Have you ever done lingerie shopping online?
The thing is that some of the item descriptions can be confusing. It is very difficult to purchase a gift you are not familiar with. Let`s cover some of the terms so you will be better informed when choosing lingerie.

There are some commonly used fabrics you may not recognize. They are charmeuse, chiffon, jacquard, lace and satin. When you see these terms, the material/fabric of the item is being described. As for charmeuse, it is a very satiny, very soft and flowy non stretch fabric. It is typically used for chemises and camisoles, slips, gowns, robes, short sleeping sets, and even blouses. A Jacquard fabric has a pattern of some kind pressed into the solid background. Satin is a smooth fabric, as of silk or rayon, woven with a glossy face and a dull back. Lace…It is a delicate fabric made of yarn or thread.

A lightweight material with a slightly rough feel to it is called chiffon. It is usually associated with silk or nylon and can be dyed to most any shade you like.This fabric can be made from cotton, silk or synthetic fibers. It`s very delicate and must be hand washed.

Emroidery! Some sort of decoration on the fabric. So if you see an emroidered lace babydoll, you will know what it is.

No need to say that if men buy lingerie for their women they should be familiar with the terms.

These, of course, are not all the terms. But I think the ones we`ve discussed will help you.

The Pussycat Dolls were forced to dash out for clean lingerie before their breakfast TV performance in New York City yesterday morning after their luggage went missing on a flight from Ireland. The singers endured a nightmare trip from Dublin after airline computers crashed, leaving them desperate to find a flight back to America.

And when they touched down in New York - just in time for their TV appearance on “Good Morning America” - their luggage didn’t. Singer Nicole Scherzinger explains, “We lost our luggage so we got brand new underwear today and we’re happy to be here. We’re glad we made it. We missed all of our flights because the computers shut down in Dublin.”

Avril Lavigne will soon mary…

She celebrated her last days of being single by inviting her fiance, Sum 41 singer Deryck Whibley, to join her for her bachelorette bash on June 30 (the couple has yet to announce their official wedding date).

Guess what she received as a present? Deryck presented her two sets of black 2Belles panties embroidered with ‘The Mrs.’ in hot pink, plus a posh bra, panty and camisole set from lingerie company Cherish.

She was excited, but a little embarrassed…(according to an eyewitness)

After opening her presents, Lavigne donned a veil with devil horns and the couple and 20 pals dined at hip Los Angeles restaurant Koi. Then they moved to celebrity nightclub Lobby where they partied alongside Jessica Alba and Nicky Hilton.
