    Default Lingerie Recommendations

    Help! I've probably lost my mind but I signed up to have Boudoir shots taken at the end of January for DH's valentines day present. I've always refused to let him take revealing photos of me and now I want my 20 year old body back! But since that's obviously not going to happen, I'm going to own this mom-bod. But I have NO lingerie. I actually tried on Honeymoon lingerie and well that's no longer happening, too small or no support. Does anyone have recommendations? Live vicariously through me. I'd prefer color (reds, purples) and I definitely need support for the girls.

    NSFW links to some I've considered:

    Default Lingerie Recommendations

    I just used a black lacy bra and matching underwear. Pics were better in black and white. I did mine myself (self timer), and they came out really well. This was several years ago.

    If you have a more hour glass figure, I think traditional bikini style bottoms are more flattering that boys shorts (like in the lingerie you linked.)

    good for you!
    I have a friend who owns a NYC studio called "own your sexy". There are people of all body types who come in for shoots. You might want to look at her site to get some ideas of what to wear.

    I would look for something less fitted through the bodice unless you are super slim. Play up your girls, something more flowing. I did not find that first one even flattering on the model.

    I think deep purple is so sexy, and of course black always kills!

    definitely. From what I see on her fb feed, I would guess the average age is around 40. Just take a look at her web site and blog.

    I would suggest black and white photos, for sure. They are much softer and flattering, usually.

    Thanks for the link, her website is definitely helpful! I wish I had that Dream Closet to choose from.
