Tips for choosing the correct lingerie

Whether you are buying lingerie for yourself or as a gift for your partner, it’s not always an easy task.Usually the models on the store posters or the websites are drop dead gorgeous and would probably look amazing dressed in a sack!
Now unfortunately we don’t all have the perfect lingerie model figure, but that doesn’t mean you can’t look extremely hot if you follow a few simple tips in finding the prefect lingerie for you.

Choosing sexy lingerie isn’t always easy, especially if you are slightly self-conscious and are looking to impress a new partner, or you are the partner trying to impress your new date with a gift of lingerie. For a guy, walking into a lingerie store trying to find something sexy without feeling like a complete pervert can be nerve-wracking!And ladies, how many times have you gone to buy lingerie in a store full of 20-something year olds with stick figure bodies and legs that go forever!

Our first advice is to consider buying online.

The advantages of buying lingerie onlineBuying lingerie online allows you to search for lingerie in the comfort of your own home. You don’t feel rushed, or threatened and you can simply put items in your ‘shopping cart’ and then sort through them later.

Choosing lingerie online offers you the ability to simply type in the keyword of what you are after. For instance if you were after a red mesh babydoll, simply type in ‘red mesh babydoll’ in the search box and all items matching that description appear. It couldn’t be easier!

Shopping online also allows you the ability to send items online to friends to ask their opinion. Email the link and see what they think first rather than making a rash decision you might regret once you have purchased.

Online lingerie shopping is usually cheaper than retail lingerie stores because they don’t have the huge overheads such as fancy stores, huge marketing costs, a load of staff to pay. Tis means online stores can often provide superior garments at a much cheaper price.

Dream Lingerie caters for all tastes and all shapes and sizes. Whether you are a size 6 or a little on the larger side, our online store caters for everyone, so you are guaranteed to find something that suits you perfectly. If you don’t like it you can return it. Simple.

When purchasing lingerie for yourself or someone else, think about the type of style that suits best…

Are you comfortable or shy? Are you looking for something for a romantic night or a wild night of passion, or something even a bit wilder!

Robes, Gowns and Camisoles
For those that are a little shy about their body, we recommend a more conservative style of lingerie, such as a robe, gown or a camisole. These cover a little more of your body but you can choose from something conservative or a sexy see-thru lace number. The great thing about a robe or gown is you can wear it with a matching bra and panty set underneath, and peal a few layers off as you get a little more adventurous and comfortable.

Babydolls and Chemises
Babydolls are the playful breed of lingerie. They are cute and sexy enough to wear with confidence while watching TV, or in the bedroom.
A Babydoll or Camisole usually shows off a lot more of your legs and sometimes tummy, though Dream Lingerie have a range to suit every figure, so you’ll always feel comfortable, and playful! They are also the perfect lingerie for summer!

Camisoles
Camisoles are a 2-piece lingerie set that can be worn as an under-garment or as sleepwear. Usually a little more simple in design than the Babydoll but more practical as an everyday under garment.
