How to pick the right size as a gift

• Check her tags: a dress or top size from her closet maps to these S–XXL ranges (Avidlove S = 4–6, M = 6–8, L = 8–10).
• Between sizes? Size up. Babydolls, chemises and slips are forgiving; bodysuits and garter sets are not.
• Not sure at all? Go with a babydoll, slip or robe set over a teddy or bodysuit.
