Handmade lingerie

Hello

Im wondering if you can help me. Im a lingerie designer and in the process of setting up my own business of a lingerie and loungewear Atelier, with help from the Princes Trust. I handmake (and handstitch) luxury soft silk pieces with a preference for 1930s-1940s reproductions, bridal trousseau's, bespoke and made to measure. The craftsmanship of my work is key focusing on a quality, which isnt readily available anymore even within the luxury market.

I need to carry out some research in conjunction with the Princes Trust, and have 5 short questions. It would be great to hear some opinions

Thanks in advance for your help

Question 1

Who do you usually buy special pieces/luxury lingerie from? Why?

Question 2

If you had the choice between an averagely priced mass manufactured piece or a bespoke/made to measure piece at a slightly higher price which would be your preference? Why?

Question 3

When would you buy a piece of luxury lingerie?

_____ Special Occasion_____ Gift
_____ Wedding/bridal trousseau_____ Treat
