All Things UndiesLingerie Buying Guide 2024And Where To Find The Right Look
Isn’t shopping for regular clothes just the worst? The struggle of indecision and doubt is real when it comes to finding something that fits right, let alone lingerie! The sizing is all over the place (a small in one brand and XXL in another, seriously?). Trying to find something that looks and feels amazing can seem impossible. But guess what? It doesn’t have to be that way.
Introducing your new secret weapon: this ultimate guide to picking outfits that make you feel like the badass you are. I’ve spent years photographing all body sizes, and trust me, everyone’s insecurities are different. What works for you might not work for someone else, and that’s totally okay.
In this guide, you’ll find everything you need: styles that pair perfectly with different body shapes, my favorite go-to pieces, and where to snag them.

A List Of Lingerie Styles
Bra & Panty Sets
Shopping for sexy bra and panty sets? Oh, the options are endless! But let’s get real: fit is everything. You don’t want a push-up bra that makes you look like you’re auditioning for a role in a cartoon. Aim for a smooth look around the armpit and make sure you’re not spilling out of the cups. Trust me, you’ll look way more flattering on camera. So, ditch the ill-fitting lingerie and go for something that highlights your natural badassery.
Corsets
A corset is defined by the way it cinches you by pulling strings tight unlike a bustier that has a series of hooks down the back. A good corset can be wonderful for creating more of an hourglass shape. But the one big drawback of a corset is your mobility is greatly reduced
1 Piece / bodysuits
An outfit that looks good on every type of boy is the bodysuit. They come in many different sizes and can vary with the amount of support. If you have a larger bust avoid the large v-necklines and opt for a wire or seam for support.
Bustiers
Bustiers have a series of hooks down the back with minor adjustment to keep you all contained. They don’t shape your waist line quite like a corset but do allow for more movement than a corset. Many of these outfits also have garter attachments to class up a look
Bodystockings
You’ll typically find these outfits at sex shops in the box lingerie section. Usually you’ll only find these in one size (O-S) but they have quite a bit of stretch to them.. I advise not wearing anything underneath them but occasionally a contrasting colour for the underwear is the way to go. Matching black to black tends to look kinda meh.
Garter Belts & Stockings
A set of stockings with a garter is an easy way to take an outfit to the next level. Just note, there are two types of stockings. Stay ups and the kind you’ll need a garter for.
babydolls
It’s VERY rare that I tell someone to flat out avoid an outfit style but babydolls are THE WORST for a photo shoot. They NEVER accentuate anyone’s figure and the material bunches in very weh ways. Unless you really love that babydoll in your closet, leave it there.
Regular Clothes
Not all looks for a boudoir session need to be comprised of lingerie. Sometimes, a plain white tank top or sweater with a V-neck is all you need. The looks you choose should reflect what you find sexy not just lacy and frilly because that’s what you’d assume it has to be.
