Make Your Curves Work, with Plus Size Erotic Lingerie!
In no arena has lingerie made greater strides than with the revamping of plus size erotic lingerie. Now, plus size women can feel and look elegant and sexy in stunning lingerie that really brings out their inner vixen!
At first glance, plus size erotic lingerie doesn’t look any different than smaller sized lingerie. All of the items are made out of the same materials and manufactured in much the same way. The only real difference between the two finished products is the overall cut of the lingerie.
Plus size erotic lingerie is usually cut in such a manner as to provide extra fabric in the rear, hips, and stomach areas while still retaining the basic feminine shape of the lingerie. The idea is to draw the eye from these areas, and toward the bust. This also makes the items much more comfortable to wear and provides for a more flattering shape when you look at yourself in the mirror.
Although the selection of plus size erotic lingerie in the retail stores is somewhat limited, there are so many online options available to you, that you are sure to find just what you are looking for!

Here is how to select the types and styles of lingerie to help you show your best, in comfort and class!
1. All Curves are Not Created Equal
Take a good look in the mirror and identify what you love and don’t love about your body. If you dislike your hips or waistline, you will want to draw attention to the upper part of your body. Indulge in plus size erotic lingerie and bras designed to produce cleavage and accentuate your curves.
If you feel like your breasts are too full but you’ve got shapely legs, then they should become your focal point. A babydoll with a high waist will provide support for your top while letting you flaunt what’s below.
If you haven’t yet found a comfort zone, indulge in a full-length satin chemise with an a-line cut and perhaps a flirty slit on the side. If you do not like your upper arms, look for a sheer or color-coordinated short robe.
The key is to draw attention away from what you do not like about your body, and place it where you feel like being noticed!
2. Everyone Needs a Little Support
The best-kept secret among celebrities (such as Oprah) and those in the know has to do with the latest lingerie weapons, which can keep even the most problematic physiques in check. Modern-day support garments minimize stomach bulge, lift and separate, and produce a smooth contour under your clothes.
Best of all, innovations in fabric and design mean that the painful confinement of girdles (and other instruments of torture) are a thing of the past. Look for camisoles with built-in bra support and high-cut briefs that offer hidden tummy panels.
If you are unsure of your bra size, please see my sizing page for easy figuring. Making sure that you wear the correct bra size serves not only to make you more comfortable, but it can instantly change your silhouette and may even cause you to drop a dress size!
Spanx is one particular company that specializes in producing comfortable, head-to-toe support (shapewear) to keep your curves looking their best. Sarah Blakely, who founded the company out of her apartment, said “I bought clothes that looked amazing in a magazine or on the hanger, but in reality magnified every panty line and imperfection.”
You can shop for excellent shapeware, at HerRoom. These are the same exact shapewear worn by actresses being filmed, and by "women who know" that you see every day! They are becoming more and more popular as more women learn their benefits. If you are serious about greatly improving your natural figure in clothing, you owe it to yourself to take a thorough look at shapewear.
If you have a tummy, choose high-waisted briefs over bikini cuts. Not only will they fit more comfortably, but they are great at covering any stretch marks or other flaws and will flatter your shape.
3. Less is More
When it comes to color, keep it simple. A monochromatic look will do wonders to help elongate the bodyline and slim your proportions. In other words, keep the pieces that you wear at any one time as close to the same color as possible.
Which shades work best? Dark tones such as navy, burgundy, brown or black will give you a more slender appearance. Another great rule of thumb is to choose colors that flatter your complexion.
It is wise to be cautious of patterns. Some smaller, more discreet prints may add to an outfit, but larger designs have a tendency to “clutter” or look different when they drape over problem areas you may be want to conceal. This has the unfortunate result of drawing the eye directly where you do not want it to go!
If you have a personality that must express itself with multiple colors or styles, a great way to spice up your wardrobe can come from adding on a couple of flashy, attention-getting accessories.
4. Is Bigger Better?
One of the biggest misconceptions that many full-figured women have is the notion that choosing larger sized lingerie will hide unsightly bulges and ultimately make them look slimmer. In reality, a shapeless, ill-fitting piece will not define anything, either good or bad, and will make your body appear much less attractive than you would look in clothes more suited to your accurate size.
It’s fine to shy away from body conscious items. Lingerie pieces should be a natural reflection of your personality. If you have a conservative personality, wearing longer gowns or adding layers to your look will enhance your beauty and allow you to feel sexy without having to bare all. Should you have a more playful, flirty nature, the sky is the limit!
Plus size erotic lingerie includes stunning camisoles with delicate embroidery, frilly boy shorts that provide excellent coverage while exuding a youthful, sexy vibe, and buttery soft satin chemises that feel utterly luxurious against the skin.
5. Internet Shopping for Lingerie
The internet is such a good resource for plus-sized women that many businesses have opened their virtual stores and specialize in nothing but full-figured lingerie. With a click of the mouse, you can delight in finding an elegant slip or searching anonymously for something more risqué. These retailers know their consumers and many of the items that can be purchased online cannot be found anywhere else. The designs of the plus size erotic lingerie items from these specialty retailers tend to be more exotic. Since these retailers only cater to plus size women, most of their designs will fit the full figured form better than items found at the large chain retail stores. A number of these retailers even carry leather, latex, and fetish lingerie for the plus size woman. Many of these websites offer a multitude of styles for every mood or occasion.
Not only do you not have to deal with impossibly thin sales associates, but you can have the freedom to shop from your home, at any time of day or night.
My best recommendation, for plus size women is HerRoom. They have all the above items (babydoll with high waist, full-length satin chemise, camisoles with built in bra support, boy shorts, etc.) in plus sizes, and with a variety and selection that will thrill you. I have always been happy with their quality and service. Buy Plus-Size Lingerie at HerRoom.com

In other words, keep the pieces that you wear at any one time as close to the same color as possible.
