Would you know how to choose right lingerie that flatters your face and figure?
1. For small breasts, a style with a bit of padding can give your natural breasts a boost. Another strategy is to call attention to your legs by wearing a baby doll style that’s cut high on the leg or a thong bottom.
2. If you have short legs, you must want to choose lingerie that gives the illusion of leg length. The style of a high cut leg will help your to maximize the height of the legs. A short chemise that hits high on the leg can be effective or a pair of high cut tap pants can be flattering on some women. For the more daring, a skimpy thong can make the legs look long and slim.
3. If you have large thighs, it’s best to choose negligee or baby doll style that has some fullness in the skirt to make the legs appear less full. Avoid selecting styles that fit tightly against the lower half of the body. You can draw attention away from plump thighs by emphasizing the upper half of your body with a style that has a bustier or other breast enhancing detail.
4. If you have a plump tummy, it can be disguised by wearing lingerie in a dark, opaque fabric that covers the tummy. Stay away from light colored, sheer lingerie that exposes the stomach area. You can draw attention away from your tummy by emphasizing other areas of your body. If your have a nice bust line and shoulders, call attention away from the tummy area by emphasizing the upper half of your body. Wearing a two toned chemise with a light color on top and a darker color on the lower half can help to draw the eyes upward. Adding a pretty necklace will also call attention to the upper half of your body. A bustier style may also be flattering if you have a well developed bust.
5. Consider color. If you have blonde or lighter colored hair, pretty pastel pinks and baby blues will look lovely on you, while brunettes can handle the stronger richer maroons and bright primary colors. (Keep in mind that bright colors can make a plump body look larger, while darker colors tend to give the illusion of a smaller size). Red heads look fantastic in greens and rich russet shades.

Strapless Bras
This style alway be worn beneath strapless dresses. You’d better try on bras before buying. When trying on a strapless bra, raise your arms straight overhead to make sure it doesn’t slip down. The bra should be supportive and fit comfortably around your torso without being tight.

The bikini or two piece is a women’s swimsuit with two parts, one covering the breasts, the other the groinis. It is often worn in hot weather, while swimming or sunning. Besides a bikini is often worn as an undergarment to the wetsuit for waterskiing, scuba diving, surfing, and wakeboarding. And it is perhaps the most popular female beachwear around the globe.
Bikini tops come in several different styles and cuts, including a halter-style neck that offers more coverage and support, a strapless bandeau, a rectangular strip of fabric covering the breasts that minimizes large breasts, a top with cups similar to a push-up bra, and the more traditional triangle cups that lift and shape the breasts. Bikini bottoms vary in style and cut and in the amount of coverage they offer, coverage ranging anywhere from complete underwear-style coverage, as in the case of more modest bottom pieces like briefs, shorts, or briefs with a small skirt-panel attached, to almost full exposure, as in the case of the thong bikini. Skimpier styles have narrow sides, including V-cut (in front), French cut (with high-cut sides) and low-cut string (with string sides). In just one major fashion show in 1985 were two-piece suits with cropped tank tops instead of the usual skimpy bandeaux, suits that are bikinis in front and one-piece in back, suspender straps, ruffles, and daring, navel-baring cutouts. Subsequent variations on the theme include the monokini, tankini, string bikini, thong, slingshot, minimini, teardrop, and micro.
The term men’s bikini is used to describe types of men’s swimsuits, men’s underwear, or similar garments. Men’s bikinis can have both high or low side panels, string sides or tie sides, and most lack a button or flap front. Suits are less common for sporting purposes and are most often worn for recreation, fashion, and sun tanning. Traditionally in the past, general society did not accept men wearing bikinis at public beaches or swimming pools. However, as with the women’s liberty movement, it is becoming more accepted for men to wear more revealing swimsuits at public locations. Men can now be seen wearing bikinis, thongs, and g-strings at pools and beaches throughout the world; however, it is still less popular in the United States than in Europe where men have been wearing bikinis for decades. Bikini tops for men are seen as an amusement factor.

A corset is a female undergarment used to minimize the waistline and accentuate the breasts. An historical garment readily worn in the 18th and 19th centuries, the corset in modern times is worn with wedding attire or as lingerie.
Here are a few guidelines for purchasing an authentic corset.
1. Consider how often you will be wearing the corset. If you plan to wear one daily, avoid tight-laced items which constrict your waist (and breathing!) For occasional wear, a waist-cincher is ideal, such as an hourglass shape.
2. Shop for a corset based upon your need and style. If a corset is used as an undergarment for a wedding dress, it should be comfortable and the details (ribbons, lace) should not interfere with the look of the dress. A corset as simple lingerie can be as ornate or plain as you desire. Corsets come in a variety of colors to match the existing lingerie you own.
3. Choose a corset that fits your body type. The materials used to make corsets affect how the corset wears. Corsets are available in many materials including: pvc, leather and satin. Satin corsets offer the customer a wide color palette. For the plus-size woman, leather offers a bit of stretch and can be more comfortable.
4. Corsets come in a range of prices. Decide on a corset that fits your budget.

A good bra will make your clothes fit better, ease back pain, and improve your overall appearance. Washing your bra by hand will ensure that it will hold up for a long time.
1. Make sure that your bathroom sink is clean and fill up the basin half way with cool water.
2. Push the bras down into the water to make sure that everything gets wet. Get a gentle soap made for delicate fabrics and rub it directly on the bra.
3. Then rub together the fabric parts of the bra that come nearest to your underarms, being careful not to bend or re-position the underwire.
4. Drain the water. Now, rinse each bra beneath cold running water. Ensure that all of the soap is rinsed away.
5. Do not wring a bra dry, let them drip dry. Hang them in your shower or over your bath tub to minimize mess.

An outfit’s success depends on its basic foundation. Without the right bra, your clothes will not fit correctly. Despite the importance of the right fit, most women buy ill-fitting bras. They often buy bras that are too small or too large, causing their outfits to look sloppy, and causing them to suffer from lack of support. To solve these problems, you should determine your size, and shop wisely for a good-fitting bra.
To get your correct bra band size. Wrap a measuring tape around your ribcage just below your breasts. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the ground to ensure the most accurate measurement. Round any fractional measurement number to the nearest whole number. If the number is even, add 4 inches. If the number is odd, add 5 inches. If you measured 32 inches, your band size would be 36 inches.
Your correct bra cup size is just as easy to find. Measure your cup size. Stand straight with your arms at your side. Wrap a measuring tape around your body at the fullest part of your bust. Keep the measuring tape parallel to the ground. If the number is a fraction, round to the nearest whole number.
If you are still unsure of your correct bra size, you can go to the lingerie store. Many lingerie departments or stores offer bra fittings as part of their customer service. Though you may have already determined your bra size, it doesn’t hurt to seek professional assistance. Your self-measured bra size might not match the brand’s measurements.

Many women are self-conscious about how they look in swimwear. Finding that perfect bathing suit that helps you look great on the beach can be a daunting task. Since women’s clothing sizes vary from company to company, it can be difficult to find the right size swimsuit. If you calculate your measurements, however, you can compare those to sizing charts to determine the right size. Wear a suitable swimwear can make you look good in and feel comfortable wearing.
First, determine your body shape. The following are some common body shapes for women. Pear: You are small-busted with an average-size waist and a large bottom. Hourglass: You are curvy with a large bust and bottom. Slender: You don’t have many curves. Athletic: You are toned and muscular. Tall: You have long legs and a long torso. Petite: You have short legs and/or a short torso.
Second, stand in front of a mirror, wearing only your underwear, with your feet flat on the floor. Measuring over your clothing can give you inaccurate measurements. Measure your chest around the fullest part of your bustline. Bend to the side to find your waist, then measure its circumference. Place one end of the measuring tape on your shoulder, then bring the tape down between your legs and up again to the same shoulder.

What you wear under your wedding gown can be as important as the gown itself, because the lingerie you wear underneath your wedding dress can make the difference between looking good and looking absolutely amazing on your wedding day. Flattering undergarments can make you look slimmer, boost your cleavage and make your gown appear more fitted. By looking at each part of your wedding gown from neckline to hemline, you can select the correct undergarments to wear.
Before you set out to find the perfect lingerie for your wedding day, consider the color of your wedding dress. The lingerie items you will need depend on the dress. If you are wearing stark white, pick stark white undergarments to match. If your dress is an ivory or champagne hue, nude or flesh-colored undergarments will work best. Try to find undergarments that are closest in color to your gown so that they will not show through. This is especially important if your gown is made of thin or translucent material.
Look carefully at the cut of the neckline of your dress. If you choose strapless wedding dress, you will not want to wear any form of lingerie with straps. If the gown is a halter, cross-strap or one strap, invest in lingerie with convertible straps so that you can position the straps to hide perfectly under the material of your gown.
Take note of how the dress fits from the stomach down. If the dress feels snug or looks tight around your stomach, wear a one-piece slimmer that is connected to the bra. This will slim your waistline and make the dress appear more fitted to your shape. If you have an hourglass figure, a one-piece slimmer can accentuate your curves. If the dress is fitted tight around your buttocks, consider thong-style underwear so you will have no lines visible through your dress.
If the dress appears too tight around your thigh area, which is often the case with mermaid wedding dresses and a line wedding dresses, purchase leg slimmers. These resemble spandex shorts and can be purchased as separate undergarments or incorporated into a one-piece slimmer.
