What Not to Wear to Your Boudoir Shoot
Getting ready for your boudoir session? You’ve probably been thinking about what to wear—but knowing what not to bring can be just as important.
Here’s a quick cheat sheet to make sure every piece you pack helps you feel amazing (and looks just as good on camera).
Skip the Poor Fitting Lingerie
Too tight and it digs in. Too loose and it sags in all the wrong places. Fit is everything. Bring pieces that hug you in the right spots and support you where it counts. If it doesn’t feel fabulous before the shoot, it won’t look fabulous in the photos.
Ditch the Loud Prints
Bold prints might be fun in everyday life, but on camera they can steal attention away from you. Stick to solid colours, deep jewel tones, soft pastels, or classic black. These photograph beautifully and let your glow take centre stage.
No Baggy Clothes
Oversized tees and slouchy sweaters might feel cozy, but they hide your shape in photos. The magic of boudoir is in celebrating your curves, not covering them. Go for pieces that show off your silhouette, even if it’s just a silky robe tied at the waist.
Say No to Clothes That Don’t Fit You
Not every trend fits every body, and that’s perfectly okay. Choose outfits that flatter your shape and highlight the features you love most. If you’re unsure, bring options. I’ll help you pick the winners on the day.
Leave the Worn or Stained Pieces at Home
That bra you’ve had forever? The one with the loose strap and mystery mark? Probably not the moment for it. This is your time to shine, fresh, clean, and photo-ready only.
Bottom line:
Bring pieces that make you feel confident the second you put them on. That energy shows up in every shot. If you're ever unsure, pack extra and we’ll decide together.
