Question: What type of lingerie is best for me?
There are several styles that most flatter the womanly figure: Babydoll, Chemise, Corset and Bustier.
Babydolls and Chemise are similar styles. They are both short and fitted pieces of lingerie that are typically modest. To add a hint of mystery or seduction, you can choose a chiffon babydoll or chemise. They are perfect for a romantic evening, or a night of feeling pampered.Babydoll:
If you feel like flirting, a babydoll is the way to go. Babydolls are fitted in the bust with a full skirt. As a result, it’s important to get the bust size right when purchasing a babydoll. Sometimes babydolls have a stretch bodice that makes it easier to size for full figured women. Babydolls are well suited to women with a pear shape as they hug your curves on top and fall gently on your hips.
It should be said though that the Babydoll really does flatter every figure.
Chemise:
Chemise, on the other hand, accentuates and creates curves. When you want to feel luxurious, a beautiful silk or charmeuse chemise will feel soft on your skin and hug your curves. For more comfort, you can choose a stretch chemise and still be pampered.
Corsets and Bustiers:
Modern corsets are much more comfortable than corsets of yesteryear. They are elegant, form fitting, sexy, and provide the slimming effect and bust lifting that most women look for in lingerie. They flatter every figure.
Corsets and Bustiers are the daring women’s lingerie. They are very similar in style, as both are boned and fitted on the torso. They have a very slimming effect on your figure. The major difference between a corset and a bustier is that bustiers often have built in cups for support whereas corsets do not.Corsets and bustiers do not size the way clothes do, they size like a bra. You usually have a round the back measurement and a cup measurement, just like a bra but you are recommended to give yourself one size more around the back allowing for extra movement. The size noted for our corsets and bustiers is the band size, so if you where a 40DD, your bustier or corset size would be 40. If you want some extra room, you would order a 42.
