About Hidden Agenda Lingerie

Feeling and looking good on the outside, comes from the inside. Amazing lingerie can give confidence, after all the less you wear the more it matters , and lingerie is the foundation, quite literally of looking fantastic.

Having lingerie that is the perfect fit is critical feeling confident in what you are wearing, so why is it finding an amazing bra like finding great jeans…almost impossible? Hidden Agenda Lingerie is the answer as in our stores in Botley and Romsey, Hampshire, we are trained to focus on getting your bra to fit perfectly.

Some evidence suggests that the lingerie industry is, quite literally, getting bigger. D+ bra sales now account for 40.6% of the market, an increase of 14% on 2005. Why? Partly it is because UK sizing is increasing, but equally some women have worn the wrong size bra for years. The result is poor shape, back ache, bad fitting clothes, and ultimately the relegation of lingerie to ‘that’ necessary evil you have to buy once in a blue moon. Measuring and fitting often reveals the back size of the bra is too big. Smaller fitting gives real support and can increase the cup size!

The truth is that professional measuring is the first step to ensuring the foundation of feeling comfortable, confident and looking amazing. Once is never enough, a womans size and shape changes regularly for lots of reasons, so regular measuring is important too. Brands of lingerie fit differently of course, so getting it just right is also down to personal service, which is exactly why women all over Hampshire are recommending Hidden Agenda. Many women have experienced buying more than one bra in ‘their’ size only to find they all fit totally differently. The ideal solution is to spend time with an expert who has brought stock carefully to suit all tastes, sizes, ages and budgets, and also knows their ranges inside out.

Larger department stores simply cannot offer the service so they stock lots of brands for the more popular size. Women report they find a style they really like only to find it isn’t available in their size. It's not just the extremes, women are increasingly small backed with larger cup sizes and they too can’t find any choice.

The independent retail store has a chance to get it right for women. Hidden Agenda is a pretty unique small store open to the west of Fareham in Botley, Hampshire, and to the south of Winchester in Romsey. They stock lingerie with just the right measure of sex appeal and feminine elegance.

The Met Office is promising a hot summer in the UK this year, and even it they predict wrongly, more of us than ever will be jetting far and wide in search of relaxation, and fun in the sun. Strange to think that for women, ostensibly this means stripping down to our underwear and revealing rather more of ourselves than we are comfortable with for 8 hours a day! Having swimwear that is the perfect fit is critical to feeling confident, so why is it finding an amazing swimming costume or bikini like finding great jeans…almost impossible?

Off to the sun, most of us shop for, and pack far too many clothes for our holidays. That sweet little pair of crop trousers and perfect little sun dress take pride of place in the suitcase, only to come home again unworn, as the glorious weather means all we really wanted to do is live and die in all holiday was the bathers!

At our most vulnerable and wanting to look our best makes choosing swimwear a key purchase. Brands of swimwear fit differently of course, so getting it just right is down to personal service. Many women have experienced buying more than one bikini in ‘their’ size only to find they all fit totally differently. The ideal solution is to spend time with an expert who has brought stock carefully to suit all tastes, sizes, ages and budgets, and also knows their ranges inside out.
