Have you discovered Shapewear Lingerie
So, what about that lingerie they call shapewear? Even some of our skinniest Spanish and French friends are wearing these base layers. And curvy German and British ladies are crying out for the non-surgical nip and tuck they promise. Shapewear started out in life as bodices and girdles, rather ugly looking ducklings to be banished under clothing but it's all changed now. In white, black and flesh tones, this most modern of lingerie literally disappears under clothing, sleeking away any lumps and bumps in your figure, holding in waists, slimming and firming thighs to create a smooth line under dresses and skirts that ensure they skim from the hip and never cling.
If you are looking to flaunt spaghetti or no straps with bandeau tops and even wedding dresses in exactly the same way as straight up and down Parisian girls do you need strapless lingerie with plenty of uplift. You'll not only feel in control of your curves but your clothes will actually look and fit better too. Invest in some tummy control knickers too and see the difference they make to your waist under trousers. The great news is, they're easy to find online so you avoid the embarrassment of going into a shop to ask for control pants. Plus theses days they are comfortable and affordable too.
Choose Specialist Bras Delivered to your European Door
If you have a svelte Mediterranean figure but are lacking in the bust you might want to try a little uplifting underwear. Many of the leading lingerie brand names offer a great selection of balcony bras, padded gel bras, moulded push up bras or plunge designs that create and enhance cleavage as well as help shape, lift and define your bust.
Equally if you have a larger bust, it's so important to be wearing the right bra size and shape to create a flattering look, support your figure and protect your back. With online retailers from the UK offering sizes up to 50G delivered to your door, it's never been easier to choose specialist body sculpting lingerie to make the most of your figure.
Before you order, always measure yourself regularly as women's bra sizes can change with diet, exercise and age. Look out for retailers selling minimiser designs that can make your bust look smaller, soft cup bras with wide and cushioned straps for comfort across your shoulders because if you feel comfortable you'll carry your clothes with more confidence. Some website also offer front fastening bras that are less fiddly to manage if you have limited mobility.
Above all don't get stuck in a rut with your lingerie. It's said that French women spend up to 20% of their annual salary on lingerie - and never save it for a special occasion. European women see looking and feeling fabulous as part of their everyday lives. And style wise it really pays off, so isn't it time ex-pat British women did the same?
