If, like me, you are a buxom wench who finds underwear shopping a demoralising experience, then be…read moreprepared to splash the cash and head to Oh La La. I first went here with a friend who was looking for some saucy but tasteful bridal underwear for her wedding night and I loved it. The staff are mad, French and tactile to say the least. I have never had my boobs sized by being weighed by hand in a shop before and the lady helping us was happy to lift up her skirt and show us how the lovely French knickers she was modelling were good for big bums. But they are incredibly helpful and honest and know how to fit a bra properly unlike most of the women in high street stores. The makes they stock are usually the harder to get hold of brands that you need to order via catalogue and thus are pricier but they are generally really nice. They also do great sports bras for the larger chested lady. Definitely worth a visit or you or your fella feel you are in line for a treat, but be prepared for the rather unorthodox sales technique!

Its quite pricey but then you get what you pay for, she even gave me a special washing machine bag to keep my delicates in shop bought condition. I would say she caters for all ages and sizes.

In the boudoir-style shop draped in lace, silk and satin I was impressed by the range, the textures and the sizes (though the prices left me feeling dizzy). From sexy daywear bras and knickers to luxury handmade corsets and basques, plus a few saucy secrets to boot - they've got something for your every desire!! Situated very seductively on the triangle (!) in Clifton, you won't have to be embarrassed walking in to buy your smalls - it's a darn sight classier than Ann Summers in Broadmead.

Who doesn't want to look like a reincarnation of Jessica Rabbit? Although it's one of the oldest tricks in the book, you can't deny the fantastic hourglass effect and confidence corsets give a woman. Especially now, as burlesque is as popular as ever. Nikita Sablier is the brainchild of Nikki Hambry, and although the store has only been open since July of 2008, it is already a raging success. You can find a number of corsets by designers that she has handpicked herself. Most of the pieces are hand made and cater to the luxury market, but this shouldn't put you off, because like a bra, a corset is an investment, and the quality and sturdiness of each one is assured. My favourite is a cream corset, all satin and lace and steel boning. Might have to get myself a credit card though - it's £299!

I discovered it while looking for a 'Cheer Up Goth' t-shirt (still not found one!) and was entertained by looking at the funny t-shirts. I don't think I'd wear many of them, but I've got a couple of friends who thrive on that sort of display of wit. I'm more interested in the Camden market, hippie-ish bags, colourful wall decorations and accessories. It's not too expensive, at around £16.50 for a t-shirt, and it's well worth popping in if you're buying a present for someone who's into that sort of thing. Top tip: try and go during the week as it gets very crowded on Saturdays.
