Pieces for this answer.
01
Start with the line
Look at where the waistband, the leg opening and the lace edge will fall, then decide whether you like that line on its own terms. A high leg, a low rise, a diagonal seam and a horizontal band all read differently. The question is not which one hides the most. It is which one you find interesting enough to wear for a whole evening, in the room you have planned. Write the line down if it helps you stop renegotiating it later.
02
Fabric weight
Matte satin and fine mesh skim the body and keep a shape of their own; heavy lace sits on the skin and holds a pattern above it. Neither is better. If you want a smooth surface, choose the lighter fabric. If you want the piece to feel structured, choose the heavier one. Hold both against you in daylight before you decide, and notice which one you keep touching. Weight, not colour, is what you feel against the skin.
03
The light test
Try the piece in the light you will actually be seen in. Daylight shows texture, a warm lamp softens it, and a phone torch shows everything. None of these lights is the truth, and none of them is grading you. Use the test to check fit, colour and coverage, then step away. The room you choose is part of the outfit, not a verdict on your skin. Take your time; nobody is timing the test.
04
Pattern as texture
A print, an embroidery or a fishnet adds its own texture, which changes how the eye reads the whole surface. That is a styling decision, not camouflage. If you like the pattern, wear it. If you prefer a clean field of colour, choose that instead. Either way, pick the version you would wear even if nobody else were in the room. Texture is allowed to be the point.
05
The dressing-room rule
Try the piece on once, sit down, stand up and walk to the door. If you have to tug it, it is the wrong size or the wrong cut, and that is useful information rather than a verdict on your body. Buy the one you can forget about. Confidence is usually just a piece that stays where you put it, so you can think about something else.

Questions
Quick answers.
What lingerie works with stretch marks?
Do I have to cover my stretch marks?+
No. Plenty of people choose sheer pieces because they like how skin looks through them. Coverage is a preference, not a rule.
Which fabric feels best?+
Matte satin and fine mesh skim without pressing; heavy lace holds its own shape. Choose the weight that matches the mood you want.
What if a partner notices?+
They usually do not, and if they do, it is rarely the thing they mention. You can say what you like instead of explaining.
