The Best Sexy Nightgown For Curvy Shapes

Women who are blessed with sexy curves are lucky when it comes to see through lingerie because they have no trouble filling it out and looking amazing in anything they put on.

  • The key to fitting a curvy figure is to look for balance and support
  • Give your bust the support you need with underwire cups or a built in bra
  • Look for styles that nip in at the waist to play up your feminine shape
  • Keep your hourglass shape intact by adding equal emphasis to the bust and the hips by keeping the hemlines either short and swingy, or wearing a long, fitted gown with a high slit for a look that’s more glamorous

Sexy Night gowns For Boyish Shapes

An angular shape with no curves is like a blank canvas for sheer nightgowns for women because you can pile on any kind of trims or embellishments without having to worry about added bulkiness.

  • Give your shape a little more va-va-voom by choosing sexy nighties with padding at the bust and a plunging neckline
  • Look for emphasis at the waist like seaming or a ribbon belt, and balance it all out with a short hemline with ruffles or detail that adds a little volume
  • Avoid long nightgowns that draw the eye in a vertical line, which only emphasizes a straight silhouette 
  • Instead choose short nightgowns or chemises that break up your length and add the illusion of curves.
