Finding lingerie that flatters your curves in all the right places isn’t easy.
Few of us look like the mannequins we see walking past lingerie stores! And even the thought of trying things on in the changerooms of some of those fancy stores can feel intimidating.
Whether petite or plus-size, in our thirties or 50+, we all have bits we want to hide and others we want to highlight. Shopping online for lingerie and underwear can be a great way to see the styles on offer and consider how they may suit our shape in the privacy of our home. But, as with any online shopping, getting the size right first time is important.
One of the best expert tips is to opt for ‘one size’ lingerie, which is designed to fit and flatter almost all shapes and sizes. So to help learn more about what the different options are, we’ve teamed up with our friends at leading online lingerie store Lovehoney for your ultimate guide on one size lingerie shopping.
Who is one size lingerie for?
One size lingerie is ideal for anyone who struggles to find lingerie that fits well. It’s frustrating to order anything online – let alone a beautiful lingerie set, bodysuit or bralette – only to find it doesn’t fit properly and having to return it.
One size lingerie is designed to fit a range of dress and cup sizes for complete comfort and confidence. Adjustable straps, ties, and stretchy fabrics mean that Lovehoney’s one size lingerie can fit Aussie sizes 8-24 with ease.
It’s also the perfect solution to the constant struggle with sizing when buying a slinky set for that special someone.
First up, start by looking into styles that appeal to you, from fuller coverage to extra flirty and fun. The main choice is between more structured and unstructured styles.
Structured one size styles
· Corset
· Bustier
· Basque
· Merry Widow
· Catsuit
· Mini Dress
Unstructured styles
· Babydoll
· Flyaway
· Chemise
· Body
· Cut-out body
· Teddy
