And yes, pole dancing is one of them! I’ve done pilates for a number of years and I absolutely love it. But pole dancing is a whole different kind of body strength, which also involves some pretty colourful bruises!
Before I started, I wanted to make sure I had the right kit and of course, hit the google search box with ‘pole dancing clothes’. Needless to say there were quite a few interesting outfits! For a lady in her prime, there were quite a few that would actually make my eyes water if I wore it (if you know what I mean!).
Thankfully, I did manage to find some that were more, ‘in line with my vibe’ and well, most importantly covered my assets! I ordered a couple of different ones to see what they looked like, because I had absolutely no idea what to expect. I didn’t want to spend too much as I was worried I’d hate it and it would be a total waste of money. Plus I bruise like a peach!
First package arrived, all items in tact in their plastic packaging with my receipt and instructions on returns, which I would have to do online, print out something and head to the post office. The outfit was nice, and it didn’t look too shabby! It was actually quite comfortable, although the fabric represented the price I paid, nor was it the colour I’d have liked.
Sadly, the second package didn’t arrive in time for my first class, but when it did, it was a recyclable paper bag, a very cute handwritten note saying ‘thanks for your purchase’ with all the info I needed to know, should I want to return it. Ooh and the fabric felt lovely on my skin.

COVERED IN BRUISES!
Week 1 of the class arrived! I was so excited! My tutor is amazing and I could not wait to get stuck in. Off we go with some warm up moves and well, it was going ok, until I bent over and felt a seam ‘go’. We both had a little chuckle and continued with the class, thankfully no more seam escapades.
On the way home, I popped into Morrisons for a couple of bits for dinner and off I went back home, a little bruised but chuffed to bits with what I’d done in the class. My lovely husband, as Yorkshire as you can get, shouted, ‘did you know you can see your knickers?!’ Couldn’t quite believe what he said so headed straight upstairs and yep, there we were, my M&S finest poking through the seam in the back.
NOT MY FINEST MOMENT!

Now, did I actually walk around Morrisons with my knickers on show? Or maybe they frayed a little more as I got back in the car…please please please let that be the case! Week 2 arrived and off I trot to the class wearing the outfit from package number two. Thankfully, no post class Morrisons stop to do, just in case of anymore of my M&S knickers decided to show themselves.
I’m very happy to confirm that there were no more clothing faux pas and I managed to nail my second lesson with huge success (and huge bruises).
Needless to say the company who sent items from package one were not particularly interested in helping me resolve the issue of the damaged item and would review the return once they’d received it from me. I wait in hope of a refund of dodgy stitching!
SERVICE AT IT’S BEST
I wrote a little review to the lovely company who had sent the second package (and made a subsequent order as they gave me a 10% off my next purchase) to say how much I loved their clothing and looking forward to my second order arriving.
Whilst it may sometimes feel good to pay a little less, by paying a little more you’ll most definitely feel the luxury and a receive a higher level of service (no doubt!).
