Plus Size Lingerie Guide
Lingerie is about how it makes you feel - powerful, beautiful, and unapologetically yourself. This guide walks you through every style, how to find the right size, and how to wear lingerie with confidence at any size.
Plus Size Lingerie Styles Explained
Lingerie Sets
A matching bra and panty - the foundation of any lingerie collection. Our sets come with coordinated pieces designed together. Choose from lace, mesh, satin, or embroidered styles.
Babydolls
A loose-fitting top that flares below the bust, usually paired with matching panties. The flowing silhouette flatters every body shape and is one of the most comfortable lingerie options.
Bodysuits
One-piece garments that hug the body like a swimsuit. Bodysuits create a smooth silhouette and can be worn as lingerie or as a fashion piece under jeans and blazers.
Teddies
Similar to a bodysuit but with a looser, more delicate construction. Teddies often feature lace, sheer panels, and decorative straps. Ideal for special occasions.
Chemises
A slip-style garment that hangs from the shoulders to mid-thigh. Chemises are effortlessly elegant and comfortable enough to sleep in. Great for a romantic yet relaxed look.
Corsets & Bustiers
Structured pieces with boning that shape the waist and lift the bust. Modern plus size corsets are designed for comfort and come with stretch panels. A showstopper for special occasions.

How to Choose Plus Size Lingerie
1. Start With Your Measurements
Measure your bust, waist, and hips and compare to the size chart. Do not guess - sizes vary between brands and even between styles within the same brand.
2. Consider the Occasion
Everyday comfort calls for soft bralettes and seamless panties. Date nights shine with lace sets or bodysuits. Special occasions like Valentine's Day or a honeymoon deserve a showpiece like a corset or teddy.
3. Pick the Right Fabric
Lace is beautiful but less stretch. Mesh breathes well and moulds to curves. Satin feels luxurious and offers some stretch. Read more in our fabrics guide.
4. Prioritise Comfort
The most beautiful lingerie in the world is worthless if it digs, pinches, or rides up. Look for flat seams, adjustable straps, stretch panels, and breathable fabrics. You should feel amazing in it, not just look amazing.
Wearing Lingerie With Confidence
“We believe that every woman deserves to feel beautiful, confident, and comfortable in her own skin.”
Confidence in lingerie starts with fit. When a piece fits properly, it flatters naturally - you do not need to hold your breath or adjust constantly.
Stop comparing your body to models. The purpose of lingerie is to celebrate your body, exactly as it is right now. Every curve, every line, every inch is worthy of beautiful things.
If you are new to wearing lingerie, start with something you feel comfortable in - a pretty panty set, a soft lace bralette - and build from there. Read more in our confidence and body positivity guide.

Plus Size Lingerie FAQ
What is the best plus size lingerie for beginners?
A babydoll is the best starting point for plus size lingerie beginners. The flowing silhouette skims the midsection, the adjustable straps accommodate different bust sizes, and the overall feel is comfortable rather than constricting. Pair it with matching panties for a complete look. Our Larissa Plus Lingerie Set is a popular first choice.
What lingerie is most flattering for plus size women?
The most flattering lingerie depends on what you want to highlight. High-waisted sets accentuate the waist, babydolls skim the midsection, bodysuits create a smooth hourglass shape, and corsets provide dramatic waist definition. Dark colours and lace details are universally flattering on fuller figures.
Should I size up or down in plus size lingerie?
When in between sizes, size up for comfort. Lingerie that is too tight can dig into the skin and feel uncomfortable, while a slightly looser fit drapes more elegantly. Always check the size chart for each specific piece since sizing can vary between styles - a bodysuit may fit differently than a babydoll.
Is plus size lingerie only for the bedroom?
Not at all. Many plus size lingerie pieces double as fashion items - bodysuits work under blazers, bralettes pair beautifully with high-waisted jeans, and camisoles layer under cardigans. Lingerie as outerwear is a growing trend that embraces confidence and personal style at any size.
How do I take care of plus size lingerie so it lasts?
Hand-wash lingerie in cool water with a gentle detergent, then lay flat to dry. Avoid the dryer - heat breaks down elastic and lace. Store bras with cups nested (never folded) and keep delicate pieces in a lingerie bag. With proper care, quality lingerie lasts 6-12 months of regular wear.
