Size
Before selecting any lingerie it is very wise to know what sizes she wears. Presenting her lingerie of the wrong size may result in an opposite reaction, from her, than the one you intended. Don't guess her size. If you have no idea what sizes she wears you could 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 here 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 on 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 could always 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
