out of stock at your local store, or a bit expensive there. This is especially true in Perth, where some things disappear from the racks to be never replaced, especially if they are seasonal items. I bought a few pairs of my favourite tights from here, which have not been available at David Jones or Myers for weeks. The discounts change from product to product, but are noticeable, especially off the retail sale period.

The site is no fuzz, not especially glamorous, but easy to navigate and shop from. You can check out as a guest or as registered customer, and can order using free normal shipping, which is free (and takes between 2-5 working days), and express shipping for $9.90. Still, you will have a tax figure added to your purchase. 

The tracking system is really good as your parcel will be sent by Post Australia; you can track it by using the Post Office tracking page, but Undiewarehouse will also send you tracking emails with info about your parcel.

ROOM FOR IMPROVEMENT
Generally speaking, the quality and resolution of the images is poor, which is especially evident when you zoom them in. Moreover, most products, like bras,  camisoles, corsets etc. just have a frontal photo, sometimes the package of the product. The ideal thing is having photos of a model wearing the products on, plus single individual photos of the product. It doesn't cost a fortune to have this done.

Although the site uses SSL encrypted checkout, I couldn't see the lock symbol or SSL sign properly displayed on the page, which always makes me hesitant to shop online. I usually pay through Paypal, but Paypal rejected the transaction from the site three times, and it has never happened to me in other online shops. This needs to be improved.

As many other online shops, they use online shipping lodging, so you get your tracking number immediately. However, this lodging does not mean that your parcel has been shipped. Therefore, the period the site marks as average, counts from the date of shipping not for the date of purchase. 

TIPS FOR SAVING

+ Wednesdays have all shipping costs waved for registered post on orders over $30.
+ Orders over $100 have all free postage. 
+ If you become a member, your get VIP reward points, which are exchangeable for discounts on your next online purchase.
