Plus Size Tips

With fifty percent of American women wearing size 14 plus, there is absolutely no reason to feel uncomfortable in lingerie. A great fit will enhance your style just as a poor fit can destroy your look -- and your confidence.

For a sleek and slender lingerie silhouette, any color worn head to toe will produce a dynamically slimming look. Be creative – mix textures like lace and leather.

Match your pantyhose or bodystocking color to your outfit – including your shoes or slippers.

Shoes and slippers should have at least a one-inch heel – the taller the better.

Here's a great tip to avoid thigh friction: If you wear your pantyhose inside out, you won’t make that "thigh rub" noise. Try it and you'll be amazed.

Avoid chokers.

Long necklaces and pendants create a slender neckline.

If your legs are fuller inside, try a side slit. If your legs are fuller outside, a front or back slit is the better choice.

Next you need to determine your body shape. Are you a rectangle, a triangle, an inverted triangle, an oval or the coveted hourglass shape? All these shapes play a tremendous part in choosing what will look the very best on you.

If you are a rectangle you most likely do not have much of a waistline, however this can be remedied. Our suggestion would be to emphasize the waistline with a tapered style.

If you are an oval shape then you are probably carrying your weight in your middle. The best choice to draw the eye away from the midriff is to concentrate on your chest and neck area, with a beautiful top and noticeable jewelry. Never cinch your waist -- this will only draw the eye to the largest area.

If you are a triangle or an inverted triangle, heavy on bottom and little on top or vice versa. This is a simple one to fix. All you need to do is emphasize the smallest area. For example, if you are shaped like a triangle and are small on top, wear a solid pant and a gorgeous bra top. For the inverted triangle you would choose a solid top and a gorgeous bottom.

The hourglass shape is the easiest to work with. The beauty of having this body shape is that pretty much anything goes. You do not need to focus on any one area so you have many more options.

There are many women who are plus size and make the very most of their figure. With just a few learned tips, and some sexy lingerie you can flatter your beautiful plus size and feel great about your body.
