be able to get away with wearing baby blue and pink pastels. However, most women look best in the winter palette which includes rich jewel tones as well as the basic black and white.

Choose styles that flaunt your favorite assets. A bustier is designed to draw attention to your cleavage. The similarly designed corset accents your waist. I recommend using a corset more for show than for shaping so you can take your partner's breath away (while still being able to breathe yourself).

The teddy can be playful or sensuous depending on style and mood. Choose one that is well made and won't tear the first time you wear it. Cut outs and keyhole styles let you choose where to lead the eye. Wear a diaphanous robe over your teddy at the beginning of an intimate evening to add even more mystery.

If you prefer to draw attention away from your midsection and down to your fabulous legs, go for floating baby doll night gowns or silky camisoles on top. Pair these items with V-front panties and a garter belt for very a flattering look

Are you sensitive about your hips? Try a chemise (basically a mini-dress) which offers more coverage of this area. Ruffles and lace can distract from cellulite, so pick something flirty and fun.

Thigh high hose with elastic tops are great for everyday wear; but they do leave groove marks in your legs for a while after you take them off. Use a garter belt and non-elasticized thigh highs instead for romance. Don't forget to add at least one pair of fishnets to your lingerie wardrobe. Paired with any outfit, these add just the right saucy touch.
