Default Any tips for posing a larger woman for boudoir photography?

I have an upcoming boudoir photo shoot for a friend of mine. She is very self conscious and is a larger woman who has recently lost weight, thus she has excess skin. Any suggestions for posing or otherwise?

You can use tulle fabric, covers a multitude of sin, but still has some see through quality..placed strategically, of course. Probably can pick some up at a fabric store.

watch you lighting angle too...the lower the angle the more detail as it rakes across the subject.

Get closer. Use a tighter crop to highlight specific areas (and leave out others!)
