Saudi Arabia is so conservative that their mannequins have to dress appropriately. Mannequins in bra stores have to be dressed in pajamas. They are not allowed to depict women in a sexual manner. They also have to be headless to keep with the ban on realistic depictions of women. They are so concerned with the realistic and sexual depictions of women, yet they allow men to talk to women about their most intimate apparel.
Most women due to the embarrassment try to grab their bras and panties as quick as possible. They feel like they are buying contraband. They often end up with the wrong sized bra or several different sizes. They just do not want to feel embarrassed and invaded. Others, if they can afford it, go overseas to buy their lingerie. Through boycotting, the Saudi women hope to get a 2006 law implemented. It states that only female salespersons can work in an apparel store for women.
Saudi newspapers and other social networking groups have written about this issue. Petitions are being passed around the country. Word-of-mouth is spreading like crazy. In a conservative society, like Saudi Arabia, women want to be able to try on, shop, and discuss their lingerie without the unwelcome presence of strange men.
All reputable vintage дешевые белье online stores will check and describe the condition of the fabric, but you do need to be especially careful if you use an online auction site to source your shapewear. Garter clips from this era used a metal frame with a rubber garter tab. So often a beautiful fifties girdle is rendered less desirable by the rubber tab hardening - the first time one tries to open the garter clip the tab cracks and crumbles. Of course if you are very handy with a needle and thread it is possible to replace the garter tabs; the resulting garment will still be a delight to wear but less attractive to the purist collector, for whom original condition and construction is very important.
Condition: The nearer the condition of the garment to 'factory fresh' the more collectable it will be - naturally this is more difficult to attain with items from the twenties and thirties than from the sixties. There is currently little demand for lingerie after the sixties, because at that point pantyhose all but killed the stockings, garters and girdles. Collectors look for garments that are clean, show no signs of wear and tear, no perishing of fabrics, rust or storage marks. Frankly collecting for investment tends to be risky because subtle deterioration can be ongoing without expert care - it is better to collect to enjoy wearing, with the bonus that if you treat the items with care you are likely to recoup your outlay if and when you do decide to dispose of them. Age: It is obvious that an older item in great condition is likely to be more valuable than a more recent example. Check the label - older labels will have the hand washing instructions - if you see the machine washing icons then you are looking at modern shapewear! One clue to age is the older garments will have rubber, cotton, rayon used...more modern garments will have Lycra. Bear in mind that if the labels have been removed from the garment then it is unlikely to be of much interest to a collector. Another clue to age is that items from the forties often had the 'utility label', looking like a pair of 'pac men'. The holy grail for collectors, is to get find 'new old stock', often sold with the acronym 'NOS' - not only will the labels be intact but the original cardboard sales tag will be on the garment, and maybe even the original packaging.MORE;Cheap
