Tips for Lingerie Shopping
Every woman's body is individual. That's why lingerie has so many different designs. To assist you in
finding your best choice, look through our simple guide for finding lingerie that covers-up the areas of your
body you are less happy with.
Small Breasts
Choose high-cut bottoms to draw attention away from the breast area. Breast-emphasizing tops like
push-up bras with padded cups, teddies, triangle-shaped bras (tops that tie or hook behind the neck) or
baby-dolls create an illusion of curves.
Try lingerie with ruffle, lace and non sheer bras with trim. If you are thin consider wearing garters. It will
highlight and define your waist.
See our Bras/Corselets
Large Breasts
Under-wired garments or triangle-shaped bras give additional support and create cleavage. (But: Avoid any
halter tops if your shoulders are wider than the hips!)
Look for Spandex and Lycra stretch materials that can adjust and flatten your breasts.
Choose the top with over the shoulder straps.
See our Bras/ Plus-size Lingerie Collection
Large Bottom/ Hips
A long loose gown with a sheer top would draw the eye upward. Choose straight-cut garments. Snug styles
will only emphasize the flaws of your lower body.
Darker shades on the bottom and lighter shades on top balance hip and shoulder width.
Go for uderwire and push-up designs.
Trim detailing can add a more defined waist area.
Look for high-cut bottoms -- the hips or legs will seem longer.
Halter tops visually widen the shoulders.
See our Plus-size Lingerie Collection
Tummy Troubles
Look for loose-fitting styles (camisoles, baby dolls) in the waist.
Use jewellery to draw attention to other parts of your body.
A corset can create a slimmer look.
Use fancy thongs, panties, or cleavage-enhancing bras to bring eyes to more attractive areas.
(Note: Vertical lines create the illusion of height. Horizontal lines give a wider look.)
Regardless of your height or weight you can find the perfect fit! Spend time while choosing your right size
and style. It is definitely worth the time.
Color
While choosing lingerie see how lingerie colors tone with your individual hair and skin colors. Let your
individual preference and taste guide you. And remember one golden rule. Wear nude lingerie under tight
white or light coloured clothes. No other colors are suitable!
| Men's Guide to Lingerie Lingerie is truly among one of the most romantic gifts that a man can offer to the lady in his life, Lingerie says to her that she is both sexy and desired by you. But take note, giving a gift of lingerie also makes a not so subtle statement to her that you wish to see her model this sexy item for you, and in an intimate setting. First of all, be sure your relationship has progressed to the point that she will enjoy modeling this sexy garment for you. If you are not yet intimate with her, she may feel you are using this gift to push her into bed with you, and therefore my resent this gift. Consider how this piece of lingerie will make her feel. As a rule overweight women will feel far sexier in a babydoll garment than she will in a teddy. Notice the sorts of outer garments that she normally wears. If she is comfortable wearing bare mid-riff tops and shorts she likely is far more comfortable with her appearance than a lady who always wears clothing that flatters her figure while minimizing the appearance of her weight. You may apply similar considerations if you think she may be sensitive about her height, of her chest, hips, legs or her butt. Common sense will tell you that if she is proud to show off her cleavage in public, your gift of lingerie should flatter her chest. If she normally does not dress to flatter her chest find a piece of lingerie with less emphasis on her bust. Women who wear tight jeans are usually ok with the appearance of their butt while ladies who wear loose fitting skirts, dresses, or let their shirt tails hang, while in a leisure dress situation, may be trying to lessen the emphasis on her fanny. Pick out a sexy piece of lingerie that has a little skirt attached, she will feel so much more at ease in it. Even a sheer fabric that hangs to mid leg will feel far more flattering to a lady who feels her legs are too long than will a french-cut panty that will add inches to her leg's appearance. The reverse works well if she feels her legs are too short. |
Remember, it is too late to shop for Lingerie after the lights go out!

A Man's Guide for Gifts of Lingerie
Seek Out Her Size
Before you shop, get into her drawers. Sneak a peak at her panty and bra sizes A word of
caution, however: Bra sizes are highly variable, and even women have trouble with them. If you
feel unsure, start with a less confusing article-say an item that comes in small, medium and
large, or extra large. A chemise (a short nightie) can be very forgiving, says Lindkrantz. Ditto for
camisoles and robes. Resist the temptation to adjust her size to suit your fantasies. No matter
how hard you wish for it, buying a C cup won't make her B's any bigger. Likewise, avoid trying to
flatter her with underwear in a medium size if she really is a large; there's no sensation less sexy
than wearing a tournaquet-tight G-string.
Make Sure It's Not Complicated or Crass
Some of the wilder stuff may look fun but can be tricky and uncomfortable to wear. Merry widows
and corsets will definately make her cups runneth over, but they take a long time to lace up,
hard to get out of, and can constrict breathing. Garters are alluring but have to be unsnapped
to remove panties, or worn with crotchless panties. And while we're on that subject.... most
lingerie comes in naughtie and nice versions. Crotchless panties, however, are the single
entendre of slutwear. There's no way to pretend they're anything than what they are; a free
pass to the tunnel of love. Be absolutely certain that the woman will not be offended.
Present the Gift with a Flourish
If you have even the slightest concern that she'll be underwhelmed by a racy gift, make it part of
a bigger package-like a bed and breakfast weekend getaway, suggests Lindkrantz. For
Valentines Day, which ranks right after the December holidays as the biggest time for lingerie
sales, sexy is expected, but is still a good time to mix in a little romance. (Flowers, Dinner Out) to
be clear that your gift means more than just, "you're my favorite ho." Presentation is important;
you can't just hand her the bag or an unwrapped box (which translates as: "here put this on, I'm
ready") If you're going to go to all the trouble of buying a silk nothing, make sure it looks like
something. Most stores will help you follow through with gift-wrapping service and a card.
