Too often, women pass up the chance to wear lingerie because they feel that their body isn’t right for it. This simply isn’t true, as there is lingerie for every shape and size. The key is knowing how to accentuate parts of the body and redefine others. Here is a simple guide to help you decide what lingerie fits your body best.

Big on Top: Busty

The most important thing to recollect when wearing lingerie if you’re busty is support! Even if you don’t want to show off your top, make sure you’re wearing something with underwire or pads for support. Corsets and bustiers accentuate your upper body by making it appear full and firm.

Pear Shaped: Fuller on the Bottom

If you have wider hips and a smaller upper body, your goal is to make yourself appear more even. Pick a bra with padding and lots of boost to create the illusion of fuller breasts. Stay away from bland colors and instead opt for lace, embroidery, and bright designs. As for the bottom, most pear shaped women attempt to conceal their lower half, but all this does is make it appear fuller. Choose a brief style panty with a high cut to make your legs appear longer. A high waist also slims your hips and gives you more of a proportioned shape.

Athletic: Lean, Defined, and Muscular

Lean, athletic bodies can take advantage of the wide range of frills, ruffles, and eye catching designs that lingerie sellers offer. Bras with bows and bright embroidery are good for this shape; attempt ones that have flashy or unique straps. Stay away from strapless bras or tops that have no curved shapes. Contrasting bottoms in boybrief or brief style add curves, while thongs and g-strings will only make everything appear flatter.

Petite

For petite bodies, less is more. Lots of fabric and designs can make smaller bodies seem crowded and bulky. Matching tops and bottoms create a balance, and a simple strapless bra is flattering on petite shapes. Avoid bulky corsets or intricate bottoms, as they can make you appear shorter or stockier.

Wanting to start a new business, but not a too compromising one, Donna DiFelice decided to turn into the internet for help. She found her answer in the internet; open a lingerie web site. “I decided that [the Internet] was the best business for me,” she explained. Lingerie Shelf ( www.LingerieShelf.com ) is the name of the website, and it offers quality lingerie at reasonable and affordable prices. Making her own hours hasn't stopped Donna from working overtime on her new store, selecting her products carefully. "I looked at numerous vendors," she says, "and I narrowed it down and tried to find something that I could relate to. I think people shopping on the web want to find variety, not one or two products; they don't want to go to a lot of different web sites to get a couple of items."

Donna focuses her energy on helping her clientele by opening a blog at www.LingerieShelf.net to better get to know her customers. "I want to communicate that I participate in the business, even though you can't see me," says Donna. "I am here, and their satisfaction is my priority. I want to talk about my products, but I also want feedback from people who have used the products. They should know that I'm not just a faceless person -- I am somebody that cares that they are sized correctly and that they're happy with the product."

In the future, Donna hopes to expand her catalog, as well as branching out with other web sites offering alternate product lines.

Love is in the air as February 14th quickly approaches, better to purchase early than wind up with supermarket flowers.  Alongside those flowers or something more subdued, lingerie can be a awesome gift to raise the heat in a relationship.  For men purchasing lingerie can be tricky and in this post I will attempt to give you advice and tips for choosing the right type and style.  Women too, can give the gift of lingerie and simply wear it as a gift.  Depending on your combined tastes you will want to select from one of the following styles

 

. Baby Dolls - Baby dolls are made of sheer fabric, and consist of shaped bra cups with an attached loose-fitting skirt that comes down to anywhere between the navel and the hips. They generally have matching panties.  Baby Dolls are the staple lingerie item.  When most people think about lingerie they are most likely thinking about this style.  Longer less sheer baby dolls are perfect for the woman who is looking for a little more coverage, while the sheer and brief styles work awesome for the uninhibited.  Baby dolls look especially good on women with larger busts.

Body stockings - A body stocking is a one-piece snug-fitting undergarment for women, generally made of nylon that covers the entire torso.  These can be a little hard to get in and out of, which you may find to be fun or to be a chore, you may just wind up tearing it off anyway.  Unless you have done the lingerie thing with your partner a bunch of times, however, I would not recommend this style.

Bustiers -A bustier is a sleeveless woman’s top, generally strapless, that hangs from under the breasts to the waist. sexy bustiers can be worn as either evening wear, or as lingerie.  The bustier helps you achieve that desirable hourglass shape. It tightens the waist and lifts the breasts. With a matching panty you have a hot setup for the evening.

Corset - A corset is a foundation garment which is stiffened, generally with bone, possibly elasticized, and laced in the back. Much like the bustier, it is designed to lift and support the breasts and reduce the size of the waist, but since it is stiffer and generally laces up it is able to take this to the next level. It may also have attachments at the bottom to hold up stockings.

Camisoles - A camisole is a woman’s undergarment with shoulder straps that covers the bust and hangs down to the waist, either tight-fitting or loose. A Camisole generally shows the belly area so it is perfect for women whose stomach is one of her best features.

Teddies - The teddy is much like a one piece bathing suit.  Or you could think of it as a one-piece undergarment, consisting of a chemise and panties combined.  Like in swimwear there is a lot of variation with some of these one pieces having the sides cut out.  Teddys provide good coverage but should be avoided by brief women who may find it hard to find the right size which will cause it to ruffle.

Limited Brands Inc. has expanded the average Victoria’s Secret store by nearly 50% and the stores look gorgeous. But the news is not all good for the Angel maker.  A changes to the distribution middle for Victoria’s Secret catalogue and online ecommerce site has been plagued with problems, leading to shipping delays during the third quarter. The problems caused Victoria’s Secret to cut its catalogue circulation for the Christmas season, a change the retailer says will “significantly” cut fourth-quarter sales. Limited said it now expects same-store sales to drop by a mid-single-digit percent during the fourth quarter, below its past prognosis of lean same-store sales.

It will be interesting to see what happens next but the stores are awesome and they will probably make a big turnaround.  Here are some pics from the updated store at Fashion Centre at Pentagon City in Arlington VA.

As you can see here the store has expanded from the size of basically two normal mall stores to the size of 4. With one entire store being dedicated just to “Pink” items. The store is the size of a small Marshalls.

 

New and shiny!
