Changing lingerie reviews as your body alters

My body size has recently changed, meaning that my lingerie fits differently.

There's a few bits that are obe size and really don't fot at all any more, they just fall off and/or don't even hold together.

I'm wondering if there was a way to add this to a revew, like a follow up?

 I believe you can write a second review. I have seen it done in the past when some people have written a review and found their opinion on it has changed later on.

I think keeping them as two reviews will be easier for people to follow as well because it works with their expectations. People see a review with a date and the mindset is one person, one body, one period of time.

Since you want to do something different, use their expectations - and the site's formatting - to emphasize that difference. It will make things easier for you to write too, since you're so careful to make note of your size and shape. Your original review will clearly be for one size and your second for another.

You'll also get two sets of stars, which will be helpful for something that's genuinely four-five star for one size and two-three (or even one) for another.

Those are my thoughts - a second review will communicate what you want to say more clearly and succinctly. Even to people who aren't reading as carefully as you're writing.

I think a second reveiw would work better, as it is not the lingerie that has changed, it's your body shape. 

If you review again as a different body shape then people can see what it would be like at that size.

I agree with you Ness great idea to do a 2nd review.

As  it will give a fair unbiased view at the start, so many factors can change over time, not just your bodyshape, the material maybe gorgeous in the package, looks amazing on as its the right size you bought at that time that fits you; but later after several washes some materials can degrade and I think its good to know that.

If we spend alot of money on something especially lingerie and if its in tatters after a few washes we need to know why. or it starts to fray; these things we dont know till after a few wears and washes.

Do the hook and eyes start to rust (yes Ive had that alot with other brands, but not with LH). Does the material thin and degrade causing the underwires to tear through the material as it gets washed? Does the bra straps stretch and the stitching start to come apart?

None of these happen initially...hopefully.

I agree with Rose that you can give a second set of stars and see the comparison.

MM yes its good to know how the lingerie grows with you, how does it stretch etc.How much change can that material take?
