Lingerie makes a woman feel sexy and feminine. There are a vast array of styles and patterns from the most risque to the more discreet. If you are looking for sexy Asian lingerie, you have a lot of delicate and delicious varieties to choose from.

Origins of Lingerie

Lingerie as a sexually appealing undergarment began during the nineteenth century. Prior to that, undergarments were purely for practical uses. Undergarments were designed for style and protection. They were to enhance the female figure, no matter how uncomfortable they may be. Lady Duff-Gordon of Lucille changed all that.

As a pioneer in creating lingerie, Lady Duff-Gordon developed lingerie to free women from restrictive corsets. During the early 20th century, underwear were basically worn for three main reasons: alter the shape with the use of corsets, girdles and bras, for hygienic purposes and for modesty.

Throughout the nineteenth century, undergarments gradually became smaller and less bulky. As women began taking on jobs traditionally thought of as man’s work, the demand for more practical underwear was created. Manufacturers started using lighter materials and making panties smaller to fit better under clothing. Working women were no longer wearing layers of petticoats, so smaller undergarments were needed.

By the 1960s, lingerie manufacturers brought lingerie to the forefront and began glamorizing sleek and sexy undergarments. As the industry progressed and new lingerie designs became increasingly appealing, women didn’t want to hide these fabulous creations any longer and began wearing lingerie as outer wear.

Styles

Designers are putting greater emphasis on rich-looking silk fabrics, delicate lace designs, exotic embroideries and vibrant, daring colors. The baby doll is one of the most popular styles of lingerie. The modest little nightie looks great on women of all shapes and sizes. It is not too revealing, but alluring enough to heat up any bedroom.

Lingerie is either sexy or comfortable, rarely is one design both.

• Bloomers are puffy underpants designed more for comfort than fashion
• Bodystockings are often used as outwear or with a sheer dress over top
• The bodysuit is very similar to the bodystocking and used in the same manner
• A bodice covers the body from neck to waist, designed to sculpt your shape
• Camisole is a cute little top that looks and feels great, too
• The French Maid is strictly used in fantasy play.

Lingerie shopping (as opposed to underwear shopping, which is just grabbing your everyday undergarments) is supposed to be fun. It’s an indulgence and a chance to make yourself feel attractive. Too often though it turns into a miserable experience as you find the articles don’t fit.

Whether shopping in the real world, or online, the trick is to get accurate measurements before you start so that you can see whether something that catches your eye is available in your size before you go any further.

How to measure yourself
Stand in front of a mirror with a cloth tape measure. Take the tape measure firmly around your chest just under, or at the crease, behind your breasts. It should be horizontal around your back and firm, but not overly taut. Note this measurement down in inches. If the measurement number is even, add 4 — that is your band size. If the number is odd, add 5 and that is your band size.

Now repeat and measure this time around the fullest part of your bust. Again keep the tape firm, but not tight.

If the measurement is the same as the first measurement, you are an A cup. If the measurement is:
1″ greater then your are a B cup.
2″ greater then your are a C cup.
3″ greater then your are a D cup.
4″ greater then your are a DD/E cup.
5″ greater then your are a F cup
and so on.

Manufacturers’ Sizing
We’re all sorted then? No, wait, come back! Nothing is ever that simple, because you will find that different manufacturers have different sizes for their lingerie, especially if you get to the larger sizes and plus size lingerie. Some include delicate, but not particularly useful terminology such as “Queen Size”.

Try and find the website for the manufacturer of the lingerie you are looking at, and hopefully they will have a sizing guide that fits your measurements to their sizes. It has to be said that some manufacturers are not particularly helpful, and even if they do have a sizing guide, it’s hidden away.

Romantic evening with your beloved… You’ve been planning it for ages- food, wine, candles, music… There’s just one more thing to decide on- the right lingerie! Easy-peasy? It should be, in theory. You want to add sophistication and sparkle to the evening and make sure you feel just as fabulous as you look. He might not know the difference between a bustier and a corset, but he will definitely sense if you feel comfortable and confident, and we all have hang-ups, even if we don’t admit to them!

So how do you choose the right lingerie sets to flatter your figure and boost your confidence? Below are the main aspects you should consider:

Colour.

The right colour will enhance your natural beauty and not distract from it. You want to look healthy as opposed to washed out! Some colours can be worn by all, for example a pastel pink baby doll will look cute and flirty with any complexion!

You can also play around with two toned lingerie sets. If your bottom is a little heavy, a light coloured top coupled with a dark bottom will create this proportional, lean look with the main focus on breasts. To do this you should try mixing different bra and knicker sets.

If you’re not sure which colour to choose, go for black! You can’t go wrong with a black bustier, teddy or a baby doll. If your budget is tight, you can be sure that black will add luxury touch and feel to cheap lingerie.

Texture.

Feminine lace, sexy satin, sumptuous silk, flirty mesh or a mix of all- what is your fabric of preference? If you want lingerie that is forgiving to your imperfections, comfortable, sexy and feminine, you quickly realise that lace has it all! In lace nightwear, you can be completely “covered up”, but oh, so seductive!

If comfort and luxury feel are the most important factors, you should consider satin and silk. Silk is more expensive than satin and always associated with luxury lingerie, but both fabrics are very soft and will be a great choice for a sensual experience.Mesh is a versatile, very soft fabric and depending on its’ density, and the number of layers- it can be quite revealing or masking. In a mesh baby doll, teddy or a chemise you can be sure to feel comfortable and look flirty!

The majority of women possess what is known as a ‘fuller figure,’ yet flicking through fashion magazines or watching TV, one would think the fuller figure is something of a rarity as we’re presented with a plethora of stick-like super models bearing a figure we’re supposed to believe is normal. Another oddity in this celebrity ridden world is when we see a certain celebrity on a chat show or promoting a fashion brand and they look fantastic, however when some paparazzi photographer snaps them popping to the shop on a Thursday morning, they look like the rest of us; lumps in the wrong places, unkempt hair and makeup quickly applied with a trowel. I suspect that ‘photoshop’ has got something to do with it. One can easily make a person appear fuller or slimmer just as easily as they can digitally iron out the odd spot, blemish or wrinkle. But when it comes to looking great on live TV our celebrity starlets have another trick up their sleeve.

Actually to be more accurate the trick is up their frock and the trick is called shapewear. Thanks to recent advancements in fabric technology such as Miratex, the secret behind both the Miraclesuit range of ladies swimwear and Miraclesuit shapewear, those with a fuller figure can target the areas they want to flatten or enhance without compromising comfort. Garments which take advantage of the revolutionary Miratex fabric in the Miraclesuit shapewear range are each designed to flatten your tummy or enhance your buttocks, trim your thighs or nip in your waist for the perfect hourglass figure, or any combination of the above.
