How to Find Lingerie for Those Sexy Curves - A Guide for Curvy Women
Sometimes beautiful and curvy gals like you have a challenge when it comes to shopping for lingerie. Part of the problem is the Victoria’s Secret brand. They are the world’s most well-known lingerie brand, they even hold an annual runway event televised each year. Why is this a problem for curvy women? Well Victoria’s Secret models are rail thin—setting an industry standard.
Not only are these Victoria’s Secret models genetic wonders with professional trainers and dieticians, but their photos are heavily photoshopped. Unrealistic photos of unrealistic bodies! But that is who most of the lingerie industry designs for; and they do not usually make sizes above a 38 band or a D cup.
When you’re shopping for lingerie, you want to make sure you buy pieces that fit well to have the best effect, whether you’re trying to impress someone romantically OR you’ve got a photo shoot.
Match your sets. A matching set can bring attention to a great ensemble and to your body as a whole. When you’re mismatched, the eye is drawn to the more flashy color, losing some of its inherent energy.
Garter Belt. If you want to highlight an hourglass figure, you would look great with a garter belt. This can emphasize some lovely curves and bring attention to your beautiful thighs.
Corset. A corset is the original shape wear. It brings a nice line to fuller figures, supports the bust and can give support to a beautiful curvy figure in all the right places.
Babydoll. This delicate bra-dress combo combines lace and a flowing robe. It is great for fuller figures in giving a send of softness.
Bodysuit. This is THE piece you must have. A well fitted bodysuit can SLAY. It makes curvy women look like bombshells, highlighting the bust and the thigh curves.
Shape wear. These pieces can be great options for everyday wear or for sleeping / photography. Seamless pieces can fit a variety of clothing on top, but the smoothness can also look very flattering over your beautiful body.
Again, curvy women are beautiful! (Exhibit A, B) AND there are brands emerging that embrace that fact. Here are a few:
