Undie Party

Monday, October 18, 2010

Would you shop in your panties?  Would you shop in your panties if you got a free outfit?  Desigual (a fashion chain from Barcelona) promoted their first American “undie party” at their Manhattan store on September 23rd.  The first 100 people that showed up in their underwear was able to pick 2 free items (1 top, 1 bottom).  The line started at 7am (although some showed as early as 11pm the night before) and they had to strip by 9am.  The lucky first 100 were able to shop from 10-11am for their new outfit.  The other line goers got a 50% off voucher.  Would you have stripped down to your underwear and wait in line for the public to see for a new outfit?  photo: Guest of a Guest

I don't think I would ever be comfortable enough to strip down to my underwear in public to get a free outfit. But kudos to those who did! (:

I would shop in my undies...does a camisole/wife beater count as undies? It would be liberating I suppose. And free clothes aren't bad either!

I'd definitely consider it, but my decision would be dependent on a number of factors. e.g. Am I with a friend? Are there going to be lots of photos taken? How exclusive and expensive are the items?

I have never wanted a free Anything THAT badly. I would've had to be feeling pretty freaky, and want to be naked anyway to do that, otherwise, just for the free outfit, ...no, I wouldn't.

As much as I love a good deal - there's no way I'd feel comfortable enough to do that! Now what I would do is shop in my pajamas - that would be fun! :)

Probably not...but then it depends on the type of underwear--cami and boy shorts isn't bad.

That's pretty awesome. If you have the confidence to shop in your undies why not? It's the kind of thing we should see more of.

Honestly I would. I think Desigual has a very good concept and it's extremely marketable. I don't think alot of the American deigners would have the courage to have an event like that first.

I would never have the nerve to do that, but more props to those with the courage. I love new clothes, but I would have to draw the line at waiting in a line in my undies!

With pride! With all of the money we spend on cute underthings, why not show them off? A free outfit is icing on the cake!

It's in good taste and good fun so why not? After all the money and time I've put into looking good I might as well cash in on my investment :)

I would be comfortable wearing as much as I would wear to the beach... of course for me, I would not qualify. But if you are comfortable in a bikini on the beach, then why not wear one to get a free outfit?

I would do it in a cute pair of boy short undies and a cute bra. It would be like shopping in your bathing suit.

lol as embarassing as it is, I think I would. I would wear boy shorts and a very full coverage t-shirt bra and then have a trench over it to ensure quick stripping at the front of the line! lol

I wonder how many people say they are uncomfortable with it ever wear bikinis? Because my bra/panties are less revealing than many bikinis I see on the beach. I would definitely do this! (But I might not want to get up early. It depends how motivated I am haha). But I don't feel uncomfortable with the idea. I'm comfortable in my body, and I don't even think it's that revealing. Besides, the fact that so many people are with you makes it seem super fun!! But it might be cold at this time of year!

yes i would have did it whe way the economy is today who wouldnt want something free especially designer clothes. Thats one of the reasons why i shop online at elf because you get quality makeup for cheap everyone cant afford mac or bobbie brown makeup.

I would have been happy to go in underwear (I don't generally wear them, but I would wear some and go) if it meant I could get a free outfit! Please enter me for a chance at an ELF gift card. Thanks.

I am 44 and dont like a lot of makeup but have some redness and oily and dry spots and very sensitive skin. Although when I buy sensitive skin cleansing products my skin doesnt feel clean. Any ideas?
