Fantastic service! I have been ordering from this location since 2003. Live in the US and it is difficult to find the full range of Prima Donna plus styles and sizes. Bare Necessities not only has them, but offers free shipping promotions a few times each year, which I utilize and order several items. The items arrive quite quickly considering the destination is ex-EU.

I visited their shop in Melbourne and the experience was wonderful, lovely lingerie. Unfortunately they are moving and I will no longer be able to go to them.
