One of my pet hates is the lines left in my skin from underwear and socks. Those itchy indentations are unsightly and seem to have a habit of appearing at the most inconvenient times.

So, I’m not sure how I feel about this special underwear which purposely leaves marks in the skin – albeit in rather pretty shapes and patterns. Created by Ninette van Kamp, the underwear contains special seams and beads to dent the skin. I have to admit, the swirls do look lovely and it’s a wonderfully non-permanent method of body art but I’m not sure I could handle spending the day in such an uncomfortable manner.
