How to Buy Lingerie For Your Body Type
It's all set up. The kids will be spending the weekend with grandma while you and your husband have some romantic alone time. You go to your lingerie closet. You take out a few pieces and try them on. After three kids and 10 years of raising babies, your body has changed to the tune of 40 pounds. Your husband loves you no matter what, but you still want to look and feel sexy for him, and you will look and feel sexy for him.
- Assess yourself. Be honest, not self-criticizing. You have either gained or lost weight in all the wrong areas. It is okay. Just take note where and go from there. Take note of your good areas, also. Nice bustline? Nice broad hips? Pretty long legs? Tiny waist? Note the good parts to place emphasis on.
- Choose flattering colors. Remember that dark colors help take attention away from larger areas, and lighter colors give highlight to smaller areas. Two-tone lingerie pieces make great choices.
- Choose the right fabrics. Loose and flowing fabrics look great on smaller frames, while sturdier fabrics flatter larger frames.
- Look for the best structure. Pieces that help hold you in are great selections. Bustiers and corsets make wonderful gifts for you and your husband. You can wear it; he can help you take it off.
- Find the right look. Got a fat belly? Empire waist pieces will take the attention off of your belly and onto your bottom. Do you know why? You will be sporting a pair of boy shorts, which look great on anyone.
- Take your husband with you. Let him pick out some pieces. It's up to you if you want to let him watch as you try them on. Nah, make him wait. It will be worth it.
