Picking The Right Lingerie for Your Gal
Ok Jim, you have convinced me that lingerie is a perfect gift
for my gal, but I don't know diddly squat about lingerie. How do
I know what she likes? How do I know what size she is? How do I
pick the right lingerie for my gal? (If I haven't convinced you,
you probably haven't read my article " Lingerie an Intimate Gift
for Two" also published here at Ezine)
Hey don't worry, I can help you, I am in the business. I will
teach you how to pick stunning outfits that fit your gals figure
and personality. Now you will find plenty of articles out there
that talk about choosing lingerie. They talk about different
types of lingerie, they may even talk about getting the right
size. I will tell how to do that, AND match her personality,
something many of these articles leave out.
Lets start with the basics. Size first. If you already know your
girls size you are way ahead of the game. If you are like most
guys, you don't have a clue. One method is to ask your lady's
mother, sister, or best friend. They most likely go shopping
together and already know each others sizes. "How do I ask a
question like that of my mother-in-law"? Well, you can phrase it
something like this "Mom (or whoever), I am trying to pick (your
gals name) up something special, but I need some information.
What size dress does she wear? What size are her bust? (you may
already know that, even if you don't know the rest) Is that
dress Size considered small, medium, large, x-large, xxl etc..?
What size shoes does she wear? " Write the answers down.
Another method and, I prefer this method because you get an idea
of her taste too, is to take your gal clothes shopping. "But I
never go shopping with her" just tell her you have something to
pick up too, and maybe you can go together. Then all you have to
do is take note of what she tries on. If you can't tell what
size outfits she tried on, just ask the clerk guarding the
dressing room while your gal is inside, or offer to pay for it
(you can always say your in a hurry to get out of there, she
will believe that) and look at the tags when you go to the
register.
"Ok, I have her sizes, now what"? We still need to know more
about her shape. This is very important. Lingerie is used to
highlight what she has, pretend she has something she doesn't or
hide something she doesn't like. Questions we have to answer
are:
*Does she have a big butt? If so, does she like it or hate it?
*Are her breast big, or small? If big, is she proud of them? Do
they droop?
*Does she have a big stomach? Does she have stretch marks? Does
she have great abbs?
*Does she have great legs, or is there a lot of cottage cheese?
*How do the back of her upper arms look?
*How about her neck, is it a turkey?
I know these are some tough questions, and some of you may be
laughing, but you have to ask yourself these question in order
to accomplish your mission. By the way, I DO NOT recommend
writing those questions down- you don't ever want her to find
that paper. Just keep them in mind as you look at lingerie. If
it's something she doesn't like, you are going to want something
that covers it, if it's something she is proud of, then you want
something that will show it off. If it's something she wishes
she had, you need something with padding, or pushup effect in
that area, or it just might need extra support if it has just
fallen.
"Ok, I have her sizes, and I know what she wants to hide or
show, now what?"
We still have to figure out what style fits her. Hopefully, if
you're buying lingerie for a gal, you know something about her.
Yep, you guessed it, more questions:
*How often does she wear dresses? -If often then we can look at
gowns or lacy things.
*Does she wear shorts a lot? If yes- Thongs and boy shorts are
options.
*Is she strictly a blue jeans and t-shirt girl?- If yes, then we
don't want anything too frilly.
*Does she like flashy or sparkling things? - If so, then a
sparkling material will be nice.
*Does she like wearing leather?- If so this open a wide range of
idea's
*What type of music does she like? - If rock, or punk- Look into
the leather or vinyl options, if Country, or rhythm and soul,
look into traditional types.
Now you should be armed with enough knowledge to go shopping...
