UNDRESS TO IMPRESS! ESTHER FIELDGRASS ON HOW TO MAKE THE BIG REVEAL COUNT

Esther Fieldgrass, founder of luxury lingerie boutique Petits Bisous, explains how to make the big reveal count.
'I find that very few women are happy with the way they look. Even women with great bodies will usually find some feature that they dislike,' explains Esther.
'Consequently, they are often apprehensive when getting undressed in front of their partner. When you feel great in the lingerie you wear, you'll be confident in the bedroom and we can guarantee happy endings all round!'
HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT PANTS FOR YOUR BODY SHAPE
Pear shapes: 'If you have a fantastic shapely bottom then why not show it off with a silky thong or lacey brazilian cut brief,' says Esther.
'If you don't like to show your bum then a high waisted knicker will emphasise the small waist and curve of the thighs.'
Hourglass: 'If you are a D cup or over, be sure to choose an underwired bra and try to find one with broader straps to help carry the load.
'There are plenty of sexy and exciting fuller-bust brands available these days such as Harlow & Fox, which provides luxurious pieces in silk and leavers lace with a vintage pin-up feel specifically for D to G cup sizes.'
Apple: 'If you carry your weight around your middle and are not comfortable with your stomach then try a high waisted knicker, these cover the mid-section while contouring the figure.'
Tubular: 'If you are lucky enough to have a small bust then you have a very easy task when it comes to buying bras.
'Try a delicate, soft triangle or demi-cup bra in a seductive sheer mesh or delicate lace. Or, if you crave bigger cleavage, choose a slightly padded or push-up bra to enhance your natural assets.'
DON'T FORGET... TOP TIPS FOR MEN
'Choose silks, satins and laces, unless you're into BDSM, in which case anything goes! We welcome gentlemen into our boutiques every day, and our trained style advisors will be happy to help you choose the right gift for her.
'A final note of advice: giving the gift of lingerie isn't just about sex, it's about foreplay too. For a woman, unwrapping layer upon layer of tissue paper to reveal a luxurious lingerie set instantly ups the sexual tension.
'Tell her when you want her to wear it. Tell her what you want her to do in it. Make the dressing and undressing part of the experience.'
