A daring saleswoman stunned shoppers when she strutted around a Chinese market place in her lingerie – and then enjoyed a sales boost for her efforts.

The living mannequin stripped next to her market stall in Tangshan City in Hebei Province to demonstrate how her underwear should be worn.

Shoppers in the Fengrun District of the city stopped to take photos as the scantily clad saleswoman advertised her merchandise by striking a series of provocative poses.

Her advertising campaign soon became a hit on Chinese social media and sparked a sales bonanza.

Sexy Soft-Cup Bras and Lingerie at the Kiki de Montparnasse Sale

About half of the sale is made up of standard undergarments, like bras and panties. As we mentioned above, many of the bras we found are soft-cup styles: we spotted lace demi bras, satin triangle bras, and sheer balconette bras, all for $50. The padded bras are limited, but include lace-lined full-coverage styles for $70 and satin demi bras with lace-up corset-style backs for $40.

A small rack in the front of the sale space holds specially-priced items; bras on this rack (again, mostly soft cup) are marked $30-$40.

We found underwear in every cut, including satin boyshorts, lace briefs, and silk high-waisted styles for $40. There’s also a table of ruffled chiffon briefs and satin thongs, that are $25 each. We also found some decidedly sexier special-occasion pieces, including leather string bikini-cut underwear and caged styles (which you can see in the gallery) for $40 each.

Aside from that, the sale offers an impressive selection of vintage-inspired lingerie, such as silk garterbelts ($40), satin corsets ($85), and bra-top slips for $140. The sizing for these range between extra small and large, with a good distribution in each size range.

There’s a small selection of ready-to-wear clothing among the lingerie, including bodycon skirts for $125 and chiffon evening gowns for $300. These are grouped with high-end loungewear, like floor-length satin robes ($200) and lace-trimmed rompers for $125.

Oddly enough, our favorite part of this sale was the selection of casual brushed-cotton loungewear, which are toward the back. Expect to find soft, oversized tees for $50, tie-waist shorts for $60, and cropped muscle tanks for $30, There is also a rack of leggings, which range in price from $50-$125 (the pricier ones are super-soft cashmere).

The bottom line: the discounts are unbelievably good, relatively speaking, but because the original prices are so high, you’ll still be paying a premium—and mostly for things that aren’t fit for everyday. There’s a communal fitting room, and the staff notified us that they’ll be restocking what they can, but there will likely be no further discounts.
