The Best Sexy Costumes to Try

Sunday, June 15th, 2008

Sexy costumes are a fun way to add a little excitement, whether in the bedroom or at a costume party. Take a look online, and you will find a nearly endless supply of costume ideas. The styles range from beautiful and classy to downright naughty. There are plenty of characters and roles to play with the assistance of the sexy costumes available. Perhaps you want to add a little spark to your love life, or you’re bound and determined to win this year’s Halloween costume contest. Either way, there are tons of sexy costumes to choose from.

If you want to try something a little hot and daring, here are five sexy costumes ideas to get you started:

Sexy Hero Costumes - The sky isn’t even the limit when you don a cape and mask and become a superhero. How about a Wonder Woman-style bustier corset with a pair of short shorts and high heeled boots? If you’re really daring, you might want to break out the golden lasso, too.

Fantasy Woman - Consider sexy costumes that transport you to another time or place. You can be a jungle woman, a cheerleader, a cowgirl, or even a pirate wench. A sexy short skirt and a pair of high heels are just the beginning for these types of fantasy costumes. There’s an amazing variety of ideas to be found on the web.

Sexy Character Costumes - Put a very different spin on some of your favourite childhood characters. Your Prince Charming will definitely notice his sexy new Snow White or Cinderella. Get even more creative with a Little Bo Peep or Miss Muffet costume. Add an exotic bustier and a silky cloak, and you’re a “red hot” Red Riding Hood.

Costumes with Wings - While you may not be planning to act like an angel in your sexy costumes, you can certainly look like one! Some sheer, sexy lingerie gets even cuter when you add some wings and a halo. Angles aren’t the only creatures with wings, either. There are some great sexy fairy costumes out there, too.

Classic Sexy Costumes - When you think of sexy costumes, there are a few traditional styles that come to mind. Of course, there’s the naughty nurse for starters. You might also consider the frisky French maid. Other classic costumes include the bookish librarian and the sultry schoolgirl. Just about anyone in uniform is fair game, so break out the handcuffs and keep the peace as a policewoman.

There’s practically no limit to what you can do with a corset bustier, a short skirt and a pair of thigh highs or fishnet stockings. For a really finished look, though, shop around for professionally made sexy costumes. This is just a short list of some of the styles you might want to consider when looking for just the right costume. You’ll want to take your own tastes into consideration, of course, but there seem to be sexy costumes for nearly every style, taste, opinion, mood, event, and situation. Have fun and get creative.

Chemises – From Antiquity to the Modern Era

Monday, June 9th, 2008

Chemises are adorable pieces of lingerie that have a very long history. What today might be considered a piece of naughty lingerie used to simply be a utilitarian garment. While chemises were originally used to keep outer clothes from getting dirty, our modern usage of this piece of clothing has more to do with getting “dirty” in the bedroom!

Chemises have also been called “shifts” and “smocks” and have undergone quite a transformation in the centuries they’ve been around. They date all the way back to the Middle Ages, in fact, when they were worn underneath regular outer clothing. At the time, clothing was not washed as regularly as it is today, and chemises were worn next to the skin to protect clothes from sweat and body oils. The idea is similar to that of a modern man’s white t-shirt. In those times, however, the chemises would be washed often, but the outer garments would not.

Modern chemises probably have more in common with a camisole or a teddy than they do with a t-shirt, though. They are generally about thigh-length and have straps rather than sleeves. It’s true that they can still be worn as under garments. In fact, they make great slips for short dresses. Current fashion has even brought the chemise to the outside, as silky, short, strappy dresses have become quite popular.

Of course, the most popular use for chemises these days is as sexy lingerie. The feel of a silk chemise against the skin can be a turn on for both the woman wearing it and the man sharing her bed. There are dozens of styles to choose from, so it’s not hard to find a chemise to suit just about any lingerie-worthy situation. There are sheer, billowy chemises or form-fitting lacy ones. It really depends on the mood to be set.

Chemises have a lot in common with lingerie known as “baby doll” style. Like these little dress-type outfits, chemises tend to hug the skin along the bust line and waist and then flare out a bit at the hips. For this reason, they look good on pretty much every body type, too, which is a real bonus for women who are new to shopping for lingerie. While one can think of chemises as being “naughty lingerie,” there is something of an air of romance to them. This is another reason they can be a great choice for someone who is new to lingerie. They tend to be a bit more modest than a bustier, teddy, or corset, so there’s less nervousness for the woman who is simply trying to look pretty for a special night in.

Chemises are a good choice for someone wanting to make a gift of lingerie, too. Because they aren’t worn skin-tight and don’t generally have bra cups, sizing is more forgiving than it is with other types of lingerie. While it can be tricky to purchase lingerie for a woman, having an idea of her size will get you in the right ballpark for a chemise that looks as good as it will make her feel.
