BEAUTIFUL lingerie is an essential part of a bride's trousseau and one company in Hong Kong has shapely styles to suit all tastes and figures.
Jennifer Lethbridge sells underwear imported from Britain and is the sole agent here for the exclusive Rigby and Peller line as well as dealing with other well-known brand names such as Gossard and Burlei.
'Rigby and Peller are very famous for fitting people into bras, which is also how I work,' Ms Lethbridge said.
She first finds out what sort of bra the client needs and what she wants it to 'do' for her - such as giving her a cleavage. Then she finds her a bra to best suit the purpose.
'Seven out of 10 women wear the wrong size bra. I look at people and think, 'She could do with one that was smaller in the body, or she needs one that's bigger in the cup!',' Ms Lethbridge said.
For brides, she essentially sells three items. One of the most popular is the basque as it can be worn with or without straps. It is suitable for the off-the-shoulder dresses that are popular.
'It usually has a fairly low front and detachable suspenders so the bride can wear stockings if she chooses. And that usually comes down over the hips and gives a bit of help with the tummy as well,' Ms Lethbridge said.
