Q and A #1: Larger Size Lingerie
How in the heck does a big pretty girl like me find lingerie that suits my shape and doesn’t cost a fortune??
Well, I’m not sure I’m the best person to answer this, but I’ll help you to the best of my ability.
There are some sites that are directed specifically at large size lingerie, such as Hips and Curves. Some of their stuff is a tiny bit pricey, but you can get cute bras for $25 or less, and babydolls, bustiers, etc for under $50.
Eden Fantasys Lingerie has a filter where you can look at stuff by sizes. We have about 10 plus sized items…and I personally am going to purchase this one because it is teh sexeh and a pretty color.
I’ve actually gotten some of my negligees at Ross, TJMax and thrift stores (although I wouldn’t buy my underwear there!). I’ve gotten bras I’ve liked at Lane Bryant (although I’m not such a fan of the way their other clothes fit me) and Nordstrom’s Rack. Just wait for fabulous sales :)
Here are some other sites for decently priced plus sized lingerie that I HAVEN’T checked out, but provide for you because I’m awesome.
Also, on a side note, I’m a lingerie lover. As in, obsessed with it! If anyone would like to send me (new) lingerie, I will send you a photo of me wearing it. Email me at essinem at gmail dot com to talk to me about this.

I have also recently seen Secrets and Lace has a plus size range and the lingerie looks beautiful. It is more of the classic pin-up, vintage inspired pieces. Just thought I’d throw my bit in ;)
OOO I love the one you are getting! Very cool.
Just wanted to say Hi as well, love your blog, definitely one of the more intelligent (and sexy) ones out there! And I am sooooo tempted to do the Red Chair Project, but nervous (identity wise and body image wise…) I don’t live too far away though (one state to the east!)
You will love the sexy collection of lingerie at AlwaysForMe.com. They feature plus size corsets, babydolls, some of the sexiest chemises I’ve ever seen and a brand new collection for brides!
