WARDROBE GLOSSARY
YOUR BIRTHDAY SUIT
- you’ll be strategically draped in a sheet to hide or show as much or as little as you like
- if you’re feeling modest, you can wear a flimsy pair of undies
- even if you’re nervous about baring all, I promise that this is all in a day’s work for us. We’ve seen hundreds of boobies and we won’t photograph your naughty bits (not our jam).
BODYSUIT
A universally flattering garment. It’s easy to wear and gives a lot of posing options.
- Look for vertical or hourglass lines and sheer panels.
- Fabrics with more structure smooth curves.
- Underwire lifts the bust. If it doesn’t come with a built-in bra, consider layering over a bra.
SLIP
The style and fabric of this garment is extremely important.
- Avoid satin slips. It will cling in the wrong places and reflects light (making your body look bigger in photos).
- Lace, fishnet, and jersey materials are stretchy fabrics that flatter. Really want to look smooth? Find a pretty shaper slip.
- The fit should skim your body. If it floats away in the babydoll style, it will add visual weight to your mid-section.
BRA + PANTIES
A timeless sexy option that comes in so many different styles and colors.
- If you have a natural bust larger than a b cup - underwire will give you a wonderful boost no matter what position we put you in.
- The back coverage should either be Brazilian, cheeky or full coverage… the flimsy g-strings do no favors.
- High-waisted does not equal matronly, it equals high fashion and you won’t have to worry about sucking in.
- If the underwear is quite skimpy in front, consider a garter belt with a bit more coverage.

cardigan
slouchy sweater
pretty kimono style robe
Mummy Tummy
high waisted underwear is flattering
make sure your underwear can be pulled up past any rolls you don’t want emphasized
bodysuits make everyone look great
shaper slips can be so sexy
consider adding a garter belt to a bra and panty set
Butt
the cut of your undies matters, so find a cheeky or Brazilian style
buy a new pair of undies with pretty details
if your slip comes with a sling-shot style g-string, throw it away and find a pair of panties that matches.
Legs
a higher cut will lengthen your legs, but there’s no need to go super Baywatch style.
avoid stockings that come to mid-thigh for fear of muffin top
to-the-waist fishnets are sexy and flattering
