Good Girls Guide to Buying Lingerie
With the popularity of Lingerie boutiques in shopping malls
across America the stigma of buying and wearing lingerie is now
a thing of the past. However for women who've never bought
lingerie before or are still a little shy about visiting a store
here's our guide for styles you are likely to encounter.
Baby Doll Set A baby doll set encompasses a large category of
lingerie items. Basically it's a two piece set, consisting of a
robe or loose billowy top and matching bottom. The top is always
loose fitting and comes in just below the bust line, like an
empire bodice. The top is very loose fitting and short, ending
at or just below your rear. Baby doll sets are available in wide
variety of fabrics from silk and satin to sheer lace.
Chemise A chemise is a short flowing A-line gown that's longer
than a baby doll. The top usually has spaghetti or halter
straps. The angular shape of a chemise looks good on almost
every figure type. If you are concerned about your mid-section
look for a style that has built in figure control. Sometimes a
chemise comes with a matching bottom, but this varies from style
to style. The fabric choices range from patterned and solid
silks to very revealing lace, so there is something for
everyone's taste.
Camisole A camisole is female undershirt. It is loose fitting
and has thin spaghetti straps that go over the shoulder. It's
usually paired with a matching bottom. Camisoles are now also
available as outwear. While they are not usually worn as formal
office attire, they can be worn for casual occasions.
Corset A corset is the opposite of a camisole. It's a structured
garment that has bones or ribs to force your body into certain
proportions. The effects of a corset can be very dramatic, and
can create a very enticing curvy shape. Some corsets are more
difficult to wear than others, depending on how much shaping
they are doing. If you've never worn one before choose something
that's not so difficult to get into. Corsets are also now being
made as outwear. While not something you would wear to the
office, they are perfect for a dinner party, club or night on
the town.
Bridal Set A bridal set or merry widow as it's sometimes known
also covers a wide variety of items. Basically it's a set that
consists of a bra,
corset or camisole top. It also has matching
panties, and usually a garter belt and stockings. The styles
range from silk or satin sets with full coverage to skimpy
string sets with very minimal overage.
Boy Shorts If you've never heard of boy shorts think of sexy hot
pants for your bedroom. They offer full coverage on the sides
and some coverage on your rear. Conservative styles cover most
if not all of your rear, the more daring styles give you partial
coverage. Boy shorts are figure hugging or shaping, something
those of us with less than perfect bodies will appreciate. They
come in wide variety of fabric choices from comfortable cotton
to see through lace.
Bikini Bikini bottoms offer full coverage on your rear, and have
thin straps on the side. They are available in loose fitting of
figure hugging styles in a wide variety of fabric choices.
Thong A thong offers full to minimal coverage in the front, and
has thin sides usually 1" to ½" in width that come to a t shape
in the rear. The t-shape gives you practically no coverage on
your rear. Thongs are now worn just as frequently outside of the
bedroom as they are in it. If you are wearing tight, or figure
hugging clothing a thong is your best solution to combat visible
panty line. Cotton, lycra or micro-fiber fabrics are the most
comfortable for extended wear thongs.
G-String While the back of a thong has very minimal coverage
with a narrow strip a g-string offers you no coverage, with a
simple single strand or string, usually 1/8" or less in width,
not for the faint of heart.
Garter Belt A garter belt is made of piece of fabric that wraps
around your hips and usually has four straps (one for the front
and back of each leg). Sometimes the straps are attached to the
lower edge of a corset or camisole top. These straps attach to
the top of stockings, holding them up. The proper way to wear a
garter belt is to attach the stockings first, then put on your
panties. While this may look strange you'll understand why the
first time you need to visit the bathroom.
