Buying lingerie for your partner can be really rewarding when done correctly. There are three main factors to think about when buying for your partner.
Size The best way to determine your partner’ s bra size is to look at the bra labels of their most commonly worn bras. You should also look to see what the styles are if there is a difference in sizing. For example, if your partner is a 34B in a balconette bra, they might be a 32C in a plunge bra. This is called sister sizing which often occurs across brands and bra styles.
To determine your partner’ s underwear size, again a rummage through their drawers will tell you if they are a size XS S M L XL or 8, 10, 12, 14 etc …
Bodies and night slips are often in clothing sizes or XS S M L XL. Check your partner’ s tighter fitting clothes or lingerie as a guide when buying a body suit. Check a dress for night slip sizes.
Style In bra and knickers, selecting similar styles to those your partner already has is the safer move. You want them to like the gift. They will know what styles suit and flatter them the best so you should encourage their decisions. If your partner doesn’ t have a thong in their drawer, do not buy a thong. They might not find this particular style comfortable and it would therefore be a wasted gift.
If your partner does not own a lot of lingerie, we would recommend buying a night slip as we do not believe you can go wrong offering your partner beautiful nightwear as well as something that is acceptable to walk around the house in.
