Naughty and Nice Lingerie

Hello fellow ebayers,

There's nothing quite like the feel of lingerie against your skin.  Intimate apparel is sexy, whether it's silk, lace, spandex or faux silk.  It can also be practical and serviceable - a good, solid foundation garment.  No matter what kind of lingerie you're looking for, you can find it on the web.

Most of the stores famous for their lingerie have websites, form Victoria's Secret to Frederick's of Hollywood.  If you are familiar with the store, you have a head start on lingerie shopping, especially when it comes to knowing what size you need to order.  Otherwise, consult sizing charts online (or provided by the website you are interested in).  Another suggestion would be to go try on articles from specific brand lines, if you are unfamiliar with them, to see how they fit YOUR body.  Not all manufacturers cut products the same way.  So while you may look absolutely perfect in a large chemise by Fantasy, it may be a little snug and unflattering by another manufacturer.  So I suggest trying to do the homework on the particular brand, prior to actually purchsing it on the web, so you are not dissappointed when it arrives. 

Do not be afraid to ask questions.  Here at Naughty and Nice Lingerie, I check my mail often, and then check it again...LOL!  I try to answer all questions honestly, as I do not want someone to purchase lingerie and then just "stuff it" in the back of the lingerie drawer, never to be seen again.  That's not good business, and doesn't produce repeat customers.  I want you to have a pleasant and satisfying experience when you shop here.  And do not forget: Lingerie makes a wonderful gift.

Shopping tips:

Get details about the garment.  Since the web is strictly a "look, don't touch" place, make sure you know what fabric the garment is made of.  Where was it manufactured?  Is it washable? What colors are available?  If it is not listed, ask.

Be clear about the price.  Don't forget to factor in the delivery cost.  Can you get the same lingerie more cheaply at your local mall?  Is the shipping cost worth saving a trip (these days, with the gas prices, I think so!!)  Also check out the delivery policy: How long do you have to wait for that special something?  I take pride in having a turnaround time of about a week (from my door to yours) as soon as payment is made.  I know when I order something, I want it yesterday, so I try my best to service customers int he most timely of fashions.

Check out the company's credentials.  Go to the Better Business Bureau to see if any complaints have been registered.  Or, in ebay's case, check the feedback score.  Unfortunately, there will be misunderstandings which may lead to a bad ebay experience, but when you read the same complaint over and over, such as "This seller is a thief!" or "Package never received," then you really need to find another seller.

Understand the return policy.  What restrictions are there for returning lingerie that doesn't fit, or isn't what you expected?  How long do you have to try out the product?  Can you get your money back - or only credit at the site?  Certain states have laws against trying on articles and returns.  Some sellers have policies to protect themselves and there customers, which is understandable with lingerie.  My advice is to be certain on the brand or measurements when purchasing an item that is a final sale.  Again, do not be afraid to ask questions.

Take your measurements correctly.  For accuracy, it's best to have a friend perform this task.  Measure with your bra on for garments that go over the chest.  Then carefully check out the sizing charts for each company.  The variation in size is incredible.  VS has a size that reads XL, but is the equivalent to a medium in the Fantasiawear chart. 

It may sound challenging, but it really isn't difficult to purchase lingerie on the web.  The web opens the door to infinite possibilies on making your lingerie day comfortable, and evening exotic.  Have fun with it.  At Naughty and Nice Lingerie, I try to entice both your naughty and nice side and hope I can always satisfy both urges.  I carry a variety of brands, sizes and styles.  Take a look around and hope to see you shopping at Naughty and Nice Lingerie soon.
