Shopping Tips For Men
First off, the fact that you are even reading this is a great sign - not only are you splurging on your sweetheart (and let's face it, every girl loves a gift!) - but you actually want to get it right. The following tips will ensure you buy the perfect present.~
All About Her
Lingerie is one of those double whammy gifts - she gets something beautiful and sexy and you get to see her in it. But don't forget that to become that sex goddess you desire, she has to feel fabulous in the purchase in the first place - buy something that you think she would love, not just something you want her to wear. Don't know what this is? Think about what she wears already - if she prefers knee-length satin slips, she won't be thrilled with crotch-less panties and a leather corset. If she's demure, consider a babydoll or peignoir, for a diva with a more daring side a corset or something in shiny patent or vinyl might appeal.~
Shady Lady
Which hue will do? Once again think about the colors she usually wears - black is classic and flatters everyone. While you can't go wrong with this simple shade, you'll earn extra points if you choose something more avant garde. As a guide, blondes look great in pastel shades like pink and lilac, brunettes can pull of brighter hues like scarlet and red heads look sensational in greens (check out the models here on Hips and Curves.com for more ideas). Another safe bet: white looks pure on every skin tone and cream is always chic.~
Sizing Her Up
How do you find out her size? Ask her? No, no, no! You'd spoil the surprise (and let's hope this gift is a surprise!) and she would probably lie and say she's smaller than she really is anyway (it's a lady's prerogative!). Your best bet is by delving into her underwear drawer to check the labels of the lingerie she already owns - if this is out of limits sneak a peek in her jacket, dress or pants and refer to our sizing chart.
To decipher her bra size, check the label inside for an equal number like 38, 40, 42 followed by a letter or two like C, D, DD, E, etc after it - get the idea? The number is her bust measurement and the letter is her cup size - both are essential when buying bras, or bustiers.~
It's a Wrap!
Almost done... but as always, we're trying to make this as easy as possible, so remember to opt for our gift wrapping service, so she'll receive an exquisitely custom-wrapped gift complete with your personalized message and you won't have to lift a finger.~
