BEST LINGERIE FOR YOUR BODY TYPE
Broad shoulders define this body type, and what you decide to showcase is a personal preference. Halter necks are your best option here. If you have a flatter bum, go for a teddy to divert attention away from it. A bralette with a matching lace panty or a thong is another sexy option. Matching cami sets are another option if you like a relatively tame look.
If you have an athletic figure with no defined curves, you have a rectangular body. You need something that cinches at the waist, and corsets are the best option for that. They add curves and look sensuous. If you have a long torso, a garter belt or a teddy will look great on you. You can also accentuate your breasts by going for push-up bras and bustier lingerie.
If you have a rounded waist and your torso and upper body are much wider than your hips, you have a round body. High-waisted bottoms that define your waistline are a good option. A teddy also sits well on this type of body. For newbies, a chemise or teddy paired with a satin robe is an interesting choice – it is sexy and gives you coverage.
Measuring for your size
Please note that these diagrams and charts are from thistleandspire.com, and each line should have their own sizing charts that you can find on their website. That being said, it's important to know how to take your own measurements with a tape measure!

Types of lingerie
Bodysuits & Teddies
A teddy is usually made of lace and is lingerie while a body suit is made of cotton and actually considered clothing. Unique and feminine details, sexy cut-outs, and beautiful colors! I love it all. Long sleeve, short sleeve, choker neck, halter top, racerback, see-through, lacy, cotton, whatever! Sexy, fun, flirty. Cover as little or as much as you want to. Get a fun one with color, or simple black or lace.
Corsets
Your corset should be sturdy and tight enough to contour your waist. If you wish for a more defined bust in a corset, you can wear with a black bra underneath. Keep in mind - it is important to purchase your correct size, and you won't be able to do much arching in these!
Bustiers/Merriwidows/Corset Hybrids
They come in so many great colors, cuts, and styles. They often come with removable straps for thigh-highs.
Sheer or Semi-Sheer Robes
This is a great piece to add if you are dying to go nude but don't want to bare it all.
Bra and Panty Sets
Simple and sexy! Choose your favorite cup style (or go cupless - ooh la la!) and rock it. Demi, strapless, pushup, bralette, you choose!
Have fun shopping! xoxo, Alisha & Andrea
