News reaches us here at DollyMix that M&S are launching a range of secret support clothes. Nothing earth shattering about that, you might say, but these babies are designed to be worn out and proud, not concealed from view under more glamorous garments.
Lest you think I am referring to some kind of Superman pant type trend, these clothes are simple and, dare I say it, quite chic. The line will initially include a pencil skirt and a cap sleeved knee length dress. M&S are clearly trying to offer the same kind of mix of form and function that Hervé Léger pioneered in his brilliant bandage dresses. However, M&S lack the designer cachet of Monsieur Léger.
It look me a long time to muster the courage to don a massive pair of support pants under a dress for a big night out, but now I am a huge convert. Still, I'm not so sure about dresses and skirts that people will know are holding back a tide of flesh.
What do you think?
The M&S range is available here from the end of August.
