Donate Your Bras for Charity with Gigi’s Closet

Have you recently changed your bra size, bought a bra in the sale only to realise it doesn’t fit and you can’t return it, or, clearing out your lingerie drawer? All those bras you no longer need can now be donated to a good cause rather than cluttering up your drawers; as Katie mentioned last week, Gigi’s Closet have just launched their bra donation drive and are gathering together unwanted (and lightly worn) bras at their headquarters and distributing them to Goodwill outlets around Bucks County,Pennsylvania. Killing two birds with one stone, you can declutter your lingerie drawer and help to build a better community when you donate your redundant bras!

Send your bras to:
GigisCloset.com
c/o Gigi’s Bras for Charity
17 Martin Ct.
Newtown, PA 18940
USA

(Gigis Closet customers can use the free return shipping option to send donated bras to the boutique)

Evlove Needs Your Help!

We wrote about Evlove way back in April; Evlove are now back in the Knickers limelight, this time as a result of their place in the finals at Ideablob. With its rather cute name, Ideablob, is set up to help small business share and grow their ideas, and, offer businesses the chance to win $10.000!
Evlove, the online lingerie store where you can design your own undies, is now hoping to expand their business and needs more sewers (who need to be trained) to add to their small, Chicago-based manufacturing production team; they also have plans to open a shop where people will have the opportunity to design their lingerie on site! Needless to say, winning $10.000 would make all the difference to Evlove’s plans; if you would like to help Evlove, go to Ideablob, where you can place your vote – and hurry, there are only 3 days to go!
