Stella McCartney, the daughter of ex-Beatle, Sir Paul McCartney, was furious when she spotted her bra being used in a Hockley advertisement, published in Vogue fashion magazine recently and ordered the advert to be dropped.

Stella McCartney, everyone knows, is a very vocal animal rights supporter and strict vegetarian.

Hockley is a high-end London boutique that stocks the world’s best fur designers. In this advert, the model is seen draped in a Hockley full length mink, black and white coat with a price tag of £6,450, over a Stella McCartney bra.

Apparently, Stella McCartney had loaned the bra to a stylist friend who then loaned it to Hockley. Hockley has apologized and said that if they had known that the bra is from Stella McCartney collection, they would not have used it. Hockley has also agreed to drop the advert.

Case closed.

I had actually wanted to start a category where I write about online lingerie merchants and retailers. I started with Playboy Store but have not had the time to follow up with another lingerie online store lately.

I was reminded of this when I received an email from my Buyer asking when I will be bringing in plus size lingerie. I don’t think I will be doing it in a big way. I may however bring in a couple of items occasionally but that certain cannot really meet the demand of the market.

Anyway, this is as just a good a time to introduce more online lingerie retailers and merchants on my blog. Next to be featured today, after Playboy Store, would be BiggerBras.com. Like the name of the store says, they specialize in plus size bras.

Not only can you shop for Plus Size Bras at BiggerBras.com, you can also find plus size swimwear. You know how difficult it is to find a good fitting swimsuit, let alone a plus size one! There are also maternity and nursing bras. All in all, there are over 15,000 lingerie items and more at Bigger Bras!

Whether you are shopping for Empress, Empriente, Goddess, Playtex or Vanity Fair, or even Oprah’s favorite bra, Le Mystere, you can find them all at Bigger Bras.
