SIZE
The next thing you need
to know is her size. We offer all the sizes - from the standard Small,
Medium, Large and Extra Large (XL) to the Plus sizes ranging from 1X to
4X. These sizes are for the clothes sizes such as panties, sleepwear,
garters, hosiery and fantasy wear. At www.lingerie-confidential.co.uk
we offer a 'Made to Measure' range. For more information please email
me at andrea@lingerie-confidential.co.uk
Bra sizes are totally
different.
If you are buying for someone
else (such as wife or girlfriend) we suggest you look at the bras they
already have. Disregard the ones that are worn out or stretched out of
shape. Look at the ones that are in good shape. Jot down the size and
go from there.
Ideally it is better to
measure exact requirement before ordering a bra. When measuring for bras,
you are measuring for width and cup size. Width is measured in inches
and cups are in a letter size.
A leading bra manufacture
suggests the following method to ascertain exact measurements: -
Put on your best fitting
bra. Loop the tape measure under your armpits and above your breasts.
The tape should be snug, but not tight. The resulting measurement is the
size of your torso. Then, lower the tape measure so it reaches around
the fullest part of your breasts. Subtract the size of your torso from
this measurement and consult the table below to determine your cup size.
- A - up to 1"
- B - up to 2"
- C - up to 3"
- D - up to 4"
- DD - up to 5"
If the breasts in question
are not your own please obtain full permission and cooperation of the
owner. Failure to do so may result in an immediate visit to the nearest
emergency room.
COLOUR
Colour is pretty much a
matter of personal preference. If you're still unsure, here are a few
tips that might help:

Blonde's
- black and all shades of blue look great. |

Brunettes
- two most natural colours are white and red. |

Hair colour is only one
way of choosing colour but consider skin colour and tone as well. If you
would like any assistance please feel free to email me at andrea@lingerie-confidential.co.uk
The most important factor
in choosing colour is personal taste. If red sends you wild then it's
the colour red that you want! If you think the sexiest colour is black,
go and get it! Lingerie as a gift is meant to be a very personal message
between you and the person you are buying the gift for.
THE TYPE
OF WOMAN YOU ARE BUYING FOR
Now that you know her size
and have picked out a colour, the next thing you need to do is choose
what type of lingerie you are going to buy. In order to this, consider
the type of person she is first. When you buy lingerie, you are buying
for the BOTH of you, not just for you. So you have to figure out what
will also be comfortable for her. And I'm not just meaning comfortable
in that it fits right. What I mean will she also enjoy wearing it? To
do this, keep in mind her preferences, body shape, personality and her
best outstanding features. Here are some things to consider:
What is her bedroom like?
Is she the submissive type, maybe even shy? You may want to try something
to reflect her personality. Or is her bedroom very seductive? Is she the
type of person who likes to try new things? If so, then buy something
that she wouldn't normally buy herself, such as leather lingerie or something
from the fantasy range. Sometimes someone who is submissive is willing
to try new things, so maybe try the total opposite of what she's normally
wears to bed.
UNDERGARMENTS
Just because you can't see
it doesn't mean it won't make her feel sexy. Women absolutely love to
wear sexy, frilly, satiny bras and panties under their clothes, even though
you may not know that she's wearing it. Women go by touch, whereas men
go by visuals. Also, if you are going to buy her a bra, make sure you
get the matching panties to go with it. So when choosing undergarments,
make sure they are something that will make HER feel sexy, and
something you will enjoy looking at as she's undressing.
