The Idiot's Guide To Buying Lingerie

Of course the first thing to remember when buying lingerie for someone special is that it’s not about you. Your credit card and fantasies may be playing a big part in the purchase, but ultimately, it’s your lass who’s going to don the sexy lingerie. Essentially is she is a girly girl with a love for sugar and spice and all things pink? In which case rubber vinyl and a matching ball gag may get you as far as the curb with a restraining order in pocket!

Secret Agent Mission: Scope out Lingerie
We recommend that you take note of what she likes to wear, which items are her favourite or which lingerie ads take her interest and which sexy lingerie appeals to her. Is she partial to body hugging corsets or frilly babydolls?

Cup size crisis? Simply venture a peek into the naughty lingerie drawer whilst the missus is taking a shower or flash a glance at the size label as you’re peeling off the layers! Although with the best intentions at heart, many a man has hit a sensitive nerve with their lady love when presenting some saucy lingerie which was either too small or too big! Check and then double check sizes and stay out of the dog box!

Keep in mind that not all women are one hundred percent proportionate. Just because your girl may be small on top does not mean things fare the same for her derriere! Some ladies, although modest in the bust department, may have a sizeable booty. Nothing kills romantic intentions more than alluding that your love’s bum is even bigger than you thought!

ASSTASTIC
G-strings, Thongs, Brazilians and Boy shorts, enough to distract a man in a heartbeat! But, do you know the difference between a thong and a g-string? Most importantly, what does your lover prefer? Simply ask yourself this: how much of her bottom can you normally see?
Think back a little and you’re bound to find the answer! Is it:-

Answer 1: All of it – she’s a fan of the sexy thong (You lucky man!)
Answer 2: None of it – she likes the fuller panties- Brazilian boy shorts, Ruffled Knickers
Answer 3: Her panties are being eaten by the bum monster - you’ve picked a G-string

BOOBALICIOUS
Time to figure out if your girl goes for padded, sheer or bikini style bras! Take some time out to admire (whilst actually making some mental notes) her bra the next time you get cosy. Yes, her bra guys, the bra! We’re not talking about taking in the sheer wonder of her cleavage here! If her breasts seem a bit larger than you remember from the last time she was in the buff, chances are she’s wearing a padded bra.
Now that you have the sizes and small details in check, it’s time to decide which style would suit your partner. You didn’t think sizes would be the end of it did you?

CORSETS & BUSTIERS KNOW YOUR B’S FROM YOUR C’S.

Our modern day Cinderella is getting all dressed to the nines with operation “Prince Seduction” in her sights. But she is at a bit of a loss, for she has two draw dropping secret agents from which to choose, a slinky silky bustier or a lace up, black corset. Enter fairy godmother, her name of course, Matilda! Now Matilda the fairy godmother is quite an ace when it comes to some saucy advice so, to try help out our damsel in sexual distress, she offers up some insider information so that dear Cinders can make an educated and effective sexy lingerie decision…

Remember your B’s – Bountiful Breasts Behold the Bustier!


Bustiers; these undercover lingerie agents are all for taking your breasts to new heights – literally. Whether worn as a bustier top or as an undercover bosom builder, bustiers are figure forming garments which push up your breasts creating the sort of cleavage that will render men helpless – they just won’t be able to tear away their eyes! Remember that bustiers were made with breasts in mind, so don’t expect much in the waist reduction department. Style and fabric dependent, bustiers can also be worn as a sexy top – with superb cup definition, your breasts will be the best dressed in town. Add some thigh high silk stockings, a gorgeous garter belt and you’re on the road to immediate seduction.

Don’t Forget Your C’s – Curvy, Classic Corsets



Too fabulous for words, corsets are great for getting that sexy hourglass figure, the svelte silhouette which makes men weak at the knees. Although corsets are not known for their outstanding comfort, they do offer the sort of results that will make you happy to shrug off the possibility of a little discomfort. Corsets define and cinch in the waist, sometimes reducing the appearance of the waistline by as much as two inches! Now that’s nothing to dismiss! What’s more, the corset bra was designed to push up the bust creating a deeper cleavage, but unlike the bustier isn’t known for superior cup definition. Sturdier than bustiers, corsets will tuck you into an elegant and classically curvaceous figure.

Regardless of whether you’re a dominatrix looking for an under bust corset or corset brassiere, or a hopeless romantic after a vintage lace-up or a classic corset top or even a new bride with an eye for a bridal corset to turn up the heat on her wedding night, you can be sure there is a corset out there with your name on it.

It goes without saying that Matilda’s stocks the very best in both bustiers and corsets in her luxury lingerie boudoir, so stop on by and get yourself a little lace something to get those boys feeling more than just a little perky.
