you want to be your most alluring

I submit that sexy is TOO strong and seduction is not used in English in these kinds of marketing context,

The idea in English is ALLURING.....to be or feel alluring...Unless this catalogue is for a 20 to 25 year-old crowd....

The French women\'s clothing and fashion language cannot be transposed using the same words in English...not for a catalogue probably aimed at women 25 and up....

neutral CMJ_Trans (X) : I agree entirely on the principle but I think "alluring" is a rather old-fashioned word
