What Do Underwear Models Really Look Like?

If you've ever fretted that the lingerie you bought for your girlfriend doesn't look quite the same as it did on the girl in the catalog, that's because you're not dating a Victoria's Secret model. (And if you are, screw you.) The truth is that in real life, it doesn't look that way on the model either, because even though lingerie models are freakishly hot, everyone could use a little help in the editing room. Unless they're modeling for Lille Boutique, a small lingerie shop in Portland, Oregon, that specializes in hard-to-find fabrics and styles ... and completely undoctored sample photos.

Yes, the pictures in their online catalog—and in this more glamorous and artsy photo shoot—have not been altered after the fact, so you can see the clothes and the girls just as they are, right down to the freckles. Seems like a bizarre way to sell anything these days, but it's refreshing to know that those impossible standards aren't quite as impossible as you think.
