Flirty Lingerie’s Blog

Sexy lingerie is a lot of things to a lot of differant people. Many don’t consider bras and panties as lingerie as they are worn day in and day out. Other consider lingerie as any undergarments worn by women and include bras, panties and other everyday unmentionables. Sexy garter belts are certainly sexy lingerie and they have a colorful and long history in the sexy lingerie hall of fame. Few articles of lingerie have the seductive and sensuous pedigree that garter belts have as they have evolved from utilitarian garment to strictly sexy lingerie.

Most lingerie has evolved at least to some extent over the years, decades and even centuries. Garter belts were a staple of women’s lingerie collections until the advent of pantyhose. Pantyhose freed women from wearing garter belts as they no longer needed something to hold up their stockings. Pantyhose were a combination of stockings, garter belts and panties and who could ask for most convenience? Problem was and is pantyhose are ugly, hot and not really that convenient.

Garter belts have seen a resurgence in popularity in part because they are sexy, beautiful and they accentuate a woman’s body in a special way that assured they would never go away. Thanks in part to miracle fabrics like spandex garter belts are comfortable and not bulky which works well with today’s figure flattering styles in skirts, dresses and other women’s styles.

Should every woman have garter belts in their lingerie wardrobe? Yes, and yes! While many would argue that garter belts are simply a bedroom novelty the resurgence in popularity of garter belts is associated with the popularity of stockings otherwise known as thigh high stockings. The combination of the two is very hot, very sexy lingerie. A peek of a woman’s naked thighs under a skirt is well, breath taking.  You can’t get that with pantyhose, but you can with stockings and garter belts. This naughty, slightly sensuous bit of nostalgia are helping to make garter belts a must have in sexy lingerie. <a href=”http://technorati.com/claim/zn27u7whpi” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>

Sexy shoes, high heels, stiletto’s are all women’s shoes and so much more. Sexy Shoes carry connotations well beyond that of women’s footwear. Sexy shoes can be a three inch heel pump or a six inch platform shoe and most everything in between. Women wear high heels with pants, short shorts, skirts and dresses and often with nothing at all. So what about the mystique surrounding sexy shoes?

A woman in high heels is said to be a thing of beauty and most would agree that high heels make a woman’s legs look leaner and sexier. And the higher the heel, the better? Well the problem is a woman’s legs were not meant to contort in the manner high heels force them to do. Wearing high heels for hours can be very painful, if not excruciating. But there is no denying that high heels make a woman look more feminine, seductive and of course they add height which is often crucial. So why do women suffer for fashion? High heels are fashion objects and are made by some of the most famous fashion designers in the world. High heels come in an amazing array of colors, styles, heel heights and price ranges that it is difficult to keep track. So how do women choose what shoes to wear?

One method is by heel height as every woman has her preferences, likes and dislikes. A woman who wears a pair of two inch kitty heels is likely not the same woman who is prepared to wear six inch fetish heels. Three to four inch heels make a pair of sandals or pumps stylish and functional in that they can be worn to work or as evening shoes making them versatile and fairly comfortable.

Pumps, Sandals or Mules, that is the question. Another method women go about choosing sexy shoes is the style of the shoe which is often crucial. Virtually every women’s wardrobe includes a pair of classic pumps with closed toes. A pair of pumps suggest a sophisticated, mature look which can either be a professional look or a very sexy shoe depending on heel height or color. A five inch pair of pumps in gold or even red is screaming sexy.

But what about platform shoes? Well, platforms can range from a mini platform shoe with a one inch platform that many don’t consider a platform all the way up to an eight inch platform that is likely worn only by dancers and strippers. Platforms are a staple of the exotic dancers arsenal of fashion essentials. Platforms provide height along with comfort as the platform don’t provide the exaggerated distortion that high heels require. Thus a woman gets the height she wants while her foot rests on a platform that allows her a more normal angle of resting, thus the increased comfort. Wearing platforms sends a distinctive message as most women don’t relish the idea of wearing five inch heels that suggest she is a dancer, when she isn’t.

When was the last time you saw a size 14, 16 or 18 woman on a runway wearing a sexy bra or better yet, sexy panties? The likely answer is never! With plus size women being a significant portion of the U.S. population you would think plus size models and plus size fashion would be much more visible in the media whether it be television, magazines or billboards.

Plus Size Lingerie is sexy lingerie for full figured women and is worn by millions of women but doesn’t get much play in the media. As a youth oriented culture we worship everything young and as a nation obsessed with slender, even skinny women we also worship everything slim. Women with curves are acceptable to a point with the word “fat” or “overweight” being considered nearly curse words. We accept size 34DD breasts on a woman who wear a size 4 but not on a woman who wears a size 14 or 16.

So what is a woman who is voluptuous or curvy to do? Wear more sexy lingerie is the only answer. Plus size women do not wear sexy lingerie as much as their more slender sisters. There is much speculation as to the reasons why but part of the reason is the selection of sexy plus size lingerie does not match that of missy sizes. So is it the chicken or the egg? In other words does demand for sexy lingerie determine supply or does supply determine demand. Well it is a little of both as suppliers and manufacturers will attempt to make as much sexy lingerie as they can to meet demand. On the other hand many suppliers are content to create sexy lingerie for women not in the plus size market as the demand is consistent, the market is fairly well defined and the plus size market is still an unknown quotient to a large degree.

Unlike outerwear, women don’t have to wear sexy lingerie. Women wear lingerie for a number of reasons but since it is usually worn in the privacy of their bedrooms, lingerie is often substituted with pajamas, t-shirts and panties, and the proverbial flannel night gown. Do plus size women opt for the safe and unsexy utilitarian bed clothes more than their regular sized sisters? While statistics are hard to come by the truth is wearing sexy lingerie is risky. Risky in that a woman’s body is on display in ways men never really appreciate other than they love the exposure of the woman’s body, breasts, derriere, tummy and other sexy parts. Women though often have conflicting feelings about wearing clothing that exposes and even accentuates her sagging breasts, flabby thighs or unfirm butt. While the man in her life is pleased, proud and aroused at the sight of his girlfriend or wife in all her near naked glory, a woman may worry about those perceived flaws thus being unable to truly enjoy the moment.  Do plus size women have this worry more than regular sized women? Probably as they have more weight to deal with and thus those flaws, real or perceived are increased.

Lingerie isn’t meant to hide flaws although many types of lingerie can and do improve a woman’s figure. Careful purchasing can make every woman look sexier, slimmer or just more voluptuous and that is definitely a good thing. No woman should fear wearing sexy lingerie regardless of her weight any more than fearing lingerie because of her hair color, height or education. Simply put every woman is a sexual being and lingerie can and should enhance that truth as well as make her feel and look sexy.

Gains are being made towards greater acceptance of full figured women in sexy and revealing lingerie. Online communities are growing that seek to empower full figured women in every aspect of their lives and a likely benefit is women’s acceptance of themselves, their bodies and that is a very positive step. While wearing sexy lingerie is not a political statement, it does reflect a plus sized woman’s acceptance of her body.  Changing attitudes won’t happen quickly but in time every woman will be more comfortable in her own skin. The question then will be who benefits more, the woman who loves the body she sees in the mirror or the man who gets the gift of seeing her.

While fashion shows have been around for ages, lingerie fashion shows are a bit of the new kid on the block. Lingerie lines have always had an outlet for showing the new lines of lingerie, many credit Victoria’s Secret with pushing Lingerie shows onto television and more mass market appeal. Today, lingerie has made many models rich and famous and helped lingerie become so very main stream.

These lingerie models have a number of things in common besides being gorgeous and sexy. The first thing that pops out at me is the size of their boobs. Apparently Heidi Klum recently had hers augmented and good for her, now she is only the most gorgeous blonde on planet earth, or at least in my opinion. How about Tyra Banks who has always had large breasts, and the rest of the “girls” look positively busty! What better way to sell a sexy bra than to put a pair of big boobs in them and attach a gorgeous body and face, and don’t forget the hair. This is nothing like the fashion runways where most of the girls are anorexic and flat chested. These girls at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show are positively healthy.
Gemma Atkinson is a babe and she wasn’t chosen by accident as she is busty and gorgeous. I need to keep from saying that but these ladies are hard to describe otherwise. Every man desires her and most women would love to have her body and she sure makes that blue bra and panty set look good enough to eat.

Miranda Kerr is an angel in her seamless t-shirt bra with sheer floral boy shorts in pink. This is a youthful, flirty lingerie outfit that befits a younger woman and a lingerie bra and panty set that can be worn virtually anywhere, under anything and it look quite comfortable at that. The statement here is being sexy while being practical, sensible even.

The statement here is “I have beautiful breasts and sexy is the word”. They say that if you have it flaunt it and if not have it surgically implanted. Both of these lovely stars/models are undeniably sexy and these bras are about as sensible as riding a motorcycle in the snow but they are fun to look at and seem to stay on by magic. These are not your everday bras but they do send a message and that is “Look at me, I am woman, I am dreamy”. Lingerie is a lot of things to a lot of people and most of all it says a lot about who you are and how you feel about yourself as does all clothing. These demi bras provide minimum coverage and are wasted being hidden under a blouse or jacket.

The addition of the boy shorts gives this a young look and feel, almost innocent until you look at the whole package. <a href=”http://technorati.com/claim/2f8xrsi5ac” rel=”me”>Technorati Profile</a>

Panties are so cute and sexy, tiny and flirty that it is a little hard to believe they used to be anything but these descriptive terms. Panties were for sanitary purposes only and were never to be seen, ever! I love panties and I don’t care who knows it! Panties are my favorite lingerie garment by far and I see new designs every day that make we wish I could buy every single one of them.

 Don’t you just adore these sheer panties with embroidery ? The detail is awesome and the white fabric against her tanned skin is delightful. How do you think this pair of panties makes her feel.

This Lola Luna thong is exquisite, mature and very sexy. Unlike the full coverage boy shorts above these thongs say something different about the woman who wears them. Minimum coverage, lots of skin showing and while the same woman may wear them, she will likely feel a lot different in one pair rather than the other.

Every buxom girl has, at one point or another, faced the nightmare of walking into a department or lingerie store, and started shopping for a new bra, thinking, “Oh, I’ll find that sexy little sheer black number in a DD instead of an A”. Suddenly, you’re faced with the horror of the Big Bra Rack — in the dimly lit corner of the store, full of white, tan and brown straitjackets and bullet-proof vests, an absolute nightmare awaits you…

Some women grow so accustomed to the world of Grandma Gear, they are now lost in the world of Playtex 18-Hour spandex and polyester. The rebels give up on bras entirely, opting for sports bras and shelf tanks rather than being caught dead in “one of those”. The tech-savvy girl is on all the catalog mailing lists, waiting for them to notify her by e-mail when they receive the one cute bra the manufacturer will ever make in a 44F. And the crafty girl gives up entirely and buys herself some supplies and a “Sew Your Own Bra” book at the local sewing store.

Bustier girls find bra shopping can be hard on your wallet, too. Most companies tend to charge more for bigger bras because of the additional fabric and work that goes into making them.

But don’t despair! You don’t have to wear something that looks like it came out of Auntie Annabel’s closet. Here are a few tips and tricks so you can make the most out of your sexy bra wardrobe:

- Be realistic. The sheer and specialty fabrics probably aren’t going to give you the support you need. You do not need the trauma of wearing a bra made out of flimsy mesh that ripped five minutes into wearing it because it wasn’t designed for you. Plus, you probably don’t have the time to hand wash every delicate piece of clothing you wear. Buy firm, supportive bras that can do double duty – work and play. Satin, lace, embroidered cotton and microfiber are good fabrics to start with.

- Get creative! An otherwise plain satin bra can become sexy when you pair it with a matching thong, two-toned backseam stockings, and a cute pair of kitten heels. Don’t be coerced into thinking that plain can’t be sexy.

- Buy bras that coordinate with other items. When you’re shopping, ask if they have matching pieces. You can wear the bra and panty by day and add the garter belt and stockings at night…

- If they don’t have it in your size or color, ask if you can special order. You may have to place a minimum order, so ask what the return policy is in case you don’t like it.

- The final and key point to remember is comfort. You won’t wear it if it’s comfortable, so why buy it at all? Check out the hot and sexy lingerie from FlirtyLingerie .
