You might think of that bra you bought, but didn't fit, as just clutter, but to Yvonne Moran-Mead and her daughter Demi, 18 they mean much more. Your donated bras means female human trafficking survivors in other parts of the world can start rebuilding their lives.

Yvonne and Demi are collecting bras for an organization called Free the Girls. This organization ships bras to women in other countries, like their shipment to Mozambique whose recipients were sold into prostitution when they were between the ages of eight and 10.

The project in Mozambique was dubbed a success, with the women making up to five times the minimum wage in their area, as second-hand clothing is a profitable market.

According to Yvonne in the Comox Valley Record:

"It's sustainable because the girls are allowed to have a certain number of bras free of charge and then, in order to keep it going, they pay a small fee to get more bras into it, and they can work and go to school and try to feel better about themselves and their life," explains Yvonne, "You can see how it can actually change a woman's life — it's a big impact."

Wacoal's pieces tend to be timeless. A full cup, delicate detailing and light padding makes for a long-wearing, multi-use bra. But one thing might need updating from time to time and that's colour.

That's why we're pleased to offer the Wacoal La Femme Contour Bra in royal blue. The colour is so new we don't even have an image to show you yet, so you'll have to come in and see if for yourself.

This bra offers great support and comfort with a low-plunging neckline and embroidered lace accents. The Wacoal La Femme Contour Bra is available in sizes 32-38, B-DD.

We don't generally daydream of bygone eras in fashion - we're pretty happy right where we are, but if history looked like this Prima Donna design, we might just start.

Today's feature is on this new piece by Prima Donna - the Nostalgia. This stunning bra and brief combination is available in the imperial purple seen right.

This design is great on a full bosom and has detailing reminiscent of some of the detailing seen on corsets like the ruching on the trim. A semi-transparent teardrop flock pattern adorns the cups.

The Prima Donna Nostalgia is available in 32 - 40 cups C - G and the briefs come in sizes S - XL.

Unusual. Extraordinary. It's what our clients insist on. They don't want to be like everyone else. They want to stand out, for all the right reasons.

And so does Un:usual. The Un:usual brand was born when its founders saw a need for a product that was designed for confident, young women who enjoyed fun fashion and perfect styling, just like our clients.

To the right is a new piece by Un:usual - the Pleasure. This piece is available in the fashion colour olive and is a molded cup bra with dotted detailing. You'll find small flowers at the breastbone, on the panty and on the split-strap of the bra. Because the design is done with matte and shine fabric, there isn't a lump or bump to be seen under even the lightest fabric.

The Pleasure by Un:usual is available in band sizes 34 - 42 cups C - G and the matching bikini panty is available in sizes S - XL.
