Lingerie

[Guest]

Hi all,

I've been visiting this forum for a while, and finding myself in need of some help/advise.

It is my wifes 30th bday in a few weeks, and I was thinking of getting her some sexy lingerie/dress etc. Any suggestions on what/where to get it from.

Thanks

Senator

Aren't you the romantic hubby?

Most women seem to really like Victoria's Secret. I know I do. I can't get my s.o. within 20 feet of the place, but I do see a lot of men in there. The sales ladies are usually helpful.

If you don't know her size, do some snooping through her underwear drawer before you go shopping and get her bra and underwear size. You can check it out online, too. http://www.victoriassecret.com/

Thanks for the replies so far, one more question, for the ladies -

Would you appreciate your s/o buying you sexy lingerie?

I mean, I think its nearly as much for my viewing pleasure (lets face it, I am likely to buy something that appeals to me) as it is for her own pleasure.

If the ladies like the thought of receiving such a gift, any suggestions. I have looked at fredericks of Hollywood and victorias seceret, and seem to be lost for too much choice.

Thanks again

I love lingerie. An ex used to take me to Fredericks of Holloywood everytime I got mad at him to get himself out of the doghouse. Throw in a cute pair of shoes, and he was well on his way...

Check her sizes definately. DO NOT show up with a size 24 cause you think she has a 24" waist...not the same thing....

If she is short, get her something that is knee length. If she is tall, then you can do the ankle length. I have one that is black satin with silver lace accents. It is floor length and has a slit up one leg with a bell skirt. I love it and it is beyond sexy, but long stuff makes short women look even shorter. Also, if it doesn't come with matching panties, get those too. I love having my SO lift up my lingerie to find a naughty pair of matching panties...

Check out what she likes though...if she is a very conservative woman, DO NOT brink home a red latex teddy with matching riding crop. Its generally a good rule, if you cant picture her i n it, dont buy it...

Another option is always this - take her to the mall, blindfold her, lead her to the store and then let her see, and the two of you pic something out together...then she can try it on and make sure it fits right. Good luck

Well, really you need to try to suit her personality. Is she very soft/feminine/frilly....do you see her in your mind in soft pastel colors with lace and frills, almost virginal, bridal like? Or do you see her in a more bold manner? Try as best you can to find something that represents what she exudes sexually...her mood and sensuality. She will want and need to feel good and be comfortable...she will want the lingerie to speak her mood with her.

Try a search for lingerie, there are many sites other than the 2 mentioned. Fredericks is very large, I imagine it would be overwhelming, and Victorias Secret is a little bland, everything is all the same.

By the way, I think this is a very nice gesture on your part. I would like to add that if she seldom wears lingerie, and you've never bought clothing for her (or atleast not often), be prepared for the fact that you may strike out. She may not even know what she likes, so tell her when you give it to her that you won't mind if she would like to exchange it. Then the two of you can shop together, and you might just suprise eachother.....

I hope it goes very nicely for you.

I believe Lingerie is a good idea.

Here is a site I like to use.

http://www.theraceylady.com

They have a good selection.

 

[princessa]

if you've never done it before with her, go personally together to victoria's secret or get a gift certificate... most women would appreciate it BUT if it's the right size and looks alright... better be safe than sorry the first time before you know what her reaction is...

 

[BabyBruceJBS]

Hmm...Surprised no one mentioned it, but Frederick's of Hollywood is still around. Website and stores. check Frederick's of Hollywood for a store or just order from there!

Good luck!

Oh, and I LOVE lingerie. Just make sure that you get her the right size and it is something she will actually wear. Sexy is OK...but leave the really racy stuff for YOUR birthday!

Frederick's also has some cool clothing....as does Victoria's Secret.

I hate to be the voice of dissention (who am I kidding? I love being the voice of dissention!) but before you buy lingerie for your wife's birthday ask yourself if it's what SHE would want.

There are a LOT of women out there (not on Lit...let's face it, the women on this site are NOT average in their views on sexuality!) who would receive lingerie for their birthday and think to themselves, "oh goody. he got himself a present for my birthday. "

In addition to that, if your wife has any serious self-image problems then the purchase is fraught with potential problems. If you get something too large she'll think you think she's fatter than she is. If you get her something too small she'll think you're hinting that she needs to lose weight. That is if she is of that bent, I mean. Not all women would have that reaction, of course.

If your wife loves sex, embraces her sexuality and knows that she's the hottest bitch to ever walk G-d's green earth, I say go for it!

Thanks for all your replies, very helpful.

I have opted out of the racey lingerie thing, too difficult to size at the moment (should have mentioned, she is breastfeeding our 6 week old).

I had though the lingerie as a way to let her know she is still as sexy to me now as before he was born (not to mention the marvelous things that have happened to her breasts).

Am tending towards a day at a health spa, facials, massage, manicure etc, a day of self indulgence for her.

Again, thanks.

sexy clothing right after giving birth may not be the best idea---I think the spa thing is a better one.
Something I thought of would be for you to do some stuff around the house. Is there anything that she's been asking you to do around the house (do it while she's gone). Also, you could cook a nice meal and have it ready for when she gets back from the spa. Make her feel appreciated, loved, and like the center of your universe.

Senator, you are definitely on to smething. I would be thrilled if my man did that for me. A great idea if you arent strapped for cash. And I totally agree with curvacious. Doing housework and/or having dinner ready when she comes home is a fabulous idea.
