See below for some of Rachel's lingerie tips and secrets:
BODY TYPES
PEAR SHAPE: Opt for an empire-waisted babydoll nightie that hits mid-thigh, especially with a halter neckline to emphasize breasts and shoulders. If you prefer a two-piece ensemble, choose a top that draws attention to the upper body, such as bold colors and/or embellishments. For the bottoms, choose high cut briefs to lengthen legs, with moderate coverage in the back. Bottoms with adjustable string ties work great to achieve the perfect fit.
Avoid: Boy cut shorts or nightgowns that are cut straight.
PLUS SIZE: Chemises in satin or fabrics that will softly drape the curves work best. Black or darker colors work great to camouflage, while adding a pop of bold color at the bust is a sexy way to attract the eye. A thin side slit also works great for showing legs. Another option is the teddy, which smoothes curves and creates a waistline; opt for one with built-in bust support. Add a silk kimono over it for added coverage and sophistication.
Avoid: Light colors, anything too sheer, skinny straps and fabrics that are very clingy and tight, such as leather, latex or velvet.
LARGE HIPS/BUTT: Chemises with an A-line design in a double-ply sheer, flowy fabric will provide a soft but sexy look that minimizes hips. Well-cut underwear with a silk pajama top or babydoll camisole work well to balance out the bottom half. Or try pairing a camisole with satiny shorts for a playful, flirty, feminine look that still provides coverage for the hip area.
Avoid: Items such as corsets and bustiers that will cinch the waist � it will only further emphasize the larger bottom half. Also anything too tight and stretchy over the hips, and underwear cut too skimpy (no skinny side strings that may dig into hips).
TALL & THIN: Garter belts are perfect for this body type. They highlight the legs while the horizontal belt balances the body. Top it off with a sexy bra and lace boy shorts for an irresistible look.
Avoid: One-piece teddies and straight chemises � they won't give much shape and will only make you look lankier.
TUMMY ISSUES: A teddy with lycra is the best bet, as it will help hold in the tummy, as will a bustier or corset cut long enough to cover the belly. You can also opt for a softly draping camisole with undies.
Avoid: Just a bra and panty ensemble, as it will leave the belly exposed (unless the panty is a 1940's-inspired design cut high on the tummy).
LARGE BUST/PETITE "BOYISH" HIPS: Opt for corset tops that suck in the waist area, giving the illusion of more rounded hips. Make sure the corset has built-in bust support. Adding skimpy undies will elongate the legs, while embellishments such as ruffles or bows will help the hips look curvier.
Avoid: Boy cut shorts, as they make the hips look square, and empire-waisted nighties that hide the slim figure below.
"MUST-HAVES"
� Candlelight � The must-have accessory for creating a cozy love nest. Everyone looks great in candlelight!
� Come Hither Hair � Whatever your hairstyle is, don't be afraid to try something different. Soft romantic curls, added volume and extensions are great ways to add effect. Keep hair soft and touchable, use great-smelling hair products and try shine enhancer for added brilliance.
� Unforgettable Makeup � Get bedroom glam with smoky bedroom eyes or bright red lips. Kissable lips are a must so prep them first by buffing and exfoliating, followed by a nourishing lip balm. When they're ready for color, opt for a sexy, shiny gloss. Add drama to your eyes with smoky color and false eyelashes.
� Powders and Potions � Give your skin a glow and highlight your d�colletage, neck, etc. with products like Kama Sutra Shimmering Edible Honey Dust, Kama Sutra Chocolate Cr�me Brule, Benefit Kitten Powder, Crabtree & Evelyn White Tea & Birch Body Mist, Body Bling by Scott Barnes and Benefit Flamingo Fancy Tinted Moisturizer.
� Figure Enhancements � Fashion Forms Extreme Silicone Plunge Bra, thigh high stockings, garters and garter belts are instant "get sexy" items.
� Accessories � Crystal tattoos, slinky arm bands and belly chains are sure to spice up any outfit. Long satin gloves, tiaras, bejeweled bras, lace-up sandals and decorative pasties are great items for role-playing fun.
