What to Wear as a Bijou Babe | Iowa Boudoir Photography
“There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty. ” – Steve Maraboli
I LOVE that quote! Don’t you? There is nothing more radiant, more stunning than the authentic you standing in front of my lens. <3 Oh but I’m getting off topic here. One of the most common questions I get is what to wear to a photo shoot. Women come in all shapes and sizes of curves and today, I’m focusing on those Bijou Babes! Bijou is a French word meaning small and elegant so yes ladies, we are focusing on those small, elegant bustlines!
Beauty is not defined by cup size and you do not have to be a DD to be lusty and unapologetically hot in your boudoir shoot. (If you are a DD though- here is your blog post: ) Let’s talk about some wardrobe tricks to help you make the most of your gorgeous curves.
High Necklines
High Neckline halter styled garments emphasize your gorgeous shoulders and create a triangle that leads directly up to your eyes. Keep it simple with a top and panty like above or this or go with a bodysuit like this Lace Halter Teddy or one of my favorites Avidlove Lace Halter Teddy
Bodysuits
And since I am mentioning Bodysuits, let’s dive in a little deeper. Bodysuits are amazing for so many reasons. They can camouflage areas we want and highlight other booti-licious assets you want to draw attention to. Sheer and lace designs are perfection like the one above. Be bold and go for a deep cut neckline like the one here: Deep V Plunging Neckline Bodysuit
Bralettes
The devil is in the details they say! Being smaller on top gives you the advantage when it comes to flaunting delicately designed and intricate lingerie which is why bralettes are great. You can get them in so many shapes and sizes plus they are super hot right now! Lace is always popular like the two below but check out other options like strappy or satin.
