Tips for selecting lingerie as a gift

Size. How to get the right size? The easiest way is to just ask, but if it is a surprise, that is not always appropriate. If you know her dress size, that's generally a good rule of thumb to follow. If you are able to and you don't think she would mind the invasion of her privacy, you can always check her lingerie drawers or closet for sizes, although the webmistress does not advocate this method.

Fit. All woman have varying body styles. A small breasted woman may be sensitive to it, so padding in the bodice may be something to consider. Fuller sized women might welcome more supportive styles, with no padding. When considering her hips..be careful here, a tight fitting corset or waist cincher style may look good, but can actually accentuate the hips making them appear out of proportion, use your best judgement here.

Consider her bedroom personality and choose an outfit that matches it. Is she submissive, dominant or somewhere in between? Does she flaunt her sexuality like a vamp or is she more clever, seducing you into her web? Consider something such as a corset set

Another good way to find out what she would like and wear is BOTH of you sit down and look at a catalog of lingerie together. Ask her what she likes or what she would like to have. Find out if she would consider wearing something that you choose. Remember that you're buying a gift for both of you and keep in mind her preferences, personality, body shape and outstanding physical features when choosing a lingerie outfit that she's going to wear.

If she's comfortable trying new things, go in the opposite direction of her normal bedroom personality. For example, if she's normally submissive, go with naughty leather lingerie , or costume lingerie

Color is largely a matter of personal preference and that outweighs any advice anyone can give you, but as a general guide, here are a few tips:

The most important element in choosing color is personal taste. If the color red drives you wild, then it's the color red that you want! Men usually prefer red more so than women though. If you think that black is the sexiest color, get it. A gift of lingerie is a very personal gift that only the two of you need appreciate.

Blondes look great in the color black and in all shades of blue.

Redheads are stunning in all shades of green including teal, and usually also look great in pinks and other pastel tones.

Brunettes are a natural in both white and red, and sometimes even black, depending on skin tone.

Hair color is only the starting point for choosing color. Skin color and tone is also an important factor.
