Underwear!!
I've just been into Emma H, our very own lovely local knicker shop.
Not brand new I know, but a first time visit for me.
I'll admit I've been avoiding it as it looks fabulous and I had a feeling I'd wanna buy everything and come home with oodles of lovely stuff, but very overdrawn!
NOT TRUE!!
I went in as I needed something specific, not only did they have exactly what I was looking for at a remarkably reasonable price, but the service was fantastic, no snootiness at all. (unlike some other shops in town)
Emma really knows her stuff, has a fab range of brands, starting at a very competitive £17 a set (cheaper than marks and much prettier to!) Freya (Cheaper than John Lewis & Debenhams), some really swanky high end stuff, and all the obvious brands you know and love that actually fit!, all kinds of body shaping paraphernalia, stunning swimwear (also body shaping) and nightwear. Practical & pretty, lots of plus sizes available too.
The changing rooms are big and well lit, and all in all it really was a great local shopping experience.
I've a particularly awkward dress that needs some underwear, so on Emma's suggestion I'll be taking it in with me and trying on some different bits to see what works, she really is accommodating, even for an old fusspot like me!
So for any one who's been a bit daunted, don't be, it wont break the bank, and I'm betting they'll have exactly what you're after!
Thank God there are some shops in Hertford we actually need!

Hmmmm, it certainly appears to be attracting a lot of new and starting forum members.

Please Oh please make sure someone checks the dress from behind when you try on the underwear. I remember well watching an immaculately dressed young woman walking past my shop en route to a wedding. She looked stunning until I saw her from behind. No VPL, just two plates of jelly. Problem was, no one was going to tell her and she had no idea.

New members? Really?
Olive has posted for ages (since 2006), though unlike some she doesn't respond to "a drop of hat", so her few posts IMHO are meaningful. And Emma H is responding as a shop owner by saying thank you.
Unwarranted criticism on this occasion Mr Shunt.

It wasn't actually intended as a critism. It was more a comment on a sudden flurry of new activity generated by an unusal subject heading (for HOL). Possible marketing strategy for the forum? I shall head my next topic "Knickers!" [:D]

I am told there are other "Forums" for that sort of stuff (snigger!).
Before this descends too far (can you feel admin twitching) - I will be passing on this recommendation to Mrs "S" who is increasingly disappointed by the "shuttering" (as my father calls it) selections at the chain stores.

I admit it! I am a regular wearer of knickers and so am innocently taken in by the "marketing" ploy alluded to by another user....any other recommmendations for knicker type establishments in Hertford would be gratefully received as this will save me firing up the engines and travelling to WGC or Cheshunt. Phew.

I am not a regular wearer of knickers. Their silky softness and gentle touch on the skin may be alluring but the robustness of man pants and the fact that I would be mocked somewhat when getting changed for football sways my choice (plus the fact that they would not accomodate my dangly bits). That said, I support positive comments on this forum about any local business.
Good luck Emma.

thanks for the positive comments. I'm not going to say much about the shop as I don't want to get into trouble for advertising but there is a link on the home page of discover Hertford if any ladies are in need of some new knickers or bras :)
