When it comes to buying lingerie, you want to eliminate anything that binds or cuts into the skin. Most of us want lingerie to make us look as smooth as possible. You're not going to do that with things that are in any way too small. When it comes to lingerie, buying too small can actually make you look bigger.
* The most important thing to consider when buying lingerie is size, especially accurate bra size. You want each item to fit properly and to be comfortable. Speaking of comfort, many women avoid lingerie because they fear it won't be comfortable, but there are many options to choose from which provide not only beauty and style, but also plenty of comfort.
*Before buying, make sure you know your correct bra size. Chances are, unless you've been professionally measured, you're not wearing the right size. If your breasts spill out of the cups into your armpits, your cup size is too small.
*If the strap in the back rides up, your bra's band strap is too big. If your breasts appear to sag in your brassiere, then you may need criss-cross support, stronger straps, and/or an underwire. If the straps dig into your shoulders, look for wider straps.
*You don't have to start out choosing the most daring item of lingerie. You can select from gorgeous nightgowns, silky robes, and satin lounging pajamas. There are many different styles available for every preference and mood. From long and elegant to short and sexy, you can choose something that you and your partner will both find attractive. It really depends on taste.
*If you're looking for bedroom wear, what matters most is how glamorous and beautiful they make you feel. However, if you're looking for plus size panties as foundation garments, remember that bikinis are not usually as attractive under clothes as panties that rise all the way to the waistline of whatever you're wearing.
*If you are shopping in a store, make sure you can try on lingerie, even if it is over your clothing or undergarments. Getting the right fit can be a bit tricky, because lingerie tends to run a little on the small side. Like it or not, you may need to select a larger size. Don't feel bad; many women do. If you're shopping online, measure yourself in all the key areas and contact an online retailer for additional sizing information.
*Price is always an issue, so shop and compare. Competition in the lingerie industry is high, so you should be able to find great prices if you shop around for the best deal. Why pay more for lingerie if you don't have to, especially when online shopping is so convenient? Most online lingerie retailers also ship your purchases in discreet packaging, so you won't have to worry about privacy.

Thre are a few questions in here I need answers to thanks
By: voterperson | 04-08-2008
QUESTION One: Would you care if your mother, sister, any family member did not like where you shop for clothes or criticized where you shopped for clothes?
QUESTION TWO: Would you be wondering if they were laughing at you when you wear your clothes? Give details.
QUESTION THREE: How would you handle it if someone did not like where you shop for clothes or criticized where you shopped for clothes?
QUESTION FOUR: Do you agree with Roberta that it should not matter what other people think?
GIVE DETAILS:
Here is why I asking. Tonight Stacy and her mom went to her sister?s, brother-in-law?s house (and two nephews) for dinner.
Roberta: ?Where did you buy that blouse. At the 99 cent store?
Stacy: ?Yes?
Stacy thought that was the end of the conversation. But right after Stacy cleaned up the dinner dishes (to help her sister) and came back out to the dining room the following conversation took place.
Roberta: ?Why do you want to buy clothes at the 99 cent store. I mean you are not poor?
This got Stacy mad and she lashed out at her sister and her mom.
Roberta: ?I am not attacking you I am just curious.?
Stacy: ?But I like the clothes there. I don?t get the crappy ones and I get a lot of compliments?
Roberta: ?But you don?t know who wore them before - they are used. I can see buying jewelry there, paper towels, purses?
Stacy: ?I don?t care if someone else wore them I like them. And the ones I buy you cannot tell that they were someone else?s. And I rather buy them there then go to a department store and spend $28?
Mom: ?Stacy has tons of clothes from the 99 cent store?
Roberta: ?Stop yelling. So you are saying you rather have quality then quantity?
Stacy: ?I only get the quality? Stacy was getting madder by the minute
Roberta: ?Stop yelling. I am not putting it down I am just curious. I was just asking. All you had to say was the following ?I like them and I prefer to shop at the 99 cent store? instead of going into major explanations?
Then they had a nice discussion. Roberta told Stacy that it really should not matter what other people think. That even though their mom and Roberta feel that they would never buy in the 99 cent store that doesn?t mean that Stacy should stop. And that even though Roberta does not like Macy?s there are people who shop in Macy?s that doesn?t meant these people are wrong for shopping at Macy?s. The same thing with the 99 cent store. That there are people who shop at the 99 cent store and like it. Roberta also said that if Stacy went to Sephora?s with Roberta and Roberta purchased a lot of lipstick Stacy would think that Roberta is crazy. But Roberta would not care because Roberta likes makeup. And also that their mom says plenty of things to Roberta but Roberta ignores their mom. because she does not care what the mom says.
Also Roberta told Stacy that Stacy always dresses nicely and Stacy likes clothes. When Stacy asked do you like this blouse. Her sister did say it was pretty but that is not the point, that Roberta is sure that Roberta has worn things that Stacy did not like, Stacy replied true" so it really is not important if Roberta likes it or not.
Stacy did tell her sister that her mom is a hypocrite because her mother accepted four blouses that Stacy purchased at the 99 cent store and her mom has come with her to the 99 cent store to look at the clothes. Her mother got defensive and said ?I only wore one of the blouses you purchased, it had a ticket on it, and I never purchased anything there?
