Best Places to Get Lingerie

Now that you have an idea of what pieces you should get to flatter your body type most, the question is where should you get it??? I’m going to do my best to answer this in two parts consisting of local boutiques (San Francisco bay area) and internet retailers.

There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to shopping both locally and online. Shopping locally for your lingerie not only supports local business but it also allows you try try stuff on before you buy, which is how you get the best fitting stuff AND better images .

If you’ve given yourself plenty of time before your photo shoot, shopping online often offers more variety at a much lower cost. The downside to shopping online is that you will need to over buy a lot of stuff and return what doesn’t fit later after you try it on. As many of you reading this know, this can be quite the pain in the butt because most lingerie needs to be form fitting, sizes are different from manufacture to manufacture etc.

Sex shops are usually a hard pass in my book for lingerie shopping as the pieces tends to be cheap and or trashy. Cheap looking nurse outfit… No thanks! This isn’t a hard rule, and I’ve seen some boutiques that pull it off. It’s just not the first place you should probably go.
