Lingerie to Make your Figure Look Fantastic: No Matter What Figure Type you Have

Many of us woman, myself included, have that instant love affair with lingerie as soon as we see it on the mannequin. Then, suddenly, we picture ourselves looking devilishly irresistible, romancing our man with just a single look. Of course, we scoop the lingerie up in a mad dash to the counter; slip the cashier our Visa and jet home, slamming the bathroom door shut. We hold off on looking at ourselves in the mirror until we have the fit “just right” then . . . we gaze upwards slowly only to realize what looked amazing on the mannequin doesn’t do us as much justice . . . at all.

So with this experience in mind, many of us have learned the hard way that lingerie is one of those items that requires a bit of thought, not just simple impulse. As the old saying goes, why we may always “want what we don’t have” and secretly long for another body type, in the end, we must learn to love our bodies while also learning how to dress them.

So what fit looks best on your body type? Read on to find out . . .

The Boyish Figure
Create curves with a tight corset top and a garter skirt. The fitted waist of the corset and the fit of a garter skirt, failing away from your hips, will create the illusion of a curvier silhouette perfect for a night of romance he will never forget. For an extra ounce of oomph, pair your look with thigh high stockings. There is just something about these that men cannot resist - no matter how hard they try.

Long and Lean
Flatter a long, lean figure with a feminine baby doll top and ruffle bottom panty. The combination of a high empire waistline is very figure flattering for the vertically endowed woman and delicate, feminine touches create a graceful silhouette that is sure to make any man fall in love with one glance.

The Curvy Cutie
Form-fitting slip lingerie is the perfect look for any curvy woman. The way the garment hugs the body creates phenomenal contrast between the changing shapes of the woman’s silhouette. Pair this look with strappy, stiletto sandals for a super, sultry, right out of Maxim look.

The Full Figured Fox
Far too often we run across women who think that they as full figured women can’t bear a little skin. We say full figures are downright foxy! So step out of your shell and slip into something that will not only boost your sex appeal but also your self-confidence. Shapewear lingerie is the perfect way to nix that age old question in the back of your mind - “How do I look?” – Because, honey, you will KNOW you look irresistible! Opt for a sexy garter panty with thigh high stockings, a pair of killer heels and form fitting corset or slip dress sure to make your man go gaga!

Spend some time in front of the mirror only allowing yourself to focus on the things you love about your body. If you feel uncomfortable in sexy lingerie, buy some to wear when you are alone. Walk around in it, cook dinner in it – until you are comfortable with it and then one day, you’ll walk the mirror, give yourself a double take and realize just how lucky that man of yours is! Most of all, remember, that no matter what you wear . . . Confidence is the sexiest thing you can put on!
