Toot toot! Hear that? It's the sound of everyone at figleaves.com blowing the office trumpet thanks to a recent report on online retailers by consumer body Which? We topped the table in the clothing category thanks to the "range and user-friendliness" of our website as well as "ordering and delivery procedures". Our virtual fitting room got the thumbs up too.

Was Which? right? Do let us know.
"Green is the new black," said the April issue of Elle magazine, drawing attention to our new Greenleaves department. Featured: Eco-Boudoir silk satin camisole £133, Greenknickers silky hemp tie side brief £25.
News just in: This Morning has been testing sports bras today, with the models gamely bouncing up and down on a mini trampoline to assess their effectiveness at reducing breast movement. And the winner is... this Anita Rosa Faia Light and Firm sports bra, £27, which earned the full ten out of ten.
As featured in Reveal last month, new brand Elomi has just arrived at figleaves.com. "If you're all woman and love your curves, then reveal how fabulous you are in some seriously sexy undies!" said the mag. From the people who brought you larger cup size brands Freya, Fantasie and Fauve, Elomi specialises in sexy lingerie for the fuller figure, with back sizes available up to 52 in some styles. Pictured: Elomi Serena bridal basque (40-48, D-FF) £59.
Hope you're all enjoying Eamonn Holmes on This Morning this week (are we the only ones wishing he could stay?). Anyway, if you caught the show's Valentines lingerie round-up on Tuesday, you will have seen not one, not two, but three figleaves.com sets. And we were chuffed to bits to hear fashion expert Wendy Elsmore singing our praises: "Figleaves are an amazing online company," she enthused, before going on to explain that we have "a wonderful selection of underwear, more or less something for everybody." We could go on but modesty prevents us.
As seen on the show, left to right: Freya Maisie underwired balconette bra £29, and shorty £12; Ted Baker Mauve padded bra £38, and shorty £20; Calvin Klein 365 Contrast Binding trunk £15.
"Who knows what you're wearing beneath a business suit and tailored shirt..." said this month's Cosmo. In fact, it's Elle Mac's silk shorty, £30.
Let's catch up with some press pieces today. First, here's Chantelle's new range - the delicate, embroidery-strewn Capri - as seen in the February issue of Easy Living (you might have spotted it in February's Cosmo too). Half cup bra £49.
So last summer I took the train to Darlington with a suitcase full of designer swimwear to kit out the Ladette to Lady girls for their poolside party at Cliveden. Must say that they all seemed very sweet and were clearly on their best behaviour. Anyway, the resulting episode was screened last night and while we can't claim that the bikinis turned our heroines into ladies, they certainly looked very nice when they weren't busy screeching and splashing in the pool. What they wore? Simone was in Freya; Holly in Lisa Curran; Neema in Vitamin A; Nicole in Vix; and Louise charmed the bachelors in La Blanca's deep plunge one-piece.
Lots of lovely lingerie in the February iss ue of Red magazine, including this sheer lace set in the colour of the season - coral. Soft cup triangle bra £33, thong £19.
