Womens Lingerie : Lingerie Articles
Lingerie article, are you a little unsure or shy about what lingerie to buy. Below is an article that may answer some of your questions.
Good Girls Guide to Buying Lingerie by: Christine McClinden
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.
