So many women worry about picking out the right lingerie for their boudoir session. If you’re planning a boudoir photo shoot and are lost in the sea of choices when it comes to lingerie, read on!
The first thing I tell women is the most important thing is to pick something that makes you feel good. If you feel uncomfortable it will show in your photos. Now, I’m not saying don’t try new styles or colors, I’m saying if something doesn’t fit you well and you hate how it looks on you, move on to the next option! Here are five tips to get you in the right direction.
1.) Understand that not every style compliments every body type. Just because it looked good on the model, it may not look good on you and that’s OK!
2.) Lingerie, like all other clothing can vary in size between manufacturers; so, don’t get stuck on a size tag!
3.) Don’t rule it out before you try on. You may be surprised how amazing it makes you feel and look!
4.) Lacey doesn’t automatically mean scratchy. Materials have come a long way over the years and today’s lace can be super soft and comfortable.
5.) Lingerie can be fun to wear every day. Many lingerie pieces such as teddies or corsets can be combined with a pair of jeans and a jacket for a very trendy look!
Keeping these tips in mind when you go shopping, keep an open mind, try things on and be brave! Try new colors, styles and have fun! Lingerie is meant to make you feel good about yourself and celebrate the flirty, sexy goddess that you are no matter if your 20 or 60.

Whether you’re someone who follows the fashion trends or you just wear what you love, there’s no doubt that you’ve seen people sporting lingerie outside of the bedroom. Celebrities and non-celebs alike are rocking body suits, fishnets, long line bras, corsets, bras under sheer tops and more every day. Though this is considered the norm for the stars, many women are trying to figure out how to pull of those same looks in a classy way for themselves. If your trying to find the confidence to try or wondering where to start putting it all together, we’ve got some ideas for you!
The most important thing is to make sure you have proper fitting lingerie. Nothing is worse than being poked with underwires or boning or having your straps constantly falling off your shoulders; and we’ve all been there! Getting professionally fitted is a great way to know what fits your body best. You’ll be amazed at how great your clothes look when you start with the right lingerie and how empowered you feel.
The proper fit doesn’t just provide comfort, it can enhance your natural curves too! The right lingerie can lift and round your breasts, smooth your stomach, lift your derriere and show off your best assets. Think of your lingerie as your best friend, giving you the helping hand to look your best. When your figure is correctly fitted with the right lingerie your clothes will fit better too. Talk about a confidence boost when that dress you love looks extra good on you!
Wearing lingerie doesn’t have to be visible but let’s talk about why it’s something to think about. Many of us work in jobs that require us to wear uniforms or have very specific dress codes which keep your individual personality from shining through. Adding select pieces of lingerie into your everyday wear is a great way to express your individual personality or to step a little outside your comfort zone a show off your femininity while keeping it classy.
Pointelle Rib Knit Jersey Bodysuit with Adjustable Neckline
Not ready to go sheer or full lace? Start with a silk camisole or a velvet body suit. A lacy teddy under a jacket or blazer with your favorite jeans, or a corset and stockings with a skirt are great options that let you be as brave as you want while keeping it classy and beautiful! Make it your own and OWN IT! That is truly what makes it both beautiful and sexy. Wearing lingerie as daily wear isn’t about showing off your most private parts, it’s celebrating your style, the beauty of your femininity and can be a super confidence booster if you know how to do it!

I, like most women, grew up believing that lingerie was meant to be worn for the enjoyment of someone else. Over the past few years, I’ve realized that’s not true at all. Women should wear lingerie to feel beautiful, confident and sexy… for themselves. If you happen to be wearing it when someone else is around then good for them! They get to enjoy it too!
Firstly, lingerie should be worn for the person wearing it. If there’s, shall we say, effects that transpire from wearing it in the presence of someone else then, YAY! However, no one else should be your priority when it comes to the clothes you choose to wear. When you wear lingerie that is beautiful, fits you properly and is comfortable, you’ll begin to feel beautiful no matter what your day has in store for you.
There are many different types of lingerie. By choosing the right pieces, you can help your clothing fit properly, revealing your beautiful figure. Lingerie should smooth, lift and enhance where needed. You can choose pieces that support you and hold everything in place, or go for soft, flowing pieces for a more natural look.
There is no better confidence booster than gorgeous lingerie. Wearing beautiful lingerie under your everyday cloths to do errands, go to work, out for a date-night, going out with the girls, or for anything else, lets you carry yourself with a special self-confidence.
What I love about wearing boutique lingerie each day is knowing something that no one else knows; my secret self under the everyday clothes I wear. Lingerie can be your secretive self-expression that no one knows about… unless you choose to show them. We women are soft, curvy and mysterious creatures who lead busy lives as strong, powerful mothers, sisters, bosses, friends, and partners. I believe that by adding a little more softness and mystery to our curves it makes us that much more confident, sexy and empowered. So go ahead and let that amazing goddess you are express herself in the lingerie you choose and wear every day!
When a woman feels confident, takes care of herself and loves her body, the confidence is carried into and shows in her personal life. Showing your softer, feminine side is something that is important for you and can help you feel sexy even on those challenging days! Feeling great about yourself and your curves, wearing things that make you feel sexy and a bit saucy can keep the romance alive no matter how long you’ve been with your partner. Exposing a glance of delicate lace or a small peek of glimmering satin, will help catch your partners eye and let you feel in complete control. Knowing that you have their every attention because of what you’re wearing is very empowering.
Lingerie that fits right is also very important. If it bunches or doesn’t compliment your curves, it may be more of a hassle than a confidence boost. No one wants to tug on or straighten their unmentionables all day, so make sure to invest in the right lingerie. It takes time to build up your lingerie wardrobe, but have fun with it, you deserve it. Always know that you are worth the splurge as you save up for your next purchase. When you make an appointment at Picture Perfect Lingerie, we will help you find your new favorite pieces, and our private dressing rooms will ensure your purchases fit beautifully.
Purchasing quality lingerie is the only way to ensure that your pieces last and always feel comfortable. Lingerie may look great in a photo, but pay attention to the edges, seams and finish. Make sure to feel the piece against your skin. There’s a huge difference between department store brands of lingerie and the lingerie we carry. The latter is going to feel nice every time you wear it and it will last a lot longer too.
Never, ever, ever wash your lingerie in a washing machine or put it in the dryer. Always hand wash it in cold water and lay it flat to dry. I know this sounds like a pain, but it makes your pieces feel like new every time you put them on. Washers and especially dryers are very hard on your delicate pieces even if you use a delicate cycle. The washer violently throws them around, stretching the seams, while the heat from the dryer, dries out the elastic. You will make your lingerie last a lifetime if you care for it properly.
Why buy boutique lingerie for yourself? Because you deserve it! You deserve to feel beautiful, confident and sexy, not just some days but every day! I opened this boutique so that I could make that a possibility for all women of all sizes. Schedule your personal shopping appointment with me to get yourself into some boutique lingerie!

It’s that time of the year again, Valentine’s Day. A day of love and romance, and if you’re lucky some beautiful lingerie from your lover. At least that is how we used to think, but don’t believe you should wait to be given lingerie as a gift. You shouldn’t think you need a lover at all to buy lingerie. Most women have thought at one time or another, “If no one’s going to see it, why should I buy it?” You don’t need a partner to enjoy the satisfaction of gorgeous lingerie because lingerie isn’t for them, it’s for you!
LINGERIE WAS NEVER ABOUT THEM
Lots of women come to my studio and shop in our boutique looking for sexy lingerie to surprise their husband/boyfriend/partner. That’s great because lingerie is an awesome gift to give your special someone. However, it’s not really the lingerie that you’re giving them. It’s taking the time to go out and get glamorous for your special someone. The lingerie was always for you. Lingerie provides women with something that makes them feel confident and sexy. This is the gift you’re giving, a glimpse at how freaking amazing you look. The gift is really sharing your confidence and sexiness. Lingerie should be a gift you give yourself. It shouldn’t matter if anyone is going to see it because you’re the only person whose opinion matters. You shouldn’t buy lingerie just for someone else, you should buy it because you deserve to feel fabulous. You deserve to feel glamorous when you take your clothes off at night and you deserve super comfortable lingerie to sleep in. Sure, your partner gets to look at your gorgeous lingerie, but it was always for you. Get yourself something beautiful like our seductive lace teddy with heart cut-out detail. This gorgeous teddy is sure to show off your sexiness with beautiful soft lace and a sexy plunging neck line.
LINGERIE CAN HELP YOU LOVE YOURSELF
You don’t need someone else’s love before you can have love for yourself. Just like you don’t need someone else to see your lingerie before you buy it. Lingerie is about seeing yourself as sexy; it’s the first thing you put on and the last thing you take off. You shouldn’t walk around all day feeling uncomfortable in a bra and panties that are low quality or don’t fit well. When you invest in yourself, when you really take the time to find something that fits your body, your personality and looks good on you, you will notice a difference. You don’t need someone else to see you as beautiful when you see yourself as beautiful. You deserve to see yourself as beautiful, gorgeous and sexy. Which is the entire point of lingerie! Everyone deserves to look at themselves in the mirror and think “Damn! I look hot!” So, get yourself something hot like our Venice embroidery lace garter babydoll and thong set.
LINGERIE CAN HELP WITH BODY EMPOWERMENT
Valentine’s Day can be a very frustrating day if your single. This is the day where everything on TV and social media seems to be about couples. All you see are romantic comedies and posts about how a couple got together and about how someone just got engaged. Valentine’s Day is a day about love, all kinds of love, not just for couples though. In honor of Valentine’s Day, we should really take the time to love ourselves. Everything about yourself, your struggles, your hobbies, your interests and your BODY. Lingerie isn’t just something pretty to look at; it’s a gift to yourself that can help on the days where you feel discouraged. Gift yourself this Valentine’s Day with our teddy with contrasting lace overlay. Available from XS-1X! Once you treat yourself to clothing that is just for you, that fits well, feels soft and looks super sexy, you start to realize how amazing you actually look. Valentine’s day is about celebrating love, so you should start by loving yourself. Which bring us to our next point.
YOU NEED TO TREAT YOURSELF
There’s a lot of ways to treat yourself. For example, when I need to relax, I like to take a bubble bath. Then when I’m done, I slip into my softest lingerie. My favorite sleepwear that we offer is our charmeuse short length kimono robe and sexy chemise set. I just got one this year for Christmas and I LOVE it. Lingerie is meant to be sexy, but that doesn’t mean you have to buy it just for sex. You don’t even have to get something sexy. Just something that makes you feel good when you wear it. Something that is just for you.
BEING SINGLE SHOULD BE CELEBRATED
Contrary to popular belief, and everything that the media is going to sell you during the weeks leading into Valentine’s Day, you don’t have to be in a relationship to be happy. Being single is an amazing opportunity to do what you want when you want. You don’t have to plan around someone else, clean up after anyone else or consider their wants and needs. You have an incredible opportunity to go out into the world and do whatever you want. You don’t have to buy the red, heart motif lingerie because it’s the norm for Valentine’s day. Buy your favorite color because your lingerie is about you! You should celebrate by doing whatever you want on Valentine’s day. So, go try on our deep purple lace bustier set with underwire cups.
Whether you celebrate this Valentine’s Day with your lover, yourself or your fur baby, we have the right lingerie for you! Click any of the images to shop online, or you might even find some other fun things in our boutique for her such as jewelry or even a photo session.

October is over and we’re starting to talk about turkeys and awesome Black Friday deals. With Christmas right around the corner, it will be here sooner than you think. Are you concerned with the crazy Black Friday commotion or the last minute “oh crap, she has more presents for me than I have for her” panic? Buy her gifts a little early, and buy her something she’ll LOVE like this fishnet and lace bra and garter set. I understand lingerie shopping for men can be a little intimidating. A women’s store, weird sizes, everything’s lacy… but all of that awkwardness of buying your lady something really sexy can all be avoided if you take a look at these tips!
PAY ATTENTION TO HER COLORS
That doesn’t mean you should buy something in her favorite color. Her favorite color might be avocado green, but that doesn’t mean she feels sexy in avocado green. What colors does she wear throughout the week? Reds? Purples? If you aren’t sure, look in her closet and drawers and make note of what colors dominate her wardrobe. She bought all those clothes because she knows her skin tones and what looks good on her. She knows what colors make her feel confident. Above is our example of how this Sheer Plum Embroidered Lace Bra and Garter Skirt Set can empower her to feel nice or maybe a little naughty under her office cloths or perhaps, just for you as they’re own outfit. Now, wouldn’t this set be a perfect gift and the stockings would make a great “stocking suffer”?
CHECK HER PANTY SIZE
You’re going to have to do a little research for this one. Look in her lingerie drawer, and check some of the sizes on her panties. Check more than one pair because if she wears a medium in one brand, she may be a small in another. Just look at a couple of them and go with the size she has the most of. Then, after you figure out what her size or size range might be, come get her a cheeky pair of criss-cross detailed panties.
PAY ATTENTION TO HER STYLE
While you’re checking sizes in her lingerie drawer, pay attention to the styles of lingerie she has as this will indicate what she likes to wear. Does she only have bra’s and panties but not a lot of other lingerie? Does she like to wear bodysuits? Does she have more bikini style panties or G-strings and thongs? This will give you a better idea of what to get her. If she doesn’t own much or any lingerie, then this might be the perfect time to start her collection. Like this amazing lace teddy!
PICK OUT SOMETHING YOU LIKE!
You may be getting this for her, but she’s going to wear it for both of you. Make sure it’s something that you’ll love to see her in and take off of her! Something that fits her well, that looks good on her, and will make you just as happy as it makes her! Get her one of our “sexy working girl” lingerie costume sets because lingerie should be fun too.
If you’re still unsure about shopping for her, you can always have her log onto our website, create an account and have her add the things that she likes to her wish list. She can pick out all the sizes, styles, and colors she likes best and has the ability to share the wish list with you via email or text.
You can also be sure she’ll get what she wants by giving her an electronic Picture Perfect Lingerie gift card! I can assure you, there’s nothing to be nervous about! Our staff will help you every step of the way. We will find your lady something sexy that you both will love. You might even find some other fun things in our boutique for her such as jewelry or even a photo session. Oh, did I forget to mention that our boutique is located in our 2000 square foot photography studio? As an added bonus, WE ARE CONNECTICUT’S PREMIER BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO!
