Finding the right lingerie for your body type depends on the areas which you wish to hide and the areas which you wish to accentuate.
There are four different types of female body shape.
The so-called banana shape is the term used for slim women who usually have small breasts and a thin waistline.
The second shape is called the apple which applies to women who have wider shoulders in comparison to their waistline and hips.
These women often have larger breasts.
The pear shape applies to women who have wide hips.
The hourglass figure is associated with voluptuous women who have wide hips and large breasts.
Women who have large breasts should be concerned with finding a bra which provides suitable support.
It is advisable to choose the correct fitting bra to avoid problems with posture.
Women who have smaller sized breasts should find lingerie which has nicer details in other areas.
For example a nice high sitting pair of panties will naturally direct the eye away from the breasts.
Finding the right lingerie for your body type will very much depend on personal taste and which parts of your body you are most happy with.
Women with a stomach that they are not proud of could try wearing a loose fitting teddy which conceals the abdomen.
Women who are not proud of their hips and legs should purchase lingerie that has features which bring the eyes higher up the body.
This could be with an attractive bra or camisole.
Generally women who have the banana shape are advised to choose items which highlight their long lines.
This is usually best with a chemise or camisole which is not too loose fitting.
This makes the body appear slim, but doesn't show off the lack of shape.
Women who have the apple shape of body should avoid loose fitting items.
Wide shoulders do not look good with fabrics hanging down over the waistline.
A good fitting bustiers or corset can be very flattering for women with this body shape.
Pear body types will suit a teddy which flies out from under the breasts.
This helps to conceal wide hips and gives the appearance of a slimmer body.
Women with this body type who do not wish to bring attention to their breasts can consider a loose fitting camisole.
Also wearing panties with nice a design can bring the eyes away from the hip area.
Women who have the hourglass physique are advised to consider wearing hot pants or a short baby doll.
These help to balance the legs with the larger shapes and accentuate attractive curves.
A chemise which ends above the knee is also a good option for those with an hourglass body.
