Identifying Your Body Shape | Atlanta Boudoir Photographer

Let’s talk about something that’s super important when it comes to choosing the best lingerie for your boudoir session – identifying your body shape. Trust me, knowing your body shape can make all the difference when it comes to choosing the best looks to make you feel like the goddess you are.

First things first, let’s break down the different body shapes. There are generally five main body shapes – apple, pear, hourglass, rectangle, and inverted triangle. Each shape has its own unique characteristics and proportions, and understanding yours can help you choose lingerie that accentuates your best features.

If you have an apple body shape, you typically carry more weight around your midsection. To flatter your figure, opt for lingerie that draws attention away from your midsection and towards your legs and shoulders. Baby doll styles, high-cut panties, and lace bras with detailing around the bust are all great choices for apple shapes.

Pear-shaped beauties tend to have narrower shoulders and fuller hips and thighs. To balance out your proportions, choose lingerie that highlights your upper body while minimizing attention on your lower half. Corsets, bralettes with detailing around the bust, and high-waisted panties are perfect for pear shapes.

Now, let’s talk about the hourglass figure. If you’re a gal with an hourglass shape, you’ll want to choose lingerie that accentuates your waist and highlights your curves. Bodysuits, corsets with boning for extra support, and matching sets with high-waisted bottoms are all perfect for showcasing your figure.

If you have a rectangular body shape, your waist, hips, and shoulders are all about the same width. To create the illusion of curves, opt for lingerie that defines your waist and adds volume to your hips and bust. Bustier tops, teddies with detailing around the waist, and panties with ruffles or lace are great choices for rectangular shapes.

Lastly, let’s talk about the inverted triangle body shape. If you have broad shoulders and a narrower waist and hips, you’ll want to choose lingerie that balances out your proportions. Look for styles that add volume to your lower half and draw attention away from your shoulders. Chemises, teddies with detailing around the hips, and panties with side ties are perfect for inverted triangle shapes.

Once you’ve identified your body shape, choosing lingerie for your boudoir session becomes a less of a hassle. You’ll know exactly which styles and silhouettes flatter your figure and make you feel like the Goddess you are.
