Private Pampering

Not all lingerie is meant to please someone else. Sometimes you need a little private pampering. Try this:

• Light some candles, take a steamy bath filled with bubbles or your favorite oil. (Lavender and chamomile are both excellent for relaxing, and great for your skin, too.)
• Afterwards, slip into a thick bath robe or even some sexy and comfortable lingerie and curl up in bed or on your couch with your favorite movie, book or music.
• Remember: spending a little time on yourself will give you more energy to give to others.

How To Determine Your Bra Size

To determine your bust size, first measure your torso under your arms just beneath the breasts. For odd numbers, add one inch. Second, for cup size, measure your torso around the fullest part of bust. The difference in inches between the two measurements will give you your cup size:

• A=1"
• B=2"
• C=3"
• D=4"
• E=5"
• F=6"
• G=7"
• H=8"
• I=9"
• J=10"

Any lingerie shop (online or otherwise) will have a detailed chart to indicate the results of your bra size.

Bodystockings - Sexy and Useful

A body stocking is an article of lingerie, similar to a leotard or a cat suit. It usually has long legs, but it may have long, short, or no sleeves. It is usually made from a sheer fabric similar to those used for stockings and tights, or from fishnet material.

Body stockings are very sexy and can be used to seduce your partner, but they are also efficient. If you are wearing something super clingy and you want to wear stockings, a body stocking gives you the extra layer without creating any unsightly bulges. At the end of the evening when the dress comes off, your partner will be in for a treat!

Garter Belt Basics

So, what exactly is a garter belt ? Basically, it's a thin belt worn around the waist with straps, called garters, that clasp onto stockings to keep them from falling down. Usually the back of the garter is adjustable to fit different waist sizes and the garter straps can be adjusted for length.

Finding the right garter belt can take some doing and if you are thick at the waist, a garter belt may end up being quite uncomfortable. Garter belt alternates include body stockings and thigh high stockings that stay in place on their own. It's hard to beat the feeling of elegance though, that you get from a gorgeous bra, panty, garter belt and stocking lingerie ensemble.

Accessorizing Your Plus-size Garter Belt

Comfort and Class

For real comfort and an undeniably elegant look, wear a charmeuse night gown. The silky fabric clings to your curves in all the right places, at all the right times. You feel fabulous slipping into one of these gowns after a soothing bath or at the end of a long day. Whether you're treating yourself or someone else, charmeuse is a fabric made in heaven. Don't deny yourself!

Buying A Leather Corset

There is one very important thing to keep in mind when shopping for a plus size leather corset: Leather stretches. While you probably won't be wearing your corset as often as, say, your favorite pair of leather shoes, you may still move around in it enough to experience some leather relaxation. A fit a little on the snug side is a good idea, but keep your comfort level in mind.

Corsets in Fashion

Going Out on the Town?

There is perhaps no better occasion for sexy plus size clothes than a night out with your partner or with friends. If you're a curvaceous creature, why not show it off? Humans are visual creatures -- a man in particular -- and looking good is a perfect way to attract someone special...if that's what you're after. Of course just feeling good in what you're wearing is a top priority as well!

Bustier Support System

Think of a bustier as a bra for your whole torso. Knowing that, there's no need to shy away from wearing a strapless bustier. Even the largest busts are held in perfect place by the under wires that are built into every bustier. Often, back boning and even back lacing help to pull your whole look together. Strapless bustiers are also a great to choice to wear under strapless gowns - for any bust size or figure.
