How to Choose the Right Lingerie for Your Body Type — A Body-Positive Guide by The Seventh Muse

At The Seventh Muse, we don’t believe in "fixing" your body. We believe in celebrating it.

Lingerie isn’t just about lace and straps — it’s about how you feel when you wear it. It’s that little secret under your clothes that says: “I am comfortable. I am beautiful. I am me.”

So, let’s talk about how to choose lingerie that flatters your body, fits you just right, and — most importantly — makes you feel amazing.

1. First things first: You don’t need to change your body

Your body doesn’t need to be slimmer, perkier, or more toned to wear beautiful lingerie. It already deserves softness, support, and style.

At The Seventh Muse, our collections are handpicked with your needs in mind — real curves, real needs, real stories.

2. For a fuller bust: Go for gentle lift and wide support

If you have a fuller bust, look for bras with:

  • Wider straps
  • Full coverage cups
  • Supportive under band or sculpted fit

Try our Velvet Hour Black Knit Set — it’s wireless but structured, offering comfort without digging in. It hugs your shape without flattening it.

3. Pear-shaped? Balance your curves

Got hips that don’t lie? Celebrate them.

Choose styles that enhance your upper body — embroidered bras, bold necklines, or lace detailing on the bust.

The Embroidered Floral Lingerie Set – Royal Blue is a perfect match. Its detailed top balances out your silhouette while the mid-rise briefs sit comfortably on your hips.

4. Athletic build? Embrace soft textures & details

If you have a straighter or athletic frame, lingerie can add curves and softness through:

  • Lace overlays
  • Ruffles or embroidery
  • Cut-out or sheer panels

The Blush Spell Set in Black & Red is designed for just that — it’s bold, playful, and adds dimension without adding bulk.

5. Every body needs everyday comfort

Let’s be honest — some days are about meetings, errands, or Netflix marathons.

You need lingerie that moves with you. Look for:

  • Breathable fabrics
  • Stretchable fits
  • No-poke elastic bands

The Velvet Hour Briefs are a customer favorite for this reason — they’re smooth, soft, and feel like a second skin.

6. For special occasions — choose what makes you feel radiant

Bridal, date night, or just because you want to treat yourself — you deserve lingerie that makes you feel like the main character.

Try our Elysian Butterfly Embroidered Lingerie Set — classic, elegant, with a whisper of mystery. Or the Melodia White Embroidered Set, if you’re planning something dreamy.

You don’t have to wait for a special day. Wearing lingerie that you love can make any day special.

Final Tips

  • Fit matters more than size — Get fitted every 6 months. Your comfort comes first.
  • Care for your pieces — Hand wash, dry flat, and they’ll love you longer.
  • Wear it for you — Not for anyone else.

At The Seventh Muse, we say this with love:

Your body isn’t a “type” — it’s your home.

And lingerie? It should feel like your favorite room — soft, supportive, and made just for you.
