Gift ideas for Under £10.

There are times when a small gift is needed, something inexpensive but still exclusive and desirable. With this in mind we have put together some great ideas for gifts costing less than £10.

In terms of our lingerie, all of the panties and thongs in the Specials/Sale items range cost less than £10. They are still beautiful items of lingerie, many made from fabulous Leavers lace from Calais, but are discontinued lines. They can be found in a range of styles and colours and would be a wonderful gift to receive. We actually have a bra in this category which is under £10, the CARMEN, which is made from Leavers Lace and is an exotic combination of yellow and burnt orange.

Even outside of our Specials/Sale collection we have many items under £10. Lace garters are chic, stunning and would make a terrific present for someone who likes wearing stockings or hold-ups as they are worn over the tops of these to add that sexy something. The REBECCA pair of garters are made from Leavers lace and come in a crisp white, stunning cobalt blue or classic black.

At the moment we have some unbelievable gifts for under £10 in our ANJIE range in white and red only (as above). These are made from the finest lace and are on offer simply because the Ennia design team in Spain can no longer buy this lace in white or red so once our stock has gone they will no longer be available. The panties and thongs are now all £9.95 and amazingly so are the ANJIE shorties. These are fabulous items of lingerie and were designed and made for us by Ennia in Spain as a feminine and beautiful alternative to panties and thongs. They are becoming very limited so if you want to buy a gift that looks exclusive and expensive for under £10 then please be quick and order these.

All of our lingerie items, no matter how small come in one of our beautiful Ennia gift boxes.

As well as lingerie we have some terrific gifts for under £10 from our brand new Napa Valley Luxury Spa Products range as used in some of the top Spas in California. These are all made using grape seed oil which has special moisturising, anti-ageing properties and they smell gorgeous too. Why not try our Gift Pack of Four Body Butters; one vanilla, one geranium rose, one green tea and one rose petal all in a silk drawstring bag. Alternatively there is the Five-Piece Gift Bag, containing all the products you need to give yourself a Spa treatment at home. We also have a variety of 1 oz. sizes of various Spa products such as the delectable Lavender Body Lotion or the Lavender Rose Bath/Shower Gel for the unbelievable price of £1.95.

So hopefully this has given you some ideas!

What type of Underwear do women want?


Men often like sinfully dark coloured underwear but be warned however that while ladies like to be spoilt most women are at heart quite practical and if your loved one has no dark blouses or t-shirts to wear over the sexy black lingerie she would probably prefer something a little more subtle so she can enjoy your present on a regular basis!

Classy ladies appreciate classy lingerie, but they also appreciate your making the effort to choose something that is appropriate for them. Many younger women like to wear lingerie that is designed to be on display with sexy Leavers Lace edging to peek out of a neckline. Curvy ladies may prefer a full cup bra than a couple of silky triangles held together with elastic, and petite ladies may like a bra which subtly enhances their figure, However be warned unless you know she wants one most women would rather not receive a wonderbra as a Valentines gift! Ennia has a huge range of bra styles to suit every lady from the cleavage enhancing balconette and plunge bras to the unpadded bras which many women prefer to wear.

The Joanna range now features a gorgeous unpadded bra in blue-grey Leavers lace to add to the already ever-popular set of lingerie. We also have a number of half-padded bras which can be a stunning compromise between padded and unpadded.

Thongs are sexy and Ennia thongs are also very comfortable, but many women don't like the feel of thongs or g-strings for everyday wear - if your lady falls into this category why not try a pair of beautiful and sexy lace shorties or our range of panties instead? (including thongs or g-strings) Lace is both attractive and luxurious, but make sure you choose high quality lace such as Leavers Lace which is comfortable to wear and sophisticated - there's nothing worse than scratchy cheap lingerie against the skin or lace which shrinks when washed.

10 Tips for Men when buying Lingerie

1. Get the fit right

Poorly fitted bras and too tight panties are unattractive and uncomfortable to wear, Women dont feel sexy when their lingerie is badly fitted so dont guess her size, rummage through her lingerie drawer or check the washing line for those size labels. You should also remember that there are reasons women wear specific styles of lingerie - if shes big breasted and always wears under-wired bras then triangle style ones connected by flimsy ribbons will not be a good fit. You can also check the Ennia Lingerie Sizing Guide to be sure you have an exact fit.

Here are a few Bra's that give you some idea's to choose from!

2. Sexy lingerie or practical underwear?

Who says you cant have both? Sexy may be saucy but most women love classy underwear that they can wear every day so go for sex appeal created by luxurious Leavers Lace or by a beautiful cut and forget the marabou feathers and scratchy bows which will soon relegate tacky lingerie to the back of the cupboard.

3. Pick the right knicker type

Thongs or boy shorts? French Knickers or classic panties? Your choice should depend on the lucky recipient. Thongs are traditionally associated with sexy lingerie and are the choice of many women who dont want to have a visible panty line, but boy shorts (also called boxer shorts) are now very popular and delicate lace styles leave no telltale line under tight clothes and are often well suited to todays low waisted fashions. If your lady likes more coverage then consider some French knickers or panties inset with beautiful soft leavers lace.

4. Choose something the recipient will want to wear

Choose undergarments which are suitable for the lady in your life and for what she will wear the lingerie under. Does she like low cut tops which allow a little lace edging to peek from beneath the neckline? (in which case choose Leavers Lace lingerie in a colour to match or contrast with her favourite tops) or does she prefer to reveal her lingerie only to you? (in which case low cut shorties and a smooth t-shirt style bra may be more appropriate). Does she have parts of her body she especially loves? (show off a stunning cleavage with a lightly padded bra) or dislikes? (elongate the legs with panties cut high on the hip). Most of all, when you look at the lingerie, do you honestly feel that shell love to wear it?

5. The importance of colour

Lingerie can be sexy in any colour but many men choose the classic red or black options when buying for women. Red and black lingerie are great but think about what the recipient normally wears, its nice to get something a little different but if she loves delicate pinks and whites, in underwear or clothing in general she probably wont like deep claret lingerie and youll see her in her sexy new underwear much more often if you choose a colour shell love to wear.

6. Should you buy brand names?

When buying lingerie the brand names that you as a man may recognise are not necessarily those that women will want to receive as a gift. High street brands such as La Senza, Contessa and Knickerbox produce nice underwear and may be the staple of her lingerie drawer but gifts bearing these brand names dont necessarily indicate to the recipient that you have troubled yourself to look for something special, while Anne Summers Lingerie can give the impression that the gift is for you and not for the lady! Women will find that some popular brands, such as Aubade, Lejaby, Simone Perele, or Ennia Lingerie, suit them better than others and will favour those brands. Unless you know that they like a specific brand, however, then buy lingerie which is good quality and which you know will suit them. One thing that is for sure is that when you shop with us and buy her Ennia Lingerie then you can rest assured you have chosen a very high quality brand with 100% European materials sourced from countries such as Switzerland, Austria, France and Italy, all our Lingerie is made to the highest standard and follows ISO9000 standards. Please remember that nearly all Lingerie sold in the high street stores is made in the Far East or similar, they are knocked out in their thousands at rock bottom prices, cleverly labelled as designed in Switzerland etc but when you dig deep you can see and feel that the garment and the materials used are inferior to the European product, sorry but it is a fact of life. The mark-up on these items is massive and has to be to cover import costs, staff costs, high street shop rates and rents etc etc. By shopping online with Ennia Lingerie you will save money and we are confident that you will be a very happier customer.

7. Which material ?

Lingerie which looks the same at first glance can feel very different next to the skin. Natural cottons and silks feel comfortable and fresh all day long and soft and stretchy Leavers Lace doesnt scratch like inferior laces do and the lace which is used in the making of Ennia Lingerie is the best, see our specific page about this and find out more. One thing our customers always tell is how comfortable Ennia Lingerie is to wear.

8. Extra knickers!

If your buying a matching bra and panties always buy an extra pair of panties, perhaps in a different style, after all these are what wear out first so get better value with that extra pair.

9. If your still in doubt ?

Enlist the help of their best friend and buy from a shop or website which allows returns if the lingerie is unused, we also offer a full satisfaction guarantee and free returns are available if your not happy.

10. Still scared?

Then buy some lingerie vouchers and package them with body paint or a bottle of champagne and let her choose her own sexy outfit, or choose it together

How To Decide Whether To Wear Bikini, Thong, Boy Cut Or Traditional Panties

Gone are the days when you would just go into your local department store and just buy a handful of regular panties. Now you have so many choices from bikini briefs to thongs to boy cut underwear and even the old traditional "grandma" style of panties that you probably wouldn't want to be caught dead in. With all the different choices many women find themselves having several different types for wearing with different clothing. Sometimes it can be a real pain just to keep them organized so that you can find what you need easily. It's not a problem for my wife because all she wears are thongs!

For those of you who do have a diverse selection of undies that you need to organize you can buy simple drawer dividers that will fit easily into the drawer where you store your panties. This will allow you to separate the styles to make it easier on you when it comes time to find a particular style or color.

These days thongs and g-string styles are becoming the rage not only among the younger crowd but among older women as well, my wife is in her forties and she wears nothing but thongs. The main difference between the two types is that thongs do actually have a crotch to them while g-strings are pretty much just what the name implies, a "string"!

The next most common underwear type will be the bikinis and briefs. For women who do not feel comfortable in thongs. Briefs are those types of panties that are usually called the granny style underwear. The bikini cut is a sexier version with a higher cut on the thigh and a lower cut waist.

Another type that is becoming popular to wear under jeans or even just around the house in front of your husband or boyfriend is the boy cut style. My wife does on a couple of pairs of these and I have to say that the way the fit so tightly and revealing they are very sexy! These combine form, function, comfort and sexiness all in one.

After you have separated all of your various styles of panties you may see that you have some spots that are nearly empty, well you know what that means? It is time to go shopping. Get a little crazy and buy some styles you may not normally buy and give yourself some diversity.

Why A Good Fitting Bra Is Essential For Every Woman

Just about everywhere you look these days, you can see a little pink ribbon as a reminder for breast cancer awareness. Breast cancer is so widespread that there are many organizations that are dedicated to finding a cure. The media campaigns have become extremely effective in bringing this often deadly disease to the attention of those who may never thought of it and hopefully a cure will soon be found.

Women are instructed to pay close attention to their breasts, examining them for lumps and irregularities and encouraged to visit their health care professional for an expert evaluation. With all the attention that is given to the health of a breast, surprisingly little is given to how an ill fitting bra can adversely affect it.

Good circulation in the body is essential for good health. Unfortunately today's ideas of beauty can cause a woman to choose a bra that is too tight or not supportive. You can look at the women that are displayed in television shows, movies, commercials and music videos and see that they are all slim and wearing tight fitting clothing. Because most women want to emulate that look, they may choose a bra for its fashion appeal but neglect to consider its health implications.

A bra that is too tight around the waist can cut off the circulation of blood and nymph. Similarly, a bra that does not give the proper support can also cause too much stress on the back and spine and cause a woman to have backaches. Many women may get breast reduction surgery to stop the pain in their backs when actually wearing the proper bra may go along way in solving the problem.

Another common mistake that women make is they will put on their bras but not adjust the breasts so that the nipples are centered in the cups. It's important for the breasts to be centered in the middle because this also helps to increase the flow of circulation, as well as giving them a more appealing look.

Cleavage is something that most women want to display at one time or another and those women who have smaller breasts will often buy bras that push the breasts together and lift them up. These bras should fit comfortably so that the circulation can freely flow but many women will buy ones that are too small because it makes the cleavage appear that much greater.

Whenever possible a woman should be professionally fitted for a bra by a woman who is trained in this area. This way she can buy the ones that will contribute to the health of her breast instead of the ones that may affect them adversely.

Make A Fashion Statement With Sexy Thongs

Find out about the thongs, its variety and styles of fabric among both men and women collection and their popularity over time.

Thongs swimwear or underwear style can generally be recognized as thin material strip with the center of the rear of garment that has specially been designed to sit inside the buttocks of the wearer that connects the pouch or front to waistband at the back of the wearer.

There are different styles in which thongs are made available that depend on the material, thickness or the kind of fabric’s rear portion and can be purchased for both sexes all over the world. G-strings and thongs are quite similar, the primary difference is that thongs comprise in extra material between the back and legs, whereas material in g-strings is comparatively less.

Thongs are thought to have been derived from some of the earlier clothing forms, the loincloth, which was normally a clothing item for males, which is almost the reverse of the contemporary western culture as now thongs are more widely accepted among women.

If we talk about contemporary clothing, it was in Brazil that the foremost time thongs gained popularity and that too as the swimsuit style.

Male thongs are quite similar to one athletic supporter as both of them give support while utilizing minimum fabric, though a usual athletic supporter isn’t a thong as its straps at rear are never at the center of the garment. V-strings, G-strings and traditional thongs are broadly three types of thongs that are available. Apart from this, Camouflage thongs, mesh thongs, slingshot thongs, fishnet thongs, leather thongs and velvet thongs are quite in vogue for men’s thongs collection.

These thongs are quite popular and can even be worn everyday or simply while exercising or running at gym.

After male thongs, even women are not any less and are flaunting the best styles in thongs these days. Thongs are quite a daring style and are commonly worn by the models so as to make invisible their panty lines, and thongs have thereby stepped into the world of fashion since then.

There are various kinds of women thongs that are available. G-strings doesn’t have any cloth, but only strings, so they do not allow any coverage. Next are the T-backs forms “T” shape at the wearer’s back, Tangas has the modest seat and last but not least is the Rio that has straps at its sides.

Low-rise hipsters are specially a good option for people who find thongs provocative as they provide more coverage and are very attractive as well. Hipsters are ideal for women who have flabby stomach. They are low rise and are cut in a similar fashion as shorts.

There are also fiber spandex thongs that are available in six lively colors that are black, copper, red, mossy green, and purple. Soft and seamless thongs are also produced that are generally preferred in black color by most customers.

Thongs are mainly made of pure cotton so as to give it a comfortable touch. However, one can also opt for sexy thongs made of silk and have contrasting stitches. No matter, what thongs you may like, they are a great swimwear and their popularity is ever increasing.

Where To Find And Purchase Fine French Lingerie

French lingerie is usually very sexy, very elegant and very expensive. It is usually well worth the price, however, as only the top quality materials are used in such designer lingerie such as Chantelle, Dolce & Gabbana, Damaris, Andres Sarda to name a few. If you are seeking to purchase such items, you probably want to know where to purchase French lingerie.

There are many different types of outlets in the United States that cater to clients who wish to purchase French lingerie. Probably the best places to start are the high end department stores. Here you will find designer lingerie in many different sizes and colors. French lingerie uses silk, satin and other materials to make their lingerie stand out above all others. The quality fabric as well as the quality workmanship is what you are paying for. By purchasing French lingerie from a top designer, you will be guaranteed quality merchandise that will last much longer than cheaply made lingerie from inexpensive fabrics.

High end department stores usually have a couture who can help you with your selection. This is a person who is well aware not only of all the lines of lingerie, but is also experienced in knowing which type of lingerie is best for your body shape. Allow the sales person to help you in choosing the lingerie so that you can make sure that it fits properly and will look good on you.

Other places to purchase French lingerie include actual couture shops. These are usually high end shops that are found as free standing stores or within malls. Most cities in the United States have several of these shops that carry only the best French lingerie. You will be paying top dollar, but you will have the benefit of the expertise of the couture who can help you choose which type of French lingerie is best for you.

If you are on a budget but still want to purchase some fine French lingerie, check out the discount outlets. Many discount outlet stores carry a wide range of quality lingerie from popular designers at much less than what you would pay in a department store. Be aware, however, that you will not get any assistance, so it is best that you know which size you want have a pretty good idea of what type of lingerie looks good on you.

You can also purchase French lingerie online. There are many different lingerie outlets online that offer designer label French lingerie at a fraction of the price of what you would pay in a store. The drawback is that you cannot see the lingerie, try it on or feel it upon your skin before buying. If you are sure about what you want, however, an online lingerie outlet can be the perfect place to purchase French lingerie and save money at the same time.

After figuring out the best place to purchase French lingerie, invest in a lingerie bag. This bag is usually made of mesh materials and you will put your lingerie in it before tossing it into the washer. You should be careful not to put French lingerie in the dryer and if at all possible, wash it by hand so that it lasts longer.

Consider your budget, time restraints and what type of lingerie is right for you before deciding on where to purchase French lingerie. Make sure that you only get quality products and be aware that you will be paying more money than you will for cheaper made garments made in other countries.

How To Easily Find And Buy The Lingerie You Need Online

As you are looking and buying or just shopping online you need to be sure that you are looking are things that you are going to like. After all you cannot try it on in a virtual changing room so you need to pick out your pieces very carefully. There isn't anything better then buying a sexy piece and not even having to go out to get it. You would want to be able to get something that you really like but at the same time be able to trust the source that you are buying it from. You want to know who you are buying it from and recognize the names you could be typing your credit card info into a fake website then have your identity stolen without even knowing it.

You are going to be in the privacy and safety of your house so nobody will even ever know what you are doing where as in public people know what you are trying on and will often discuss amongst themselves about you.

Be sure that what you are buying fits and suits you there is nothing worse then buying something that doesn't fit and that you don't like. The worst thing you could probably do is buy something just because it looks good on the model you might not have the type of body that the model does or you might. You are not buying your piece for her to wear you buying it for you and you only. Every women has a certain type of body and is subject to there husbands or boyfriends evaluation which in that case you should get something that they will like and like on you and not just for your body even though that is what they will most likely be looking at. It is often easy to get something that you like online but then get it and hate it when you see it and wear it.

You need to really think about what you want before you go nuts and buy something that you absolutely hate more than anything you have.

You want to get something that shows all the areas you like and want to show and at the same time hide the areas that you don't want everyone to see. The key to getting what you really want is getting stuff that you already have designs to and that you know you will like after you get it in.

What Every Woman Needs To Know About Buying Lingerie

To some women there is nothing better to them then going lingerie shopping that just may be their thing. This is the time to get something that the man you are with to enjoy or you might just want something nice. Most of all women should go shopping for a nice sexy little piece that shows their curves and what makes them look good. The main thing you need to think about when getting a nice piece though is to really be sure that you are going to like and wear it later.

Absolute Flattery: you want to feel like no other women is anything to you, you want to look like a million bucks. Be sure that it shows the best of your body and to not get something that will show areas that you don't want exposed or you might want something like that. This piece is supposed to make you look amazing not horrible about yourself. Maybe you don't like the way your butt looks in a G-string or Thong then you might go with a chemise or something along those lines. Maybe you want to show off cleavage then you need to get a corset. You just want to overall get something that makes you look amazing but at the same time sexier then any other women alive.

Have a Great Time: you will need to try on everything to get what you want and like. You might want to get something that has a kind of print on it like zebra or leopard. The whole point to this type of shopping is to get what you want but also find other things that you never knew of as well. You could get that little bra and panties set, and then get a corset and thong that will just blow the minds of anyone who sets their eyes on you.

Colors: you want to know what colors are you and that fit you. You don't want to get something that makes you feel flabby. If you are a good looking blonde then you can probably pull off any color but yellow. You just need to go out and find something that makes you feel better then you have in a long time.

Soft to the Touch: you need to like touching it as much as you do wearing and looking at it. Be sure that it feels good on your skin you don't want to get something that is going to scratch at you and bother you while you wear it. If you like it to feel good on the skin then velvet and silk is the way for you to go. You want to stay away from the lace that covers sensitive areas that might bother you during the day.

Get Comfortable: you may want to change from sleeping pants to a thong which your husband or boyfriend should have no problem with. Sexy isn't and not always skimpy and small it can be anything that shows your sexuality. You can look and feel good without being skimpy.

How To Make Your Love Of Lace More Comfortable

There is nothing prettier than the look of lace. Many years ago, lace was very expensive as it was all created by hand. With the advent of machine-made laces, the cost has become negligible. Because of the low cost and the popularity of lace, you will find lace on everything from outerwear to the most intimate of undergarments and lingerie. There is nothing like knowing you have on lace panties to make a woman feel sexy. Unfortunately, lace can also be scratchy and irritating to wear.

Lace will feel stiffer if it is made from synthetic materials so try to find lace made from natural fibers like cotton or silk. Silk laces are the best but can be quite pricey compared to other laces. If you can afford it, though, you will find nothing else to feel as good and still look so sexy. Especially for intimate garments, silk lace will not chafe or irritate delicate skin.

If silk lace is too expensive, the next best option is a good quality cotton lace. This type of lace is usually quite sturdy and will get softer the more you wash it. Cotton lace can still be costly and is harder to find, unfortunately.

One way to get the look of lace without the chafing is to choose styles that are embellished with lace but where the lace doesn't actually touch sensitive skin areas. Satin chemises with lace insets are one option that looks and feels sexy without irritating the skin. Lace can be lined with soft or sheer fabrics that are still revealing is another option for sexy lingerie.

If you already have many lace items that are scratchy, there is a way to soften the lace so you can wear them more often. Soak all your lace in a sink or basin full of hot water and lots of fabric softener. Leave the items soaking for 24 hours. Depending on the stiffness of the lace, you may have to do this several times before the items are soft enough to wear comfortably. Once they have softened, be sure to always use fabric softener when you wash them again.

For lace bras, there are patterns available to sew linings into the bras. Silk or satin linings feel nice to your skin and still look good. If the point is to be see through, you can use a sheer rayon mesh. This material is very soft but can be purchased in very sheer fabrics to keep that see through look.

If you're a true lace lover, future purchases should really be made of silk for the most comfortable feeling items. It's worth it to save up and spend more for the quality you will get. The investment will pay off many times down the road as silk lace will look like new for many years if taken care of properly. There is nothing sexier than to wear a complete set of silk lace underthings under your clothes. The only one who knows it is you but everyone will notice the smile on your face.


It is of no surprise that the evolution of photography and film making served as a catalyst for the lingerie created today.

The first photographs ever taken of women were of women not in their normal attire but in sexy lingerie. Some of the earlist films or "movies" featuring women were very short only a few seconds long, but they were titillating pieces of seduction with women prancing around in revealing lingerie. But what a surprise how much science has lent a helping hand to the world of erotic clothing.

Both improvements in techniques of production of lingerie and also the science of photography and film making have been involved.

In the world of film noir, the leggy damsel was always found in "something more comfortable" later in the film. And that comfort was more for the eye of the unwitting man than her body. The femme fatale would almost always get her way (and her man) with a pair of heels and a racy negligee.


Bras were moving up in popularity and immortalized the figures of women like 'Sweater Girl' Lana Turner, Jane Mansfield, and Marilyn Monroe. Genius engineer Howard Hughes even took his talent for aeronautic design and focused on the female form by designing a bra for the illustrious Jane Russell. (This is reputed to be the first underwired bra.) And it is here where science married sexuality. While men reached the moon and made their huge leap for mankind in their Apollo Crafts, science worked on the heavenly bodies on earth to make its own huge leap for the art of seduction.

Science's influence on lingerie design inspired even more dedication by manufacturers to improve their styles, materials, and technology. Lingerie was evolving in the 60's and 70's but by the 80's, competition was in full force to make the next best panty line, the most advanced bra technology, the hottest outerwear corset and on and on. More manufacturers were taking onboard the latest designs, the latest technologies and major fashion houses were fully involved. The new Supermodels catwalked the lingerie as well as the outerwear.

A woman's tools for seduction are no longer just a lace up corset or a nightgown. One would think they were studying for a science exam when reading some of the literature that goes with a bra and panty set. And all this can be to a woman's advantage. Any woman can now take what seems like a simple article of clothing and use it to transform herself into the sexiest she can be with comfort and class.

Times have changed with regards to what is deemed sexy and with regards to how much a lady may reveal without revealing too much from beneath her lingerie. And something should be left to the imagination as it surely adds to the sex appeal (and what would be the point of the lingerie anyway?). With the imagination and pioneering work of scientists in all areas much is still to be discovered and seen. How much lingerie will be a involved with science in the future, we have yet to see.

Where The Lingerie Item Known As The Chemise Comes From

Called the "leine" by the Irish, the chemise started as a simple shirt that was worn under the clothes. In an age where people didn't bathe or launder clothing frequently, the chemise kept body oils and sweat from staining outer clothing. The chemise was usually of cotton or other common material that could be washed more frequently than the more delicate silks of outer garments.

In the Middle Ages, chemises were worn by men and women. As bathing became more commonly practiced, the use of chemises by men has largely disappeared. The descendant of the men's chemise can be found in the modern undershirt that many men still wear beneath their shirts.

Chemises have remained popular with women although not for the original purpose. The modern chemise has many purposes, largely depending on the material used to create it. Cotton and satin traditional chemises are still highly used as undergarments for delicate or sheer outer clothing styles. Since these chemises are used under other clothing, they are usually made in colors designed to blend or hide under other fabric colors. Therefore, the majority of undergarment chemises are still made in white, cream or black.

Chemise style outer clothing has become in vogue. With the wider choice of fabrics and materials available in modern times, chemises can be created in any combination to suit any woman. From fancy chemise shirts to flirty chemise dresses, the style is fun and comfortable at any age. Plain or embellished, chemises can be seen in any store where fashionable clothing is sold.

When you mention chemises to most people, they still think of lingerie in one form or another. This style of lingerie is one of the most widely versatile styles. Depending on the fabrics used, the chemise as lingerie can be anywhere from sweet and innocent to ultra-hot and sexy.

Simple t-shirt knit chemises are a lightweight sleepwear option and one of the most comfortable choices. This style can be embellished with ribbon, appliques, or lace for a fancier look. This is the chemise at it's most basic and remains a favorite with women for it's ease and comfort. This type of sleepwear is a good choice for any age.

At the other end of the scale is the sexy teddy style chemise guaranteed to drive men crazy. This can be made from satin for a sweet and flirty look that feels great to wear. It can also be created from anything from sheer lace all the way to buttery soft leather. Each material gives the classic teddy a different look and feel.

The chemise has been in style for hundreds of years and will continue to remain popular. With the huge array of fabric choices and color combinations, you have a look that can carry you through the day or keep you up all night. No other style has the versatility of the chemise which is why it has stayed a favorite for so long and will remain so in the future.

Plus size women can certainly wear whatever they feel comfortable in, thongs and corsets included. The key to feeling sexy in lingerie is to find the right size, the right look and the right patterns to accentuate the positives and reduce attention to areas that make one uncomfortable.

Finding plus size lingerie, and particularly bridal lingerie, can be difficult at best. Online stores offer a better way to shop for plus size lingerie. You'll find more sizes, a better variety of colors and patterns and a larger selection of lingerie for that special moment.

Lingerie That Fits
Sexy lingerie, like chemises, thongs, bras, corsets, garters and panties should not only fit your body, but also your personality. Notice the difference between sexy lingerie and tasteless pieces that will send a completely different message to your partner.

Look for lingerie pieces that flatter your figure. Someone with a large chest, for instance, may require a bra with an under-wire to prevent sagging and create the illusion of cleavage. If you have love handles around your middle but long sexy legs, wearing garters will accentuate your positive body feature and draw attention to it.

Lingerie doesn't need to be skimpy in order to be sexy either. A long chemise or a silk robe can do wonders to cover up a tricky area while giving your partner something to get excited about with a little extra bare skin. Tastefully chosen lingerie can be incredibly sexy to look at and to touch.

Finding Your Style
The style of lingerie you choose also says something to your partner. A leopard print may give off the impression that you are bit of an animal. Soft pinks, mauve, and lavender show a more delicate side, while red says you're ready for some adventure.

Dressing up for your partner can be incredibly fun. Different pieces of lingerie can be used for different occasions. Bridal lingerie, for example, can be sweet and innocent. Save the more dramatic lingerie and fun pieces for spicing up the relationship later on down the road.

Finding the right look that matches your personality and your comfort zone while showing your partner a sexier side may take a little exploration on your part. You may have to try a few different outfits to see what's going to work for you and what makes you feel sexy. Once you find your style you can stock up in different colors, patterns and textures.

Tempting Your Partner
Buying lingerie is a fun way to tempt your partner. Lingerie doesn't need to be limited to the bedroom. Wearing sexy bras and panties under your clothes while on a date to make you feel flirty and fun. Tempting your partner with a sneak peek of sexy lingerie during the date is a teaser that will leave them wanting more.

Above All Else, Have Fun!
The whole idea behind the purchase and wearing of any type of lingerie is to impart as sense of pleasure between two people at the most intimate of times. Remember, it's not the garments the man is attracted to, they are just the icing on the cake.

Sexy Lingerie - Elegant or Trashy? - By: Robert E. Morrison

What do men find attractive? Maddeningly explosive or elegantly presented? Surveys have shown that, most of the men don't find too flashy, trashy or cheesy outfits much of alluring. This is also quite true for lingerie too. My dear ladies, you want to look sexy? Trust me you do not necessarily have to be a daredevil and put on lingerie which might question the most primitive pattern of clothing! You can still look sexy and inevitable with much less exposure- all you have to do is put in a little thought while choosing lingerie.

One most important motive behind opting for sexy lingerie is to be appealing in front of the partner. Now, before you start applying the rules of attraction from some book you have read- here is a secret which you can treasure all your life; romance is nothing extinct, it is rather alive and kicking. So there is no point in attempting to allure a guy unless you learn to blend tasty amount of romance in it. So girls say welcome to satins and laces.

Of course guys can have latex fetishes or they can be gawking at those almost-wearing-nothing models- yet most of the guys cannot ignore the kissing touch of satin on a velvety skin, nor will he be able to deny the seduction of fancy-exquisite crochet laces. Most of the guys love personality emitting from women body-it makes them believe that there has been a touch of art in the whole romantic procedure, in the ways of making love.

If you are ready to spend a little money that, I will suggest you that you opt for brand ones. There are loads of quality lingerie brands available. To name few- Le Parla, Eres, Victoria's secret. Even the brands like Calvin Klein and Christian Dior also launches lingerie. For young girls Lycra has been quite a buzz. This lingerie definitely leaves off those cheap porn-like look, and make woman look radiant and a lot more appealing. In other words they make women look a hell of sexy.

Moreover, that cheap and trashy lingerie are not that comfortable either. They tend to emphasize on exposure and in the process they rudely sacrifice another vital issue of lingerie- providing comfort. I don't think any of the women will say they were comfortable in super-push up bras or crotch less panties. Such lingerie is too contemporary to use- they only serve for a moment! Lingerie looks the most exotic when it suits the wearer's body- not when it makes body parts of the wearer pop out and thus make her the most uncomfortable.

Also remember to include a good looking and elegant night wear to your sexy lingerie wardrobe. Such dresses at night- sure to turn your partner on! Also the fact that sexy lingerie can instantly turn on the mood for passive lovemaking and some intense romantic sessions makes the sexier lingerie as an elegant luxury by the world's foremost and most passionate lovers.
