DO YOUR UNDIES LOOK LIKE THESE?

Now, lets be honest here, if I were to come and inspect your underwear draw what would I find?
Lovely neatly packed knickers that would make the Napisan advert proud of you, no holes, torn elastic, or split seams, or would I find a mixed array of grey looking knickers, looking much like this photo below?

Almost everything we buy today is " MADE IN CHINA" even these bamboo knickers I bought have been mass produced in China.  In most cases the results of mass production end up with our purchases not lasting very long, not withstanding the washing machine, or general wear without the item splitting, coming apart at the seams, elastics breaking and my very worst is overlocking unraveling and fabric fraying as a result.
Often in mass production a floss is used to overlock and if not floss  neither a very good quality cotton which results in stitches breaking and holes forming in our clothing.

I don't know about you but I find this not only disheartening when something I have bought has a short life span but also when workmanship is of poor quality and the people who work their fingers to the bone for pittance.

How many of us find our knickers after a few washes ending up like this?

This is one of the main reasons many of us are turning more and more to purchasing "handmade" we may end up paying more, but at least the life span is longer and the quality is a million times better.
The old saying " You get what you pay for " is never truer.

When our children are growing at a rate of knots and we can't keep them in decent fitting clothes fast enough  to keep up with their growth, well then cheap and made in China is a good option, we become one of the buy and dispose of  crowd standing in the warehouse queues. It doesn't matter if they tear, split, become soiled and stained, they were cheap, on sale and we just go and purchase more;  however as woman we deserve better than what the our now " disposable nation" has become and has to offer.

Good quality, well made, custom fit Lingerie that lasts more than one season, and still looks good after a couple of years.  The kind of Lingerie that should I come and play Gok and raid your knicker draw you would be proud.

So, lets begin to all support handmade more, indulge in luxury that doesn't cost the earth, maybe a wee bit more than Postie Plus, however far better quality leaving us feeling luxurious and deserving.
