Article for Women Issues

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 ฝ” 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.
