Tips from Underneath It All, A girl's guide to buying, wearing and loving lingerire

Directly from Chapter 4, Sizing Matters, A perfect fit for every body type.

Fit is number one on your list when it comes to buying lingerie you love, If you're bulging out in the wrong spots or you're not making the most of your God-given assets, then you need to reassess what's right for you. After all, lingerie is all about feeling good and looking sexy. The basics of great-fitting lingerie are simple:
-Choosing pieces that complement your body type and height
-Selecting lingerie that complements your breast shape and size
-Establishing your bra size, ideally with professional help
-Consider panty style
-Picking panties that complement your derriere

Women come in all shapes and sizes. It's what makes us unique, special and eternally frustrated when we can't fit into the latest designer trend.

Here are some tips for you based on your body type:

Apple: Wear babydolls. They'll show off your nice legs and small booty. The best-fitting lingerie for you, Apple, tends to accentuate your ample bosom and slim legs while discreetly covering your tummy.
Pear: Wear an A-line chemise or gown that hits below the booty to create sleek lines. Pair a sheer camisole or bra with a boyshort. It will highlight your upper assets while providing coverage for your curvaceous caboose.
Hourglass: Show off your curves by wearing bra and panty sets and body-hugging teddies or chemises.
Sporty: Wear a two-piece set, such as cropped camisole with a thong, in dark or contrasting colors, to give you the illusion of curves.

This is my fare thee well....

This will be my final post to the Bellefleur Lingerie Blog, because this is my final hour here at the store. It is pretty emotional and so devastating to say that I will no longer be at Bellefleur. In progression with my education I have had to make some hard decisions and now will be going to Neiman Marcus. My time at Bellefleur is something I will never forget. I learned so much from Jennifer and the other girls I got to work with as well as all of my lovely customers. I am so thankful for you letting me educate and help you all with such an intimate detail as lingerie and trusting me to do so. So I will not be moving on to "greener pasture" (as Jennifer put) but just a larger one. But who knows you may see me around again if Jennifer decides to open another location someday [hint, hint, nudge, nudge] ;) So again I would like to say thank you to everyone. This was an experience of a lifetime and I will cherish it forever!

Jennifer collaborated with Kathy Schultz to bring to us a book that every women, young and old, should have on her shelf. Underneath It All, A girls guide to buying wearing and loving lingerie. By Jennifer Manuel Carroll and Kathy Schultz. We will give more fun and exciting updates on that soon. But right now we want to hear from our lovely guests at Bellefleur who helped inspire Jennifer to write this guide, because lets be honest, without all of you she wouldn't have had to write it at all right?

So here is what we would like from you. Give us your testimony of your experience at our lovely store. I know I personally have helped hundreds if women in my time working here and I would love to hear what you remember from your time with us. Did it change your life? Were you completely flabbergasted at the result? Anything you can think of, we want to hear it. So spill your juicy stories ladies because this is all about you!
