M&S Lingerie Review

M&S 2 Pack Limited Collection Floral Embroidered Push Up Bras and 2 Pack Limited Collection Floral Lace Thongs

I have a serious underwear obsession. I have to have matching underwear which means I normally stick to colours like black, white, nude and cream so I always have bottoms that can go together. But I have a few sets that break that mould and are pink, gold/bronze and purple. I also tend to be drawn to lacey, femine fabrics but always long for full-support and enhancing qualities. Lately I have really struggled to find some new bra sets that offer everything I want for a reasonable price, without lacking in quality! I thought I might have hit the jackpot with an Intimissimi purchase but unfortunately for numerous reasons you can find on my Intimissimi review post, it didn't live up to my expectations. So, I went to Boux Avenue, somewhere I have bought some lovely pieces from before and thought I had found a padded bra with lace to solve my dilemma but after wearing it, I ended up returning it. For some reason the lace trim rubbed my skin raw and really irritated my skin! I tried Ann Summers but found the styles I liked either had too much padding or none at all, and I don't know what other people think but I don't think the quality of their lingerie is always the best. Since La Senza went into stand alone stores I have found the stock really brash and boisterous - colours that are too bold and too much frills and fanciful features for my tastes. Finally, I found my ultimate bra set in Victoria Secret. I had never worn a bra more comfortable or well-made and it was extremely sexy and flattering too. But I wasn't about to drop over £50 on a lingerie set. So, that left me wondering where to turn. I had never bought underwear from M&S before but thought I would just give their stock a browse. I was so happy when I came across this tasteful lightly padded bra with gorgeous floral embroidery. And for £16 you don't just get one bra but 2. One in a royal blue and the other in a bright white. Paired with a duo pack in the same colours the matching thongs were only £9.50. So, for two beautiful sets I only parted with £25.50! 

Where do you normally shop for your underwear? And do you often find it hard buying the perfect pair?
