Yes ladies, it’s one of my favourite lingerie events of the year, Valetines day. People always seem to get down on this time of year, as they see it as a waste of time and another commercial holiday.
A part of me agrees, but I think that it does not matter if you are single or in a relationship, use Valentine’s Day as a day to love yourself and your life.
If you are single have a Valentine’s night with the girls, we see Carrie and Mirander go on a Valentines meal in the Sex and the City Movie.
If you are in a relationship, don’t worry aboFut buying each other expensive gifts (even though it is very nice, don’t get me wrong) but enjoy the relationship that you have. And of course, if you are in either of these situations, treat yourself to some new sexy lingerie.
Not only will it boost your confidence it will boost you mood and attitude towards your bodies. So below I have scouted out my favourite lingerie stores to bring you…
M&S Lingerie Helps Women Fake the Hourglass - No Matter What Body Shape!
The hourglass figure was well and truly on display at last month’s Emmy Awards, with the likes of Christina Hendricks and Kate Winslet pouring their curves into stunning dresses on the red carpet.
However, not all women can be blessed with a big bust, a tiny waist and silky smooth hips, and so M&S is offering quick lingerie fixes to help ladies transform their figure and give the illusion of a much sought-after hourglass silhouette.
Apple to hourglass
Apple shaped ladies are likely to have a good bust and legs, but with weight stored around the tummy - so all that’s needed is some crafty waist synching.
This cincher creates a fashionable hourglass silhouette with its panel design, shaping the tummy and waist whilst still allowing women to wear their own lingerie.
Pear to hourglass
Pear-shaped ladies tend to have fairly bighips or thighs with a slimmer top half and a pretty flat tummy. So, it’s important to draw as much attention as possible to the waist and boost the cleavage.
This lightweight push-up bra is designed for maximum impact and will doubtlessly draw the eye to the upper body. The clever padding gives the appearance of a cleavage 2 cup sizes larger and the bra can been worn with the straps at the back for an extra cleavage boost.
Strawberry to Hourglass
Those with an inverted triangle, or strawberry, body shape will probably have big boobs and/or broad shoulders with a narrow waist and hips. When trying to achieve the perfect hourglass illusion there’s not too much work to do; it’s all about adding shape to those slim hips.
This waist slip is a practical essential that strawberries shouldn’t be without. It's perfect for enhancing the look of dresses and skirts and adding volume to the lower body.
Banana to Hourglass
Rectangle-shaped ladieswill be fairly straight up and down, and the stark opposite to an hourglass, making this the trickiest transformation of all! That’s not to say that it’s impossible though.
This firm control body gently shapes a rectangle figure all over for a smoother, sleeker silhouette. Its padded cups will add curves to the top half, so that all that’s needed is a full-skirted to dress to bulk out the bottom half.
And for the Natural Hourglasses
Real hourglasses will have a similarly sized bust and hips, with a much smaller, defined waist. This figure needs making the most of with vintage-style lingerie from the original hourglass era.
