20% Off Undercrackers at Boux Avenue

I'm new to Boux Avenue, a lingerie chain that has come to Cardiff, but as they were one of the generous sponsors of the recent costume talk event I attended at St David's, I felt compelled to have a peek in their store and see what they had on offer.

The store layout is rather nice - rather than piles of pants everywhere, there are examples of each style on top of the counters, and you open the drawers beneath to find your size.  I was a little disappointed in the bras - the vast majority seemed to have more padding that Joan Collins' suits in the '80s.  I know that's a trend these days, but it's not one I subscribe too.  Light padding is perfectly adequate to ensure people look at your face when you're in a cold meeting room and need to be taken seriously.  Anything more is false advertising.

As well as underwear there's a good selection of nightwear and loungewear, and the staff in the Cardiff branch were super-friendly and attentive.  Here's my pick of items currently in stock that are a bit 'vintagey'.

Fleure longline bra, £24

Peta Satin and Lace Pyjamas £42

Leonie Silk Robe £85

One final comment is that the sizing seems a little limited - 32A to 34DD on some of the bras.
