subject: How To Select Sexy Plus Size Lingerie [print this page] Every woman wants to look and feel gorgeous and sexy, including larger women. Fortunately clothing designers have awakened to the fact that there's a whole market full of big, beautiful women shopping for equally beautiful plus size lingerie.
For some women, the rise of options today in plus size lingerie has led to considerable confusion. Here are a few hints to help you select the type of undergarments that are right for you.
First, have a good friend take your body measurements, including inseam, hips, waist and bust. Write these numbers down and keep them handy.
Record your measurements and keep them with you when you go shopping. Remember, it's not the size that matters, but the fit. Don't get hung up if you seem to need a larger size in one manufacturer's clothes than you do in another designer's. Different manufacturers cut their clothes differently and size them differently, so don't get anxious.
Shopping online from your home is more convenient and often gives more variety in the selections. However, before shopping online, it's crucial that you know your body measurements, because sizes differ greatly among clothing manufacturers.
In fact, getting your measurements is the place to start whether you shop in a store or online. It's also a good idea to get a friend to take your measurements, especially to determine the correct bra size. Lingerie experts estimate that 80 percent of American women wear the wrong bra size because they haven't been properly fitted. Resolve that you'll be among the 20 percent who look smashing in their outfits because they've bought the right bra.
Next look for a stunning teddy that has a corset built in and comes with a garter belt to match. This outfit typically looks terrific on women blessed with good curves, and it thrills your partner to see you in it as much as it thrills you to wear it.
Once you have the basics cared for and something a little special, consider a sexy outfit that's more daring. Find an ensemble that shows off your curves and makes you feel powerful and confident. Don't be shy; it's time to love the generous body you have and be proud about making it look beautiful.
Consider also whether you can use a body shaper. Body shapers aren't necessarily the all-in-one solution they're promoted to be, because they can smooth out one area but cause bulges in another. The right one can make clothes look better, however, so it's worth trying on several. A good option is a body shaper that covers you from bust to just above the knees and comes with clear straps.
That quality of "beautiful from the skin out" is what women want in their plus size lingerie as well. If it means saving up a bit until you have enough money to buy the best, it's worth it. You deserve the best lingerie you can afford, and you have no reason to apologize for wanting to look and feel your best, no matter what size clothes you wear.
