Boudoir PEI - Boudoir Wardrobe Guide | Charlottetown PEI
I know, I know...you are probably saying to yourself "I don't have ANYTHING to wear for this kind of thing!"
But... I'm willing to bet that you have some of these items in your closet right now!
The beautiful thing about boudoir is there is no 'proper' outfit. You can wear anything from a wedding veil to a button up shirt to a white bedsheet! Get creative and look through your wardrobe to see what might work!
General Wardrobe Tips
Choose muted/matte/pastel colours. Patterns don't photograph as well.
Bring at least one killer bra (with good support) and panty set.
If you are self self-conscious your middle, body suits, shape wear, or slips are great options! Shape wear is often overlooked, but it is a GREAT option! It is SUPER flattering and looks incredible in images! Fitted items will actually be more flattering.
Lace and layers always look great. Intricate lacy lingerie photographs beautifully!
If you are going for more 'sexy' portraits, thigh highs and a garter belt works well for this.
If you like to wear heels, bring nude and/or black heels. The higher/skinnier the heels the better! (Totally not necessary if you don't like wearing heels.)
Legs: We all want long, gorgeous legs! Look for high cut bottoms, as the higher the opening, the longer your legs will look. If you have heels, bring a pair of nude of black heels as that will make your legs look even longer than they are.
Tushy: If a great tushy shot is on your list, I recommend bottoms that show just enough, but not too much. Thongs or string bikini bottoms are not so flattering.
Stomach: If you're worried about showing your stomach, a body suit or shape wear is a great choice. Bringing a beautiful lace robe/kimono if you have one. I also have great poses that will hide your stomach.
Arms: If your arms are a concern, look for long sleeved body suits, bring a button down shirt, or a kimono/robe.
Props and Accessories
Shoes: If you have heels, please bring a nude and/or black pair. The higher the heel, the longer your legs will appear! They are not necessary though; so if you don't normally wear heels or are not comfortable in them, just wear bare feet.
Jewelry: Feel free to bring any jewelry you might want to wear. Remember, less is more.
Props: If you want to bring a prop to show off your interests or personality, you can. If you're doing your session as a gift for your significant other, some ideas might be their favourite jersey, or a basketball/football/soccerball (or whatever sport they are into). A good prop for brides to bring are a veil and garter.
The options on what you can wear are literally endless!
I love making each session unique, so if you have something you'd like to be photographed in, please bring it along!

Bonus: Here are our top preparation tips!
Drink lots of water on the days leading up to your shoot, to help give you glowing skin!
Eat a small meal before your shoot. Don't starve yourself, but please stay away from foods that will make you feel bloated.
Tan lines are difficult to remove. Be careful in the sun before your session to minimize harsh tan lines.
Cut tags off your lingerie so they don't show in the photos
Paint your toe nails and finger nails a light/nude colour (or get a mani/pedi) a few days before your session. Nail polish is not required though, if you'd prefer not to paint your nails.
If you're getting waxed, I recommend getting it done a few days before hand. If you're shaving, I recommend shaving the night before and make sure you moisturize before you come!
