Boudoir Lingerie Guide
Bra & Panty Sets
The most important thing is to choose sets flattering to you!
Classic. Sexy. Versatile. Bra and panty sets are a great go-to, especially when chosen to flatter your shape.
Choose a well-fitting bra – no side spillage or gapping
Skip the push-up styles for a more natural look on camera
Opt for cheeky or Brazilian panties for booty-flattering curves
High-waisted sets are amazing for tummy coverage while cinching your waist

Bodysuits & Teddys
Clients love these because they look great on every body.
Universal faves – flattering, forgiving, and fabulous.
Whether it’s lace, mesh, or leather – bodysuits and teddys are popular for a reason. They smooth the body, offer support, and photograph beautifully.
Teddys = Sheer, sultry, and lingerie-style
Bodysuits = Opaque, shapewear-style with tons of support
Great for covering stretch marks, scars, or areas you feel self-conscious about
Look for lace, mesh cutouts, underwire, or plunging necklines

Corsets, Bustiers, and Garter Belts
A corset and a bustier are very similar.
Bring the drama, darling. These timeless classics are all about shaping and structure.
Corsets: Great for defined waists and vintage vibes
Bustiers: Built-in bras for extra lift + coverage
Garter Belts: Add thigh-highs for a flirty, classic look
PRO TIP: Pair a corset with high-waisted panties and fishnets for a total knockout combo.
Clothing and Shape Wear
Clothing is a fantastic option for boudoir!
Yes, you can wear clothes! Think edgy, cozy, or just plain sexy.
A leather jacket + bra + panties = fierce energy
Oversized sweater or off-the-shoulder tee = cozy, intimate vibes
Fitted t-shirts > jerseys (they show off your body better)
Shapewear pieces can also double as sleek bodysuits

Just the Sheets + Nudes
Do I need to say anything else?!
Trust me – you’ll want to try this.
By the end of your session, most clients say that doing the sheet set or implied nudes felt the most empowering and liberating part of the day.
White sheet sets feel ethereal, soft, and timeless
Nudity is always tasteful and guided – you’ll never feel alone or unsure
These are often the most loved images
Nervous? That’s totally normal. Let’s talk about it before your shoot!
