Shopping for a friend or loved one is a tough task, especially when you don't know what size she is. Well, with a little bit of research, your gift can be just perfect for her! Here are some suggestions we like to offer our customers when they are in a fix and want to shop for a sexy gift!

Study Her
- Check out the way she wears her clothes overall. Does she look comfortable or stiff? Use your judgement and be objective.

Ask Her
- This just means that you'll have to subtly ask her how she feels in what she's wearing. If you are considering a sexy gift, be subtle with your question.

Find out Her Favorites
- Does she love a certain bra or bra set for a reason? If she does, don't forget what it looks like because you'll need it. If she likes a bra with complete coverage, make sure to make a note to shop for full coverage. If she likes a more pronounced cleavage, a demi cup bra may be the answer. Does she like to look bustier? Then she might prefer a padded bra for an enhanced form. Does she wear t-shirts all the time? Maybe, a seamless bra is more her thing. Would she look great just enhancing her form? Then maybe a push-up bra is all she needs.

As far as panties go, make sure to find out if she likes bikini style panties. Maybe she likes to show her midriff. If so, she'll probably like the lowrise panties that are out! If she doesn't like any panty lines, maybe thongs are the answer. Make sure to look at the leg of the panties, too. Panties have high cut (French-cut) legs or standard cuts.

Find out Her Favorite Maker
- Shopping for clothing in 1 or 2 brands is much easier than casting a wider net. Manufacturers all make products that vary in cut, even with standard size charts being the norm. If she's not too picky about brands, there are many great manufacturers out there that make beautiful products in a wide range of designs, colors and sizes, too. If her favorite maker's products aren't available, other makers may have just what you're looking for, and probably at a much better price!

Measure Her
- This step may seem a little sneaky but it's been a successful enough tip that we recommend it all the time.

If you are shopping for a bra, find her favorite bra. Start by writing down the band and cup size. Another great tip is to simply measure the unstretched band of her favorite bra with a tape measure - from one end of the strap to another. It's best to lay the bra flat with the cups facing the flat surface. Although this does give you a little more information than most manufacturers provide about their products, you'll be able to discern the stretchiness of the fabric she likes in her favorite bra and keep this in mind when you shop for her. Writing down the fabric content of her favorite bra and panty will help in your search.

Panties are a little easier to measure. If the tags are cut, measure the fullest width for your hips measurement and the waist of the stretched panty while laying it flat on a surface. Multiply your totals by 2. Use these measurements in your search. Check out the size charts provided by sellers and retailers. Manufacturers have their tags with their sizes on their labels but sizes vary quite a bit. So, see if you can convert your measurements to size charts supplied by sellers and retailers for the best possible fit.

Compiling all this information will make you a better shopper for that special someone!
