What to Look For When Buying Plus Size Lingerie

In today's world, more woman are considered "plus size" when referring to actually clothing size than not. No matter the size of the woman, all of them want to feel feminine, flirty and desired. For some reason, lingerie choices seem to be geared more toward the smaller "non-average" size which can be frustrating when a woman with some curves is looking for an addition to her lingerie closet.

The easiest thing to do is find specialty shops that offer plus size lingerie either in a physical store or online. Shopping online can offer a larger variety to choose from. Be sure to read reviews and return policies.

Knowing what to look for when buying plus size lingerie is the most important element. Look for something that will flatter your body type. If your body shape falls under the inverted pear category and your breasts are bigger than your bottom than go ahead and accentuate your assets because chances are they're not going to be easily hidden in lingerie. Find something that creates great cleavage like a babydoll. Babydoll's are also ideal for the traditional pear shape as well. If your bottom half is the heavier part, the last thing you want to do is emphasize this with something too tight. Babydolls are feminine, flowing and flirty and have the ability to hide what most women consider their flaws. Avoid tight clinging fabrics. Even on the thinnest models, certain fabrics can make you appear like you have rolls. Looser styles seem to work best for everyone.

If you find something that fits absolutely perfect and makes you feel gorgeous, it is perfectly acceptable to stock up. This is considered a fashion emergency and is allowed on all budgets. Plus size woman know it's hard sometimes to find something that seems to have been made for their body so if you find something you love it, buy it in a few colors. Vendors change their fashion lines with seasons so there's a good chance if you go back to buy another one later, they may not be available.

The most important thing to look for is choosing something that makes you feel confident and even sexy while you're wearing it. It should be comfortable and not constricting, yet supportive. When you feel pretty underneath, your confidence will shine through. Self-confidence is the perfect accessory to any lingerie.
