How to Choose Lingerie: Fit, Fabric and Style
The best lingerie is the kind you feel confident in. These notes help you choose the fit and fabric before you order.
Know your measurements
Measure your bust, waist and hips and compare them to the size chart on the item. Sizing varies by brand, so check each chart.
Fabrics
Lace is delicate and a little stretchy. Mesh is sheer and light. Satin is smooth and drapes well. Stretch fabrics are the most forgiving.
Styles
Teddies and bodysuits are one piece. Bras, panties and sets let you mix. Corsets shape the body. Robes and chemises are the most relaxed.
Plus sizes
Many styles come in plus sizes. Look for the size range on each item.
Care
Hand wash lace and mesh in cool water and let them air dry.
