Here are some tips on looking great in your lingerie, whether you like corsets, babydolls, vinyl or leather!

1. Get yourself professionally sized. Go to a seamstress, or fine boutique and get yourself measured to be sure you are buying the right size for you. Also, remember with demi bras, go a cup size smaller to really pop those sister’s up! Knowing your size it going to make the difference between unsightly bulges and luscious enhancement.

2. Exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate! Having smooth silky skin is really the only accessory you need. Jewelry and heels are options, but silky skin is important. When you’re in a pinch, grab some honey and sugar from your pantry and mix them almost half and half. You want a thick paste. Wet your skin and then slather your honey/sugar mix on working in small circles. After you have rubbed every inch of yourself, let the shower get real steamy for a few minutes before you rinse off to allow the honey to seep in and moisturize your skin. You’ll be amazed at how soft and glowing your skin will look and feel!

3. Wear outfits that enhance your body shape. If you are pear shaped, wear babydolls that will flow over your curves without emphasizing them. If your legs are short, wear high cut thongs or french cut panties to give the illusion of longer legs. If you are stick straight with no curves, you’ll want something that flows and gives the illusion of a shape, and if you are voluptuous, you’ll want something a little more form fitting to show off your bodacious curves!

4. Keep up to date on your manicures and pedicures. Even if you never wear polish, make sure your nails are buffed out to a nice shine and that they are nicely trimmed. If your polish is chipping, take it off! That’s a personal pet peeve of mine, a little chipping is okay, but when you see more nail than you do polish, it’s really time to do something about that.

5. Body hair control! Shave, wax, pluck, or at the very least, trim! No one wants to see your pubes poking through the sides of your panties.

After you’ve addressed these five tips, whatever you put on is going to look great! Bra and panties do not have to match to look sexy, but try to keep them in the same fabric or color genre’ so they’ll compliment each other. Have fun and go outside your normal box when you shop for your lingerie next time! Better yet, ask your lover or best friend to pick some things out for you. You’ll be amazed at styles you never knew would look good on you until you try something that someone else picks out.
