plus size women's clothing

Thank you Harpy! Where do you get Custom-sized Corsets?

2009-11-09T11:16:00.002-05:00

I have often though Victorian style, I take this to mean with lace up back corsets, especially ones that could triple as sexy lingerie, club wear and shapewear would be the best buy. Your point of being adjustable, for optimum comfort is well taken with regard to this too! Harpy, where do you get custom-sized corsets? I found Hips and Curves has several styles of steel boned corsets, this one below is cotton twill lined and surprising comfort is mentioned in its write up! One corset in this line just comes up to your underbust, keeping the whole bust issue out of it, which is likely best if you wear large cup bras, or if your bust is in a whole other size range than your waist & / or hips.

They have 2 others in this line, that look just great, but they are all in the $130 to $150 price range. A bit too steep for some, like me for instance…Hips and Curves does have a wide selection of much more affordable plus size corsets, many of which have lace up back, but I doubt many are cotton lined. Still good for cooler parts of the year or for erotic lingerie purposes just in the summer. They all look great! This jacquard with lace inset corset comes in sizes 38 to 50!

They also have a wide variety of leather and patent corsets and lingerie, just for full figure women. Where you will find many lace up styles of leather and patent corsets.
This zip-front leather corset also has a lace up back!

Currently, also a lace up, and more to my price range, this mere $62 - $56 lace up the back corset, with side hook closure corset comes in black, purple and royal in two size ranges. Click on its picture to go to it at Bigger Bras in sizes 38 to 44, then scroll down to find it in sizes 46 to 50.

I have long though of some of Fredrick’s, (who have their corset / shapewear section together, likely where they belong), has some nice plus size corsets. Like their Renaissance corset, which comes in sizes up to 3XL, (Bust-54, Waist-46, Hips-54).

This one comes in red and black too.
For a women like my self, who is full busted, I like the idea of shoulder straps, especially if I am not going to be wearing a bra I trust with a corset. This corset does have a lace up back. Judging from how high up its side is in the picture, it may have a moderate to high back too. All of which should help with bust support.
Even if your shapewear is not showing, if you know you look pretty underneath, don’t you feel better? Next to the naturally customizing effect of lace up back corsets, wearing pretty lingerie corsets for shaping will also help you feel beautiful from your skin out!
This is in response to Harpy’s comment on our blog of 11/7/09 about Lytess, Re-Shaping wear?

Lytess, Re-Shapingwear?

2009-11-07T15:00:00.002-05:00

When you think about shapewear, do you consider the longer-term effects of wearing it? Maybe we should. I had my own experience with Squeem’s fajas, in its plus size waist cincher vest style, a while back and lost inches after wearing this compression shapewear style.
Now I have been reading about Lytess’ shapewear line with micro-encapsulation of cosmetic slimming agents, like caffeine. You can watch this Enews flick about it here.

According to Bliss’ FAQ about Lytess shapewear page, we can expect to loose 1.5” off our waists and 1” off our hips wearing the Lytess slimming corrective belt. It gets excellent reviews at Bliss.
You will also find Lytess at Amazon
The reviewers of the lytess slimming corrective belt, as seen below at Amazon are not so good. Amazon does have a variety of similar items which some of the reviewers of Lytess shapewear refer to in their reviews.

Lytess also has shaping shorts, Capri and leggings, which two bloggers at Fig leaves blog review after wearing for 18 days, with very good results! Read their Shaping up post where they give a few fashion pointers on wearing these styles!
The up shot of my looking into this is:

According to Bliss World, Lytess shaping styles sizes are S/M = 26 – 30”waist, and L/XL= 32 – 36” waist. At Bliss World their products get great reviews.
Amazon has a similar, yet different, selection of Lytess product, most without reviews so far.
Apparently they have a caffeine infused line, and a orange peel infused line, and they even have a slimming arm sleeve, and a slimming push up panty, but the largest size, waist band wise, they have available is the XL, equaling just up to a 36” waist. Not what some women would call plus size shapewear, yet perfect for others…

The woman who wrote the Fig leaves post says she wore the Lytess size small / medium, though she wears a size 14, and that the bike short style fits great under jeans.

The way I look at it:
For me, the only way I am going to confront shapewear is when the temperature is under 50 degrees, for extra warmth purposes as much as any thing else. The rest of the year, it is just too hot.
Shapewear costs plenty, or so it seems to me. As long as you are going to consider buying any, you should, if possible get,

Long lasting results
Relief from back pain
Excellent posture

Yeah why not, it cost plenty; you should get plenty for your bucks.
The only reason I stopped buying Squeem waist cincher vests, is likely because I am short. Apparently after to gut reduction from wearing my first one to smithereens, I ended up getting poked in the underbust and thighs.

If you are taller than 5’1.5” the Squeem fajas might work just as well for you.
Her Room now carries them too! They have them in sizes up to 5XL and they have reviews from full figure women who wear them. They have both the vest style and waist cincher style below. Click on either picture to shop them at Her Room.

And the rubber waist cincher, which has excellent to o-kay reviews from full figure women.

The wait cincher above really does have a rubber smell. One thing the reviews about the Lytess waist belt reviews say is that is smells wonderful!
The Squeem styles really do deliver what I mentioned I expect from shapewear. Now, with even less of a gut, but still one I would like to tame, I may well try the Lytess corrective belt, or leggings or shorts. Many of the Amazon reviewers complain about in the Lytess belt is roll up and down. Bliss wearers do not. Naturally with stays, like Squeem styles, you can not get that. With pant styles, I will not get some more of that back fat off…
A tough choice, Lytess belt or leggings, but possibly a good product worth trying. If you are taller than I, the Squeem ones above will do you good, until spring…then it is just too hot.

Thank you Danae and Plus Size Sports Bra for your comments!

2009-11-04T15:13:00.001-05:00

Danae, I can’t wait to see the great full figure bras we can find only online, for most of us, and simply try them on in local stores!
Especially since now that I need a 34J rather than a 36J, I ordered and received one of my favorite bras. When I tried it on, I got that crummy, squished double boob effect by simply wearing a smaller band size.
Yet my every day favorite Panache Tango II Super Bra fits perfect in its smaller band size. Which is just what you would think right? Yet not so my other favorite Panache Harmony bra, I am assuming it is just a quirk of that single bra I received, but now I will be reluctant to order it in a 34J.
It seems you must try each one on, to find out if it fits. There was a time in recent years when I, and judging from some reviews, for a time, other women, received Le Mystere’s Dream Tisha full fit bras with pointy cups. Then other women’s reviews, after that time got better, with no mention of pointy cups! I suppose mishaps will happen.
How nice it would be to simply hand it to the local department store’s bra fitter, explain one’s surprise at these problems and let her take it from there. That would be much better than bringing back to the post office, wondering whether to order it again, or not, in my new band size? Or should I try a larger cup size, or what?

Thank you Plus Size Sports bras! You are right! There are plenty of nice online stores that offer great style and prices! Her own, Plus Size Sports Bra, offers a good selection of Champion and other sports bras at excellent prices.
I still like the Enell sports bra, and find that now, until 11/30/09, using code 20shop at Bigger Bras, on orders of $75 you can get 2 of these excellent bras, if you order an in-stock one, or two. Then you can get 20% off them! They have all Enell sizes 0 to 8, or, (32C to 52DD), in stock, but you would have to order at least 2, or one, and something else. At Bigger Bras these great high compression sports bras are just $54, it is usually $60. Or you could just get one, yet use there code freeship to get it with paying for the shipping, (that offer is good on any orders over $25).

Plus Size Bras and Danae’s comments were on this blog’s post of 10/26/09,
Knicker’s Americas denial of Larger Cup Size Bras has some good news for us full figured, and makes some good points!

Knicker’s Americas denial of Larger Cup Bras has some good news for us full figured, and makes some good points!

2009-10-26T11:31:00.001-05:00

Just from the title alone, I had to read it. A few years ago, just as I had found my first right bra size, where the underwires lay nice and flat between my breasts, some ladies I was walking up to school with stated plainly that there is no need for a cup size over DD. As these were, and still are, fond acquaintances of mine, I simply shied away for a bit.

Now I find, Thanks to Knicker’s blog article Americas denial of Larger Cup Bras , that at least retailers in the US are changing their perspective! Retailers like Kohls, J. C. Penny and Target are revamping their lingerie lines, launching new labels, and even offering FITTING SERVICES. Perhaps with the addition of fitting services these stores will notice, should they take feed back from their fitters, that quite often a large cup size rather than band size is needed for some women to get a proper fit!

No mention made of if these stores will start carrying bras from DD to K cup sizes, but still, one can hope!

Then they point to many people’s misconceptions of larger cup sizes. Showing a very crummy, (o-kay, insulting), video that has been passed around as an email forward. Well insulting to women who wear over a D cup size. This could not help us one bit.

Then just below it they show just how normal, not at all fat, or outlandish, a woman who wears a DD cup size, in profile, looks like. And this, is pretty much, well with the exception of a larger waist and bit of a tummy, is what my torso’s profile looks like, wearing a properly fitting bra,. My Panache Super Tango II, in a size, now 34J, gives me just the same nice, even, not exaggerated bust profile, and it is not even a minimizer bra!

If I wear the wrong cup size, smaller does it, it does look like the cartoon video’s larger, DD and E examples, except with the double boob effect.

Knicker’s blog feels that if they keep telling women about larger cup bras and lingerie, women will realize that these are real, not mutant sizes.

Have I taken the time to check out Kohls, Pennies and Target for large cup bras. No. I haven’t the time yet. Right now, I am sticking to shopping on line for my bras.

This week, until 10/31, Bigger Bras’ 25% off your order of $100 in stock merchandise, (use code 25togo), makes shopping on line for full figure bras and lingerie even more affordable. If you have to backorder what you want, they have a free shipping deal good until 12/29, (using code freeship).

This is the Panache bra I mentioned above at Bigger Bras, currently in stock in some sizes at $31.20 and $46.80. You can backorder it in a multitude of sizes, up to 30 = 40D to K, 42DD to J and 44D to FF, on sale at $46.80.

You can rely on Bigger Bras for a good selection of plus size and large cup bras

Shopping on line for bras is great once you know your bra size. You may even be able to get a fitting at a department store near you by now!

2009-10-20T10:23:00.003-05:00

Plus Size Ashley commented on our post of 10/6/09 regarding Bali’s popular Satin Tracings full figure bras coming in large cup bra sizes D to G in band sizes up to 44! Plus Size Ashley says she wears a similar one by Ashley Stewart. She did not say which one; I find they have a strapless and regular shoulder strap version of their Butterfly Bras. You can watch this video about them!

These bras have a unique double back band, which should really boost support, they say it smooth back fat too. These bras have graduated push-up gel pads for shaping. These are underwire bras, unfortunately they seem to only come in a small array of sizes 38 to 44D to DDD.

Thank you Plus Size Ashley for pointing Ashley Stewart’s bras out to me, I like their career wear section too!

2 reasons why I can’t wait to get down to a G cup!

2009-10-07T13:10:00.003-05:00

If I can get down to a GG cup size I could fit into Elomi’s new deeply plunging, smooth, seamless full figure bras you see below. If I can get down to a G cup I’d fit their new Demi-cup underwire bra, which is the 2nd bra down pictured on our intimates page today.
To shop this plunge bra at a 10% off discount, note the Bigger Bras discount code to your right, then click on this bra’s picture.

To read its excellent reviews go to Her Room, either by using the text link in the 1st sentence of this post, then take its picture in that page’s right column that tells you it goes to Her Room. Or use the Her Room banner in this blog’s right column and you will find it under Elomi bras.
Bigger Bras dose not carry the Demi-cup bra, but so far it has 2 all five star reviews at Her Room, from women who wear 42FF and 46F bras. It comes in sizes 36, 38 and 40D to G, 42D to FF and 44D to F.

Bali Satin Tracing Full Figure Bras, in G cup sizes, and now just $15

2009-10-06T12:55:00.002-05:00

I did not know any Bali Bras, like the popular Satin Tracings full figure underwire minimizer bras, came in G cup sizes! They do now! Just My Size has them in sizes 36, 38, 40, 42 and 44C to G cup sizes as well as in sizes up to 46, 48 and 50C to DDD, today for just $15. I know Bali Bras are often on sale at Just My Size, but I do not know how long this one lasts. These, now large cup bras, are also on sale at Her Room and Bare Necessities, but the Bare Necessities sale will be gone by tomorrow. Just My size has them in the best size ranges anyway.
Just My Size has them in 5 colors at just $14.99 now. You can click on this picture to shop them at this fantastic price.

I used to wear these until I gained enough weight to figure out: No, the band is too big, and yet the cups are too small…hum? Must be I have the wrong size.
Before I gained all that weight these Satin Tracing bras were among my favorites. I also did not know that bras came larger than E cup sizes…
Live and learn!
Bare Necessities, Her Room and Just My Size carry this Bali bra in cup sizes up to G, but Just My Size still has the best size selection, and today the best price!

The Super Tango II, above, is my go to, and daily bra most of the time.
Bit of a strange shape on the Harmony bra. Maybe I need a still larger cup size? Nevertheless, I love the lift and support.
I own several of each of these, recommend them highly and wear a J cup size.

Thank you again Designer Studio

2009-09-25T13:21:00.002-05:00

For giving us a kind comment on our blog of 7/1/09. Especially nice as I have been sick since last Friday and kind words help a lot! Designer Studio does not seem to carry Plus Size Women’s Clothing, but they do have designer accessories.
Currently Designer Studio’s new arrivals featuring Kenneth Cole down jackets, but they tend to come in sizes up to XL.

This Baby Phat puffer jacket comes in sizes 1XL to 3XL. The faux fur trim is detachable, and the elegant baby phat logo cats are subtle!

Baby Phat also has a fur bomber, belted plaid, and other removable fur puffer cat jackets in their Plus Size Section.
For a sleeker look in jackets, I like Silhouettes’ Gillian Grey Pointe di Roma Riding Jacket, and their new Cascade Plaid Jacket below. The riding jacket comes in sizes up to 26W and this cascade jacket in sizes up to 3XL.

Silhouettes makes it easy to get the most out of your wardrobe dollar with great money saving deals like this one below!

Designer Studio also has True Religion Buddha hats and Ed Hardy sunglasses in new arrivals.

When I was young, I got the impression that Buddhism was a peaceful religion. I am reading The Bloody White Baron: The Extraordinary Story of the Russian Nobleman Who Became the Last Khan of Mongolia this week and finding out how wrong an impression that was! This book is not for the faint! Does a great job of filling in missing pieces of world history, in euroasia, I did not get in school. I need not wonder what exactly a White Russian, (no not the drink), is anymore!

Although the visual impressions one gets reading it are very much along the lines of the temple pieces of the above-mentioned Ed Hardy sunglasses. Curious.

My daughter, now in elementary school, says they are not allowed to wear skulls to school. Good!

But just why is Death in vogue?

I get Bomber jackets, looks great, and functional, but skull prints?

A few months ago I wrote of how enthused I was to find after a short while of doing 2 or 3 weight lifting routines several times a week, my bra straps no longer made groves, nor bit into my shoulders!

I said I would later post links to which exercises I was doing so that readers could enjoy the same happy shoulder results! Then during the course of the summer, I tried repeatedly, and found no simple web pages to direct you to.

So I looked at the very few exercise books I have kicking around the house. I found, sure enough, I must have gotten it from this one below, as the other one is basic ballet exercise.

Now for me this was just too much reading. I love to read, but where exercise is concerned, I would rather just do it. This is a smallish book too, just 251 pages, including the index. For some reason I cannot do it, this regime, but I must remembered the weight lifting exercises I was doing from leafing through this book.

I guess my inability to read while exercising & / or to follow a regime makes it clear why ice skating worked for maintaining my, at that time, some tone, until my daughter tired of hockey skating and did not want to pursue hockey its self, or any other type of skating.

I guess I have a better chance with my inadvertent Shapeup, see post of 9/8/09, which is based on walking our newly adopted dog. I bet the dog will enjoy walking much longer than my daughter was into ice-skating. I am putting, well have already moved the follow up of that here at Full Figure Women’s Swimwear under Fitting Fitness In.

An fully expected pro of walk the dog fitness is, even though I have been sick since last Fri AM, I still walk the dog, long walks in the AM, about an 45 min. to 1 hour, time permitting. Clothes are fitting better all over! This week the bras and panties have not fit well for years do now! In addition, a dog is just as good company when you are sick as well as feeling fine!

Another unexpected find:
Or is this what they mean by Permanent Weight Loss? Or in my case, Permanent Toned Up?

Years ago when I first started ice skating regularly, for me, it amounted to approx 1.5 to 2 hours a week, after about 6 weeks, I went to get out of the car one day: I stood up and my jeans remained seated. I have since then worn a Levis, Misses size 14, rather than the previous size 16, jeans. Though I had begun to Feel Out of Shape, since about 1 month since we stopped skating regularly.
I started wearing Squeems plus size waist cincher, or Fajas the winter of 2007. It brought my waist down to 37”, where it stayed until I started walking our dog.
Then just a few months ago, I did those weight lifting exercises, did not last for long, our cats come to cuddle with me when I lay down, and I believe the most effective one, (perhaps you’d call it a butter fly?), was done lying down, and the weather got muggy…Regardless, I stopped. Well the shoulder groves are subtle, but though they have returned, are not red, nor sore either.

So I am thinking 2 things,

Any exercise program, or form of play, that appeals to you, as in Ice Skating, is worth trying for a while. You can still experience long term good results.
Perhaps it is just improved muscle tone ueto improved posture?

An exceptionally nice price on new style Fantasie Plus Size and Large Cup Size Bras

2009-09-22T13:19:00.000-05:00

This new color, and apparently style, of Savannah large cup bras are just $48 at Figleaves, where this picture will take you if you click on it. The black style, which you can also see on our full figure bras page near the top, now, has a much deeper plunge and price.

Either style of Fantasie’s Savannah bras are designed to give us fuller busted women’s breast a more forward projection.
I only found two reviews of this bra, in it’s older, black with deeper plunge, style at Her Room. One from a woman who wears a 38GG, who gives it 5 stars for perfect fit and beauty. Another from a woman who wears a 34G, who says it gives fabulous support, yet has an odd shape, and itchy lace. So this time reviews are hard to tell by. Except that this bra does not appear to come in 38GG, unless it did earlier. If not perhaps, it runs large in the cup size?
