Lingerie
Will your girlfriend, friend, or wife feel confident and sexy when she unwraps her present? Or maybe ill at ease and even insulted?
Lingerie can be a romantic gift to your girl if selected accurately, except that male buyers often purchase items their partners are not more than pleased to receive.
This worldwide setback was the topic of a recent United Kingdom survey, with results presenting half of the 24 million pairs of underwear given as gifts in the UK would never be worn.
The survey results by a laundry company showed that the most widespread offences were purchases that were either too racy, too undersized or just too big.
But some few tips from Bras N Things (BNT) lingerie buyer Natalie and the Ipswich BNT team can kick off the global trend.
Natalie said that finding the ideal item was all about attention to detail and the most excellent way to choose lingerie is to ask for help from the store team.
They are skilled professionals so one doesn’t need to be embarrassed when asking for their advice. She added. She also said that the most ill at ease mistake of purchasing the wrong size item could be avoided with a crumb of preparation because it is not easy to judge a woman’s cup size. Maybe try to sneak a peek in her lingerie drawer before you head out and purchase one.
Natalie said, in terms of lingerie styles, that it was all about knowing what your partner really liked. It’s nice to picture her wearing the ultra sexy suit you want to buy, but keep in mind that this is a present for her, and would she feel comfy wearing this? Purchase something that will suit her style, maybe choose one in her favourite colour. Worst case; purchase an item on-trend if men were still unsure.

It may not be the question as to what the dress looks like, it’s about who wore that one.
This may have answered why the new survey released revealed that the simple black dress worn by Audrey Hepburn in the film “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” has been named as the greatest female screen dress of all time.
The dress defeated highly famous outfits such as the wedding dress worn by Sarah Jessica Parker in the film “Sex And The City” or the sexy bikini worn by Ursula Andress in the Bond film “Dr. No”
The dress worn by Hepburn was reportedly designed by Givenchy and was accessorized with pearls and long black gloves. Viewers were able to see Hepburn wear this ensemble in the hit 1961 film.
Lovefilm magazine, the conductor of the survey, said that the simple black dress made a statement in the world of fashion despite being created several decades ago.
