Lingerie Shopping - Choosing the Right One For Your Figure

With the wide variety of lingerie styles in the market, some women get confused as to what item will look good and feel good on them. How do you know what lingerie suits you?

The answer is to know your body. What parts of your body would you want to show off? Which do you want to hide? Are you a bit flat on the chest? Do you have an hourglass or pear shape? Knowing your body can make it easier for you to buy the lingerie that fits you right.

Women with smaller chest size can choose a push up bra or a padded bra. These will give the illusion of a bigger bust size and a deeper cleavage. Gel bras also give the same effect as a push up bra with the cups filled with gel or liquid at the bottom. Demi bras that reveal the top half of your breasts are also perfect for women with small chest sizes.

For the more endowed lady, an underwire bra with molded cups offer better shaping for your breasts - preventing the saggy look. The underwires also give the support your girls need. Fuller figured women who are more conscious of their size can also wear a minimizer bra that reduces the appearance of your breasts up to a cup size smaller.

Panties that have a high-cut leg design give the illusion of longer legs, making it the perfect choice for petite women. Plus size women should take caution when wearing thongs or g-strings as it may show unwanted bulges. Instead, some seamless boyshorts will do the trick. If you have a short torso, choose low-rise panties that sit at the hip area.

If you want to create an hourglass shape, you can try wearing some girdles or corsets. To hide your tummy, babydolls shift the attention to your bosom. They are actually a sexy way to tease your man since it keeps some skin hidden from view.

Your height is also a factor when choosing a chemise - taller women can wear longer lengths while shorter women should wear shorter lingerie. The more legs you show, the taller you seem to look.

Know your best assets and what parts of your body you would want to conceal. Most of all pick lingerie that fits comfortably. Ill-fitting lingerie pieces won't flatter you - and may ruin your mood, too. Remember to buy one that is true to your size so you feel sexy while wearing them.

Buying lingerie that flatters you is no different from shopping for your clothes. It observes the same principle: what you wear should look good on you, feel comfortable against your body, and make you feel great about yourself. No matter what shape or height, there is always a lingerie item that fits your body and that boosts your confidence.
