The Bendon Outlet store is amazing. Think beautiful silk and lace bras by the like of Elle Macpherson and Stella McCartney for only $20. Considering that these usually go for anywhere between $50-$100, this is quite the bargain. Even better they stock a large range of sizes. While the $20 sales aren't an every day occurrence, they tend to happen every few months. In the meantime there are various other specials, such as 50% off all bras and 3 pairs of briefs for $20.

I went there, looking for some new sports bras having heard about it through my work (I'm a PT) and wow, what a service! They pick lots of different styles of bra for you and then even offer treadmill analysis to compare which bra is reducing your "bounce" the most. There are two treadmills out the back, both fully curtained off and completely private. Of course, you don't have to use the treadmill analysis - they can fit you without it - but I figured, why not, may as well get the full service! The bras are a little on the pricey side, but for something that is pretty much as important as having the right running shoes, you can't really compromise on quality. The staff are lovely and completely non pushy and give you as much privacy as you want and need. All in all a great new and important service for all the sporty ladies! Check it out, if you want amazing comfort when you next hit the pavement for a run.

Dawn Thornton Lingerie of course! This shop stocks the perfect lingerie for those looking for something slightly more modest, ladylike and for 'women of a certain age' (I mean that in the nicest way obviously.) Stunning colours but nothing to brassy, and very flattering bras and underwear for all shapes and sizes. They also stock sleepwear that is both comfortable and flattering, and simple, elegant singlets which can be worn alone or underneath clothing - they're my favourite! Ms Thornton is located in Kew Junction on the up and coming shopping strip, so after you've had your latte and been a 'lady that lunches', get yourself some ladylike undies too!

I'm torn about this place. While it seems to offer great value for money, with bras, undies and…read moreswimwear under $20, the quality is seriously lacking and most of the bras I have purchased here have popped an underwire within weeks. It is also hard to find bras that aren't padded to porn-star standards here- if you are looking for a simple t-shirt bra you are probably better off going elsewhere. The COB range, which also includes PJ's, hoodies, sportswear and robes is definitely cute to look at but the fabric is a bit rough to the touch and the quality isn't top notch. If you are looking for cheap and cheerful stuff that you know isn't going to last forever, by all means go ahead, but if you want quality and longevity it is probably better to go elsewhere. A true example of the old adage "you get what you pay for".

Cotton On Body is helping to fill that gap. Located within the excellent Spencer Street Fashion Station next door to Southern Cross railway station, this particular branch of Cotton On Body sells a range of current and past season's stock at discount prices. I invariably head to the Spencer Street outpost of Cotton On Body if I'm after some of Cotton On's excellent girls boxer shorts for sleeping - $5 down from $20 - or a pair of Cotton On's gorgeous PJs. Bras are as little as $10, knickers $5 and Cotton On's sumptuous dressing gowns, which sell for around $50 full price are usually in stock for more like $20. If you need some smalls, head to Cotton On Body at Spencer Street Fashion Station. Simples.

But on an afternoon stroll up Smith Street, the words "Nothing over $20" caught my eye and I had to have a gander. As a woman I have often gazed lovingly at gorgeous underwear from brands such as Elle McPherson, Fayreform and the ever impressive Pleasure State. I have then looked at the price tags and almost cried. But not at the Bendon Factory Shop. The prices here are so low that you almost want to give them more money. Pleasure State in particular can be up to $150 for a bra - for ONE BRA. At the Bendon Factory Shop? 20 bucks. Now we can all afford to feel (and look) smokin' hot in our knickers. Ladies, buy up!

Down the…read morediscount end of Fitzroy's Smith Street, the Bendon Factory Shop stocks a range of underwear by labels such as Bendon and Elle Macpherson at quite frankly flabbergastingly low prices. As such, queues for changing rooms and suchlike can be formidable but if you're wise and avoid this place like the proverbial plague at weekends you can come away with more than a few bargains without too much hoopla. $10 bra sales and the like are commonplace and you can easily save up to 70% on some very saucy smalls. A quick caveat emptor: there's a reason that a lot of this stock is discounted with some odd - and overly kinky - designs and not the best range of sizes on offer. As such, do make sure you choose wisely to avoid mistakenly returning home with too small smalls or crotchless panties. That said, for eagle eyed lingerie lovers the Bendon Factory Shop is an absolute must visit.

The reasons why I Iove this Canadian brand are many but here's a few: - The make their clothes out of fabrics they expect you to sweat in and chuck straight in the wash - The fabrics all feel really nice on the skin and don't chafe - They have some great colours, as well as the neutral blacks, whites etc - They have everything from tights to cool pants. My favourite item from Lulu Lemon is a pair of black pants that go to just below the knee. I can wear them to run in, or they are nice enough that I have worn them out so they are really versatile. They were perfect to wear to a work cricket match - I could run around in them but I could also go out to a cafe afterwards. Perfect! The outlet store is great as well! They stock full priced gear but they also do indeed have some bargains. I bought a jacket I had my eye on at the full priced store for nearly half the price. Sweet! My only concern is that my sister bought something from here and they forgot to take the security tag off, so she had to return it. So maybe check that before you leave. There is a bit of parking in the surrounding streets.

Bendon is one of the most popular destinations along the strip because everyone needs underwear at reasonable prices. Bendon stocks some great brands including Elle Macpherson Intimates, Bendon, Macpherson Men, Stella McCartney Intimates and more. There is an enormous amount of stock to work your way through so I recommend grabbing as much as you can and then working your way through your purchases. The sales assistants do their best in a very busy environment, they are really helpful but don't expect them to stick with you the whole time - they have to keep track of all the other customers too. The stock is discounted all year round so I recommend going there every couple of months to see what new stock they have moved in. When you're shopping at David Jones or Myer and looking at lingerie, keep in mind that many of those items may well end up at Bendon a few weeks or months later.
