TIPS FOR MEN ON PURCHASING LINGERIE FOR HER

To become a master in giving her touching and amazing presents, consider these golden tips.

Size
Before selecting any lingerie it is very wise to know what size she wears. Presenting her lingerie in the wrong size may result in the opposite reaction of the one you intended. Don't guess her size. If you have no idea what size she wears you can always ask her or peek through her lingerie wardrobe for sizes she currently wears. To keep it a secret you should look for the right size on her favorite bra. A number and a letter indicate the size. (Example: 36B) • The number is referring to the contour under the bust • the letter is referring to the depth of the cup.

An almost fool proof way to determine her cup size is the fruit method. If her breasts fall into one of these size categories, then usually the cup size next to it will be the right one.

Half Lemon=A Cup
Half Orange=B Cup
Half Grapefruit=C Cup
Half Melon=D Cup

For those of you who are not much into fruits, you can also use the following method to determine her cup size.

Half Golf Ball=A Cup
Half Tennis Ball=B Cup
Half Baseball=C Cup
Half Softball=D Cup

Style
Size is one thing but it's not enough. The style is just as important.
To pick the right bra you should take a good look at what she's wearing most. Tight clothing, deep necklines or does she prefer loose clothing?

  Color
Rule of thumb: if you take a close look at her wardrobe, you will spot her favorite colors. Think about her favorite colors or which hues look good on her. Her favorite colors might be the ones she most often wears. Does she wear a lot of blues, pinks or black? You can also look through her closet and drawers to figure out which colors she most often wears. Consider what colors compliment her skin tone or what shades play up the color of her eyes. Don't forget to take the color of her hair into consideration as well. If you just can't decide on a particular color, go with black. Black is a timeless, classic color that looks great on women.

  Ask for Help
Don't be shy. If you have questions or need advice, we will be glad to help you and can ensure you will leave with something that will thrill both you and your sweetheart.

  The gift certificate
If you are still not sure then buy her a gift certificate. Your lingerie consultant will wrap it and turn it into a most surprising present. Gift certificates are only available for sale at the store.
