Many women, lingerie is about feeling sexy, but there is also a practical aspect to it. Sometimes comfort is the key determinant when you're picking out a bra or a slip to wear beneath a dress. Women might choose to wear lingerie for themselves or for their partner. Regardless of the reasons behind the choice, selecting lingerie is ultimately about the woman who is wearing it.
Pick according to your shape. Large busts, Asda Magazine recommends a nonpadded bra to conceal and smooth. They also recommend firming bodysuits or underdresses to lift and flatten fleshy areas when wearing a dress. If you want to flaunt your curves, try lingerie that enhances your shapely bust or round thighs. To lift small breasts, try on push-up bras or bras with extra padding.Try on panties, bras or negligees (depending on what you want) at each store to determine the best fit for the best price.Not all lingerie is created equal and certain fabrics involve a greater time commitment for washing and care. Silk and synthetic lingerie need to be dry-cleaned while lace and other delicate materials may need to be hand-washed. If you don't want to sign up for the added care, opt for easier-to-clean fabrics like cotton.Ask yourself about the goals behind your purchase. Are you buying a new bra for added support or seeking a little something sexy to wear on your Friday night date? If you want to feel sexy, think about what sexy means for you. Choose panties that fit and flatter your figure and shape, rather than what looks hot on the store mannequin.Dance around in the dressing room, and lean over and squat down. Does the bra pinch when you reach overhead or is it a comfortable fit? Are you buying something sexy to wear for your spouse and do you intend to wear the negligee during the evening before he sees it? A piece of lingerie that looks hot in the dressing room may not feel great on the dance floor, so give it a whirl before you buy it to see just how it moves with your body.
