Lingerie Products Gain Sales In Jeddah

It has been reported by owners and shop assistants that sales have been increasing at lingerie and accessories stores in Jeddah where they have employed women.

Because of the recent progress in women and their capability to work in the country, the owners had until last Thursday to act in accordance with a government order to substitute their male employees. A number of businesses had started employing female staff over the last two months.

The increase in sales is noticed by many as public approval of the Royal Decree issued last year by King Abdullah, Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques. Customers have allegedly welcomed females working as assistants, supervisors and accountants.

A worker of a lingerie shop in Roshana Mall, Rania Abdul Fattah, said that employing women at lingerie shops is a relief for both customers and Saudi women seeking stable jobs. The owner of this business, who was quick to implement the Royal Decree, noticed a sharp rise in sales over the past two months. She has been particularly busy at the store since the beginning of this week. The women who come in are relieved to see her. They are not shy to ask her help to find the right size and colour, and about special bargains and discounted items.

Even though Fattah enjoys working as a saleswoman, she said there are some negative aspects. She urges business owners to offer their female employees with medical insurance and additional money to face transport costs. She complains that at her prior sales job her salary was only SR2,500, with part of it being spent on paying for private transport to-and-from work. She also said that owners have to pay their workers a minimum of SR3,000 a month, as specified by the Ministry of Commerce and Industry. Female advocates are pushing for a monthly salary of SR5,000.

The necessary working hours are eight hours a day, divided into two shifts - one in the morning and the other in the afternoon until 10 P.M.

Order For The Closure Of Lingerie Stores

A resident Uzbek government official has appeared to have ordered the shutting down of stores displaying and selling items such as lingerie, for the reason that it is offending the view and thinking of the children.

The Kremlin-sponsored website and television channel Russia Today (rt.com) writes and Uzmetronom.com publishes the story last December 25 that states:

“Women in the Uzbek Capital Tashkent will have to buy their underwear ‘under the counter’ from now on. Local media say Otabek Sadykov took a walk through a local market and was shocked by the sight of bras and panties on sale. He immediately issued an order putting a stop to the display of women’s lingerie in shops.”

The narrative may have appeared in from semi-official uzmetronom.com, but this Russian-language Tashkent-based site often leaks from government sources and covers a variety of scandals and information of the day.

In accordance with the information from our readers, in Sergeli district of Tashkent, all shops retailing underwear are closed, and it has vanished from the shelves of specialized departments in other stores giving out or not disclosing any reason. At the present underwear is being sold underground. Consistent with merchants who were affected they are forced into the underground; the forbiddance on the sale of underwear in the district was imposed by the new khokim - the head of the local administration.

The article goes on to speculate sarcastically that next, recommendations from the commission on spirituality and education will be issued to regulate even the design of underwear and when, where, and how it can be worn -- and purchased only with a husband or wife or close relative present.

Not any of the sources utters whether this command from one khokim applies all over the place in Tashkent, and it appears mainly to be about displays, and not a ban on the sales.

It is also unclear if this new forbiddance stems from any spiritual authorities, even though there have been signs of a bit of a morals movement lately, with a concentrated effort on obscene lyrics in hip-hop music and art works.

This sounds like a chance for Gulnara Karimova, President Islam Karimov's designing daughter, known for her trend triumphs and failures.

For over twenty-five years, Celine Segal has been functioning as an in-store bra fitting consultant, the previous ten of which she has also dedicated her time as the Bra Doctor for Now That's Lingerie’s (NTL) online boutique. And because of her capacities, she was able to estimate that there are close to nine out of ten women that report to have discomforts with their bras but still continue to wear them.

Celine said that most of the women have never had the chance to have an appropriate bra fitting, or have been informed wrongly about it, that’s why they don't know they are wearing the wrong size. There are also a lot of factors when purchasing one like sudden weight changes, exercise, pregnancy, etc. She suggests examining ones bra size every six months and to under no circumstances wear a bra that doesn't fit properly.

The most common complaints from clients are back, neck and shoulder pain, says Celine. She added that it's unhealthy to wear a bra that doesn't fit well, no matter what your shape or size. She along with her blogging team on Bra Doctor's Blog help teach their readers on the subject of bra fitting. Celine said that it is rewarding to lend a hand to a woman in discovering the difference of having the right fit and bra size that can help her shape, comfort, and confidence.

Recycled Bras This Holiday Season

The Bra Recyclers just sent recycled bras to women that served at The Healing Place of Wake County. These bras help out on the setback of the number of textile waste towards the inside of the waste stream, at the same time as providing support to the women in need.

The Bra Recyclers is a textile recycling corporation based in Gilbert, Arizona. They were able to launch this partnership in October during the annual Bra Recycling Month event of the company.

The Healing Place provides recuperation and healing services to destitute, alcoholic and chemically reliant men. Just about 75 homeless women are housed at The Healing Place each night. Terri Conyers, The Healing Place staff member, touched on the call for recycled bras to assist in serving women at their facility. She said that many of these women get there with the clothes on their backs. Recycled bras will offer basic human entitlement to these women and also offer hope that somebody in reality cares and they may carry on with their recuperation process. They have every shape and size of a woman but they would appreciate more of the big sizes of recycled bras.

The Bra Recyclers aspire to offer women and girls in need. With the bra they are able to let the women feel encouraged, beautiful, and confident throughout their most distressed hours. Birks-Mitchell stated that having a clean and properly fitted bra to wear is more often than not at the top of the list for women and girls in need due to other priorities, like food, shelter, and safety. He said they want to do their part by providing a straightforward encouragement that will boost a woman’s spirit, improve her self esteem, and ultimately help re-shape a life. He also adds that aside from helping out these women, bra recycling also helps delay the number of textiles entering the waste stream.

A Favourite Ladies’ Fashion and Lingerie Website

When we turn to our favourite ladies’ fashion website, it is interesting to see if there are any new features, advertisements and updates.

A perceptive online clothes shopper notices changes to sites, whether subtle or significant, such as a new subcategory of dresses or tops.

There are many bonuses to buying ladies’ fashion and ladies lingerie online. In the first place, sellers have a huge opportunity to offer us affordable, trendy styles in a wider selection of a particular design. For instance, maternity-wear, bridal dresses, very tall men or for plus size women with a full-figure who are continually frustrated when trying to find a jacket that fits, and so on.

Secondly, although fashions change at a very fast pace, the online shopper will find current fashion trends are available. However, a woman will only return to buy her fashion online if she feels the company know her requirements. For instance, if the website specialises in jackets, shirts, coats and tops for the full-figured plus size woman, she will rest assured that the company are on top of current fashion trends and that designs will be adapted specifically for her.

A third perk for the online clothes shopper is the chance to buy an accessory from the store to match the top or skirt that is to be purchased.
