The Lingerie Virgin - Average Sizes

The Lingerie Virgin: If your partner's bureau is full of white cotton bras and knickers, this is the place to start. The key thing about buying lingerie for a woman is to make sure that she feels comfortable and sexy wearing it, not embarrased and upset. With that in mind, we've chosen these pieces to help women look beautiful without baring a lot of flesh and feeling uncomfortable.

Average Sizes: These pieces will suit most women and are available in a variety of average sizes.

Verde Veronica Nightgown


Your Lingerie Virgin will feel right at home in this gorgeous night dress from Verde Veronica. It is a beautiful ivory silk chiffon with lace detail around the hem and bust line. Spaghetti shoulder straps and ribbon detail complete the piece. It is a nice length but still very sexy because it is slightly sheer. You'll have to find a pair of knickers to go with this, but that shouldn't be difficult. You can find this at Sophie and Grace for £104.

Julianne "Teresa" set

This two piece is so lovely, your Lingerie Virgin will want to wear it outside! The top provides full coverage, but the luxurious silk, lacy wide bands, and sexy V-neck make this a beautiful piece that will make her feel like a queen. The matching shorts are comfortable and flattering, but with the same silk and gorgeous lace detailing. If you want to spoil her, this set is available for £109 in Figleaves UK, and $180.50 at Figleaves US. If you're shopping at Figleaves, don’t forget your coupons to save £20 or $20 off!

Carabella Set

This black chemise from Carabella is actually two pieces. It includes a matching string. Your Lingerie Virgin may not wear strings or thongs, but this set will let her try it out since the chemise provides coverage in the back. Even if she doesn't like the string, this is quite a deal at only £9.95 for both pieces in combed cotton. The chemise features just enough pink ribbon detail to not look like your every day strappy top. Pick up this bargain while you still can.
