Simply Yours gets Gok Wan to check out your bra!

Simply Yours have got a great big event coming up at Manchester's stylish Cloud 23 in the Hilton Hotel. Next Wednesday, Gok Wan will be checking out bra's and offering cocktails at the Above Average Underwear Party. Sounds like a great place to be if only we could go.

The Above Average Underwear Party is being held in collaboration with Manchester radio station Key 103 and will be hosted by Chelsea Norris of the 'Toolan in the Morning' show and Gok Wan. 50 lucky Key 103 listeners and competition winners along with their friends will be invited to attend this exciting event.

All proceeds from the event will go to CLIC Sargent, a charity which cares for children and young people with cancer and their families.

The inspiration of this event is mainly due to so many women in the UK wearing the incorrect bra-size. So Simply Yours is lending its expertise to the event's lucky guests along with Gok Wans fashion sense.

One lucky lady will even find herself in a private consultation with Gok himself, using his 1940s inspired collection of shapewear, designed exclusively for Simply Yours.

Tell me, where do you want to be on the 1^st of July? Well I want to be there too but it is an invitation only party so lets hope we get to see some pictures of what goes on!

RPeal, clothes made locally to meet your fashion needs

I have found another UK based retailer with a very proud claim, their clothing is made locally to them. RPeal currently employs 20 to 25 people and growing...

"...we are steadily growing at a pace which will provide even more employment as we go along. We have also committed to working with other UK businesses, including fabric and trimmings suppliers based in the Midlands, and others all across the United Kingdom."

Their styles are design for women in the size range of 14 to 34. The sizes are 're-proportioned', the look is true to the original concept they had in mind when they created it.

Their clothing is made locally as I said and their about pages states...

"We are proud to tell you that all our garments are designed and mostly made in Bradford, West Yorkshire and the inspiration for these designs comes from all over the world as well as reflecting new and upcoming trends, in terms of fabric, styling and colour."

If you are looking get something stylish and looking for something better than Evans can supply then do check out RPeal. By the way, dear reader, they are offering you a full 20 % discount off clothes on their website
