In June 2005, the Ministry of Labor announced a timetable for employing Saudi women in shops selling women's clothing, underwear and other such items. It stipulated that all lingerie shops in the Kingdom must employ only Saudi women within the next two years.
According to a recent study, there are 247 lingerie in Jeddah - mostly managed by men.
