How To Shop for Plus Size Lingerie

When choosing plus size lingerie, it’s advisable to evaluate your figure type. If you are looking for the best shape to compliment all figure types, select an a-line or trapeze shape. Straight styles emphasize hips and may be better suited for customers who have smaller hips. The best lingerie styles have adjustable shoulder straps, lacing, or hook and eye closures.

If you’re particularly buxom, you may want to size up, especially if it’s a plus size corset or bustier. Look for adjustable features like spandex or draw strings to customize the fit. Great boning shapes and accentuates curves by achieving a successful waist defining look. Well-endowed women usually prefer straps on a corset for extra support. Most under wired cups and padded bras within babydolls or chemises are confined to a D cup so it’s prudent to omit these styles. Halter, shelf bras, and empire waist styles work best if your bust is a DD or larger.

There are many different styles of plus size panties such as the boyshort, bikini, tanga, brief, G-string, and hipster. For women who want to create a more defined rear, there’s a style called cheeky which lifts and shapes by scooping out the back. The hipster panty or G-string looks best under clothing.

Deeply saturated colors flatter all complexions adding a special glow. Shades of purple, magenta, apple green and teal are preferred colors in the plus size lingerie market. Pink, red and raspberry are very popular particularly at Christmas and on Valentine’s day. Black is a seductive classic and always sells well.

For optimum value, select pieces that can crossover to evening wear like sequined corsets or lace overlay camis. The value is in the piece’s versatility.

Whether you’re celebrating an anniversary or a special homecoming, lingerie has the ability to heighten the experience by raising the romance meter. As a result, the lingerie wearer feels sexy and the spouse feels special(Deborah Friedman:Ezine).
