Best plus-size lingerie: 15 sexy styles for curvy women

From pants and bras to sets, our sexiest lingerie arrangement to make you feel the best

It wasn’t long ago that underwear options for older women consisted mostly of sex appeal as much as your nana’s prostheses, and beige or gray underwear.

But when it comes to dressing your curves, there are now more options than ever before. From cute casual dresses to elegant occasions to dress-up outfits, the fashion industry seems to finally pay attention to the strength of the plus size pound.

This means that when coupled with body positive movement and more plus size celebrities (think Ashley Graham, Tess Holliday, and Lizzo), things are looking for plus size shoppers.

Plus size clothing is widely accepted as size 16 and above, plus size underwear is for those who wear bras D or larger. The online underwear brand Figleaves says: “Everything will be 40 (for the bottom band) and above plus size, this is equivalent to the 18/20 dress size.”

How to buy the correct bra size

Here are a few helpful tips from the experts at Figleaves:

  • The underwire should fit snugly against your chest, without the pouring of your breasts.
    If the cups are too large, there may be excess fabric or wrinkle, so try going to a cup size.
    The lower band should sit parallel without lifting your back. You should sit comfortably; check. just raise your arms. If it falls under your chest, you may need to go down to the back size.
    The straps should sit comfortably in the middle of your shoulders. If they’re digging, your bottom band might be too big, so try going down from the back size.
    For a perfect fit, the middle should sit firmly on your chest, glasses should be fully covered and your breasts should support your breasts without excess fabric or shedding. Underwires should sit securely on your chest. With the lower band providing most of the supports, the straps should be supportive but comfortable.It is not easy to shop for cute date night underwear or pull pants when your curves are above average. Plus size underwear offers the kind of support that Isambard Kingdom Brunel would be proud to make you feel comfortable next to nothing, while this rope between looking delicate and stylish needs to walk – but you plan to wear it for a long time.
