The Belle Lingerie newsletter offers 10% off eligible full-price items on a first order. Already discounted pieces are excluded. The outlet is a separate way to shop last-chance lingerie and swimwear, and it rewards a more focused search than scrolling through the whole page.

For a last-chance bra, make sure your size is available in the precise version you want before you start hunting for the matching brief. That small check can save a second search later.

Search the outlet for a model you know before trying alternatives

The outlet includes ranges from brands such as Fantasie, Freya and Panache. If you already know a particular model, open the bra section and filter for your size. The name of the range is more useful than the brand on its own. If you find a different cut at a good price, read how its cups and straps are constructed before deciding whether it is a suitable replacement.

Set the a last-chance Fantasie bra listing aside until you know what you need for replacing a bra whose fit you already know. When you return to it, compare the complete model name, size and colour with the details for an outlet Freya or Panache bra. Check what you would actually receive with a last-chance Fantasie bra, including whether its advertised price covers one item or all the pieces shown with it.

Work around gaps in matching stock

A last-chance listing can still appear when only some sizes or colours remain. For an exact set, check the brief and bra independently before buying either. If the brief is unavailable, ask whether the bra would work with underwear you already own. If the answer is yes, you can choose the single item without spending extra to force a match in the wrong colour or cut.

Check what the swimwear picture includes

The outlet also covers swimwear. A top in the category picture may be a separate, so check whether the price covers the bottoms. Use the size guide for the exact top or swimsuit. If your first choice is unavailable, compare another cut or shade you’d still wear. Check returns and delivery for the selected item before committing when you need it for a particular date.

To choose between an outlet bikini top and an outlet swimsuit for getting a usable holiday outfit from the remaining stock, check the pieces included and the fit requirements of each garment before comparing their prices. Decide whether you need the version pictured on the an outlet bikini top listing or an alternative variant. For an outlet swimsuit, open the details rather than relying on where it appears in the catalogue. The feature you are looking for in an outlet bikini top may sit differently on an outlet swimsuit.

Check the live price of the item in your size and compare the total with the Belle Lingerie voucher listings outside the outlet. The outlet is most useful when the remaining stock includes a product you would have chosen anyway.
