One of the most exciting parts of planning your boudoir session is picking out your outfits!! Will you take a more sultry
approach? sexy? seductive? innocent? playful? or will you add a thematic? Whichever way(s) you choose to go, this
is the perfect occasion to go shopping!!!!! {gotta love it!}
As you begin your search, you will find there are many sources of intimate apparel: department stores, boutiques, and provocative shops. As there are also many types of lingerie: babydolls, sets, camisoles, chemise, nighties, slips, teddies, and many many more. I strongly recommend starting at the boutiques and maybe dabble in the big department stores that carry the higher-end brands. Determine the best type of lingerie that flatters your body type.
Here are three current examples of brands and some of their styles for this summer, maybe these will inspire you on your search.

Inspired by iconic Parisian fashion and crafted with a nod to European couturiers, the Victoria's Secret Designer
Collection for 2012 has a seductive and flirty feel. The ultra-feminine and timeless style flatters many body types. The
delicate babydoll (far left) offers a ruffle halter top with a great A-line, perfect for the curvy gal. The next, a balconet
bra and matching panty adds a flirty accent on the curves of a woman. The lace halter teddy in black is a perfect fit
for petite or really slim girls. The belt adds a great waist line and the halter elongates the bodice. The chemise on the
far right has a perfectly elegant touch with the sheer overlay, perfect for the subtle seductive look.
Pictured are some of their newest arrivals that I found on their website. The blue Parisienne push-up creates drama in
the neckline for those of us with a smaller bust line. The Ciao Bella garter belt (second from the left) shown with a
matching panty is a divine choice for a bride-to-be. The next lingerie set lives up to its name, Flirt Alert, with its
colorful satin trim that simply jumps and adds great pop to boudoir photos. I really adore the scalloped top of the red
bustier and matching hipsters; it adds a truly sexy appeal that hides delicately behind the dainty bows.
Elle Macpherson is a namesake in intimate apparel. Her monochromatic elegance is timeless. The newest collection
clearly shows this motto in its unique details. The renaissance lace on the brassier and panty set (far left) adds a
geometric and modern appeal to the soft lines of the pale pink color. The blue outfit offers a more structured and
Parisienne couture to intimate apparel. It adds a nice little boost to the bustline. All of you lovely ladies will feel
comfortable in the pink chamise slip pictured above. Slips are a great "beginner lingerie" or at least a great place to
start when trying to determine your best fit lingerie type. The vintage bra and panty set on the far right are a great
playful option. This is a great look if you prefer a 'pin-up girl' look.
