Plus Size Lingerie- How to Accentuate Your Curves

Are you tired of fashion magazines telling plus size women to wear black because it makes them look thinner?  You'll be glad to hear that color doesn't matter; what does matter is the fit of what you’re wearing.  We’ve all read before about how to accentuate differently shaped-bodies– pears, apples, hourglass– and we all know what our best features are.  The key is to dress your own body to highlight the good and disguise the bad.  For plus size women especially, weight is not what needs to be hidden; plus, black is basic and, when overused, it makes a wardrobe boring.

With plus size lingerie, it’s even more important that you accentuate your best features, and that you keep your wardrobe lively.  For instance, if you want to accentuate your bustline, choosing a style with underwire can give you that perfect boost!  Many babydolls come in underwire, as do teddys.  For fun with color, try an underwire babydoll sell like the Sugar Plum Lace. 

Teddys are also great if you want to show off your legs; remember what your mother always told you about high leg openings making your legs look longer?  It’s only true if you don’t have saddlebags (another gift from mom!).  The Blue Mariposa Teddy not only has really high-cut leg openings, but it also is a delighful color of sea blue.

Speaking of legs, if you do have saddlebags or thick thighs, chemises are long enough to make them look slimmer.  Additionally, they usually have princess seams, which create a beautiful, curvy silhouette.  The Pink Butterfly Chemise Set is a great example of a chemise with princess seams; plus, it's slightly sheer, which adds to the sex appeal.

These are just a few ideas for how to dress to accentuate your shape-- don't be afraid to use color!
