Sisters-in-Size A prayer for the wild at heart kept in cages.

Preserve the Sexy May 17, 2009

Hey ladies… So far I’ve been talking about what’s wrong with the current plus-size trends and how to correct them, but tonight we’re going to talk about something a little different.

I haven’t seen how you are wearing tonight’s item… I just hope that you are.

Let’s talk lingerie ladies!

A fellow big girl told me that she doesn’t wear sexy underclothes because she thinks she would look bad. This is a fallacy. Well… it’s more like a half-truth. You will look bad in anything not made for your diva-sized figure. But the stuff made for us? Honey please. You will get no complaints at home!

So what type of lingerie is best for your fabulous figure? You’ve got plenty of options, but to keep from overwhelming you, I’m going to limit it to three. Three is a lucky magic number… so work some magic and get lucky! And even if you have no one to wear it for… wear it for your damn self! It will make you feel powerful.

Please note that all merchandise I suggest is modeled by plus-size models. To get a realistic idea on how something will look on you, you need a model that is a similar shape. I don’t know who told plus-sized fashion magazines and websites that it was okay to use regular models… but that’s a FAIL. I’m not trying to see some size 2 girl rocking what I’m going to put my bodacious body in.   Let’s keep it real on both sides people.

Let’s talk about Corsets first:

Corsets are fabulous because they hold everything in. But please make sure you get it in the correct size ladies… no one wants to see you bending the bones on a too small corset that has rolled up under your breasts like a rowdy set of window blinds.

Another option is the Babydoll: 

Babydolls offer a bit more coverage for the women who aren’t as comfortable undressed. It’s a nice medium. Please make sure that with your babydolls, you invest in a good pair of thigh-high stockings. Remember… you have to work it all the way out girls. Don’t go halfway.

Our final selection for tonight is the Gown:

Some of you have never tried lingerie before. I know that new things can be scary, so use the gowns to ease you gently into the sexy. We all know the sexy must be preserved but not ignored. So start long, and shorten the length on each consecutive gown you buy. Eventually, you’ll be at the babydoll.

By the way gals, if you follow the link for the pictured item above, it will take you directly to the website http://www.plussizeplum.com Plus Size Plum is offering 10% off when you put “Twitter” in the comment section. Get on that immediately. You know I love a good deal!

Lingerie PSA – Be proper ladies. We all know the time and place to break this stuff out. Don’t let me catch you in the grocery store in a babydoll and thigh-highs. I will not be nice. I already told you, as your friend, times are going to come when you don’t like me. This will be one of those times.

Until the next time… be lush ladies…
