How to flatter her figure, pick colors and more...

Chocolate makes you fat, flowers die and great jewelry is a strain on the budget, Lingerie, on the other hand, is the gift that truly keeps on giving.

Here's how to buy it right.

Pure flattery

Not every woman feels comfortable with baring her bottom in a sexy thong.

Put some thought into what body parts she feels most comfortable with and choose lingerie to complement.

A few ideas:
• Show off nice legs in something short like a baby doll or short chemise.
• Play up good cleavage with a halter or bustier style.
• Display toned arms with a camisole.

Have fun
Get her in touch with her inner child by choosing fun prints like cherries or clouds. Or appeal to her wilder side: animal prints, lace or bold colors like red are perfect.

Colors
Black, red and white (or off-white), look good on almost everyone.
Blondes look great in pastels, and brunettes can carry off stronger colors like purple and emerald green. Redheads do best with greens, blues and earthy tones.

Soft touch
If you like touching the garment, she'll like wearing it. Velvet, silk and satin have lots of tactile appeal. If you're buying online, stick with fabrics that you already know what they feel like.

Get comfy
Casual, updated intimates come in styles like tank tops, bikinis and p.j.s. Look for cotton, flannel or other naturally cozy fabrics.

Sizes
The best way to find her correct size is to ask.
Alternatives: you can snoop around the lingerie drawer to find the sizes of stuff she already owns. Or you can guess (tricky territory -- Lingerie.com even promotes the amusing "fruit comparison" method for finding cup size.)

Presentation
Don't forget to wrap the lingerie (or have it professionally wrapped) with beautiful paper and a lots of lush tissue paper. You can get creative and make bags or baskets with related items, like a book of poetry, a bottle of champagne or great-smelling body products and candle.

How to Choose Proper Lingerie for Your Wedding

• STEP 1: Begin by choosing a bra that offers enough support and is the right style for your dress - preferably from a brand name with which you are already comfortable.

• STEP 2: Slip on a strapless bra if your dress has a low or wide-cut neckline, or slender straps. The most versatile strapless is one with removable straps that you can make into a crisscross or halter bra. Buy underwire if you are full-busted or full-figured.

• STEP 3: Select a backless bra that hooks at the waist if your dress has a low-cut back. Let them see skin, not bra straps.

• STEP 4: Slim down with a Lycra or spandex slimmer. This modern-day corset will keep you looking trim; just make sure it's comfortable for an extended period of time, and take it along to your fittings - it can change the fit of your dress.

• STEP 5: Wear underwear that is comfortable, stays in place and doesn't show through the dress in any light. A pantyhose-underwear combination is a good choice for a slim-fitting skirt.

• STEP 6: Choose a sexy garter belt, if you dare - make sure that it shows no lines and won't snap during a dance.

• STEP 7: Purchase a slip if you are wearing a long sheath dress.

• STEP 8: Pick hosiery of any style, as long as its color flows harmoniously with your dress.

• STEP 9: Try on a variety of styles under your dress once you've chosen the proper type, and move, move, move. The bra should be comfortable and stay in place at all times.

Tips & Warnings
• Try your bra on with your dress to be certain the fit is perfect.
• Spend a little extra if you wear a garter belt; the less expensive ones tend to slide around and leave you with sagging hose.
• Buy extra pantyhose for yourself and your attendants. To avoid panic on your wedding day, you'll want to have an extra pair or two in case of a run or snag.
• If you plan to kick off your shoes and dance the night away, choose sturdier tights to avoid tears, or wear knee-highs that you can lose with the shoes.
