A woman’s closet would be incomplete if it lacks her favourite lingerie. Lingerie for most women spells out fun, sexy and nice. For some, it is even worth spending some extra dollars.

However, frustrations come from plus-size women because they feel lingerie is something not for them. For some of them, lingerie shopping may seem hard. The reality is shopping for lingerie is not as easy as picking a kilo of salt in the supermarket, for a woman of any size. Eighty-five per cent of women do not wear the right bra size for their bodies.

For plus-size women, this problem is more emphasized. Has your bra size been measured when going to a lingerie store so that you would be sure you are wearing the bra with the right cup size and length of the strap? Furthermore, bring some of your tops that differ in their fit to try on over your bra.

NOTE: An ill-fitting bra could make you look heavier or fatter. Consider the fit of the underhand, cup and length of the strap.  The underband should support your breasts. The cup should be the right fit. The length of the strap should be appropriate for your body’s shape and not exert any pressure on your breasts.

Bras with underwires provide the best support, especially for women with big breasts. However, this seems uncomfortable sometimes. Thus, look for a bra with a flat and padded underwire.

It is important to wear good bras because bad bras may cause the tearing of breast tissue. This would cause the sagging of your breasts. Thus, buy bras, which provide good support for your breasts.

Other types of underwear have also been tailored for the plus size woman. A perfect ten-body is not needed to get a way with wearing sexy lingerie. Usually, an average plus-size woman would also have sexy curves other than the bulges she notices. Choosing the right lingerie would hide the bulges and emphasize the curves at the right places.

There are many online retailers that cater to plus-size women. If you’re embarrassed to shop for lingerie in the mall, there are many choices online. Retailers provide size charts and guides on how to measure so that the lingerie you’re ordering would be the perfect fit.

The advent of plus-size fashion has made shopping for these women easier. More stores have expanded their size range. Furthermore, more labels now cater to plus-size women. Plus size lingerie does not escape this trend. Lingerie for these women has been designed to fit their very needs.

Plus size lingerie has been tailored to emphasize the woman’s best features. This line for full-figured bodies usually includes corsets and bustiers that stress the stunning curves of women. 

Another plus factor of the world of plus size lingerie is that designers made materials that still looks sleek, lacy and delicate and at the same time would still provide the best support and is still comfortable. A good store would provide suggestions on what particular type of lingerie would best suit the client’s body type.

Lingerie makes a woman feel that she is more sensual, sultry and sexy. It even boosts self-confidence for some. No longer does beautiful, gorgeous, or sexy pertain to only skinny people. Plus-size women have defied social norms and created the look that would suit their body type.
