What to Wear for Your Boudoir Session
One of the biggest questions we hear is...
"What am I supposed to wear?"
Take a deep breath—you don't have to figure it all out on your own.
At Grace in Lace Boudoir, we'll help you create beautiful looks that flatter your body, fit your personality, and photograph beautifully. Whether you bring your own wardrobe, borrow from our Client Closet, or mix the two, we'll make sure you look and feel amazing.
Start with Our Client Closet
Many of our clients don't purchase a single new outfit—and that's completely okay!
Our luxury Client Closet features hundreds of pieces in sizes XS–3XL, carefully selected to flatter every body type. You'll find:
Bodysuits
Two-piece lingerie sets
Bustiers
Garter belts
Robes
Thigh-high stockings
Bolero jackets
Sheer, lacey, velvet dresses both short & full length
Satin sheets
Shoes (sizes 6–11)
Gloves
Jewelry
And so much more!
When you arrive at 8:30 AM, we'll spend time together selecting your wardrobe before hair and makeup begins. I'll help you choose pieces that fit beautifully, complement your body shape, and create a variety of looks.
