You’re invited to participate in the Intimate Apparel Return Project. See for yourself whether or not the buying, wearing and returning of intimate apparel is an act of subversion, liberation or indulgence.

To participate, simply follow these steps:
1 – Go shopping for intimate apparel (be sure to check the return policy before making any purchases)
2 – Put on the intimate apparel and decide whether or not you’d like to photograph yourself in it
3 – Photograph yourself (or someone else) in the apparel you’ve chosen
4 – Return the apparel (don’t forget your original receipt)
5 – Submit your photograph in the intimate apparel and a copy of your receipt of return

If you want, your images will be posted on the Intimate Apparel Return Project blog (http://intmateapparelreturn.blogspot.com). Please include your contact information with your submission to the project.
