From hold-ups to push-ups, Pretty Polly has long been a trail-blazer in the hosiery and underwear industry - and once employed 1,000 people at its former factory in Notts.
This year the company celebrates its centenary and with it, 100 years of legs and celebs.
Famous faces such as Eva Herzigova, Laura Bailey, Sara Cox, Rachel Stevens, and Nottingham-based Sam Barnett have all represented the brand on TV and in print - as well as a fresh-faced Holly Willoughby in a wonderfully 90s advert in which she screams "I am a sex goddess".

The launch coincides with Pretty Polly’s plans to set itself as “the leg experts” and reposition itself as a brand consumers can turn to for everything to do with legs.
