Stores like Bare Necessities and Fredericks of Hollywood have a wide assortment of romantic lingerie gifts. A romantic gift of lingerie is something that many women can appreciate. Women like to feel beautiful and sexy. The gift of lingerie will let a woman know that she is seen as sexy and that her figure is considered beautiful by her partner. Since all women are different, what they like can sometimes be difficult to assess. If you would like to buy romantic apparel for that special someone, there are a few things you should take into consideration to ensure that the gift is well received.

Size

Do your research to get the right sizing. You need three basic bits of information:

Bra size: number plus letter (Note that this is normally in inches, but some shops are now switching to metric)
Dress size
General size XS (Extra Small), S (Small), M (Medium), L (Large) or XL (Extra Large)

Fabric

It is always wise to choose natural fabrics that breathe. Silk is a favorite because it is sensuous and will feel good on the recipient's skin. Leather might be the choice for a bold, sexy, confident woman. Consider lace for a young woman or one who is shy. See-through or netting is for the woman who does not mind showing off her body. And remember, you can never go wrong with satin.

Style

There are a variety of lingerie products to choose from, including bra and panty sets, teddies, negligees, peignoirs, slips, gowns and robes. When choosing lingerie, base your choice of style and color selection on outfits the recipient wears and that will be flattering to her body frame. See-through lingerie will not go over well if her preference for outer wear is tailored clothing, although she may prefer a robe and lingerie set.

For the woman who wears dresses, select feminine-looking lingerie. For the younger woman who dresses in cut-offs and midriffs, you may consider a sexy piece of lingerie. Lingerie comes in an assortment of colors, so select your gift based on colors that dominate her closet or perhaps items that match her eye color. For plus-sized women, select dark colors to give a slimming look. Only choose form-fitting lingerie that hugs the body if she is fit, to accentuate her flat stomach and well-toned bottom. Avoid lingerie that clings to body parts she tends to camouflage. The last thing to keep in mind is to be sure you choose a lingerie style that will flatter her figure, which she will feel comfortable wearing.

Once you have chosen the perfect garment, remember to have it properly gift wrapped. Part of the pleasure of receiving a romantic gift is the package in which it comes. Select gift wrapping that is pretty and feminine. If you can't wrap it yourself, pay a little extra for the professional gift wrapping service. As an added personal touch, be sure to attach a sentimental card that all women enjoy receiving.
