Welcome to Part 1 of my What to Wear for Your Boudoir Session series — where we break down different types of lingerie and exactly why they work so beautifully on different body types.
If you’re planning a boudoir photography session and staring at your closet thinking, “What on earth do I wear?!” , take a deep breath. I’ve got you.
Choosing lingerie for your boudoir session doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. The truth? There is no “perfect” body for boudoir. There is only your body — and we’re going to dress it in something that makes you feel confident, powerful, and just a little bit dangerous (in the best way 😉).
As a Grand Rapids boudoir photographer, I help women of all shapes and sizes choose outfits that flatter their body type and photograph beautifully. Welcome to Part 1 of my What to Wear for Your Boudoir Session series — where we break down different types of lingerie and exactly why they work so beautifully on different body types.
Bodysuits: Universally Flattering & Effortlessly Sexy
Best for:
-
Tummy-conscious clients
-
Curvy body types
-
Athletic builds
-
Postpartum mamas
-
Literally everyone
Bodysuits are the MVP of boudoir lingerie. Why? They smooth the midsection, highlight the waist, and elongate the legs — all at once.
If you love your bust, a plunging neckline draws attention upward. If you prefer more coverage through your stomach, lace or mesh panels create softness without hiding your shape. Long-sleeve lace bodysuits are especially stunning for women who feel self-conscious about their arms (and photograph beautifully in moody studio lighting).
