Chapter 1. Perfect sizing
The most important trick when you buy her lingerie is not to go wrong with her size. Find the right one by taking a peek inside her lingerie drawer. Bra labels include a number and a letter. You need them both for the perfect fit.
Have you you found more than one size on her bras? Write them all & ask a sales support representative for guidance.
Chapter 2. Style & taste
Her favorite colors (or non-colors – black/ white) are your high priority. Yes, you should know her favorite colors. If you don’t, look at the shades she wears on a daily basis for at least a week, women are as loyal to their favorite colors as they are to men. Ignore Avoid colors she’s not wearing.
