Dress the Part - Undergarment Guide

With all of the new styles and options for the coming season, one thing is for sure. Nothing is going to make you feel as great as you do when you have on the correct undergarments. Getting a correctly fitted bra can make or break an outfit. I recommend getting measured in a store where they offer bra fittings. Both Lane Bryant and Victoria's Secret can help you out with this. I have found, though, that the number they give you may only be a starting point. That may the size you are in some bras, but other bras may be too tight across the back or the cups may not sit snuggly against you. Any time you are buying a new bra in a new style or brand I recommend getting a few sizes to try on. Here are some of my favorite places for sexy and comfortable bras in plus sizes.

For each store I have selected one sexy and one practical bra that I adore.

Hips & Curves:
This Ruffle Demi Bra is ridiculously cute. Right now it is available in 38 DDD to 44 DD in all black, black with pink ruffle, black with red ruffle, or all white. Some selections and color choices may be unavailable or limited. This bra is $42.95


The Essential Everyday T Shirt Bra looks oh so comfy. It is available in 38 DDD to 50 DD in black, lime, nude, mocha and turquoise. This bra is $22.95.


Lane Bryant Cacique:
Perfect for Valentine's the Ruby Red Pattern Balconette Bra is so cute. Stock is limited online right now but may be available in stores. This bra is $44.00.


The Smooth Balconette Bra is one of my favorites. I personally own several of these bras and can say they work with almost anything. The balconette is low enough to wear v - neck shirts and lower necklines but not so low that it makes everything bulge out the top. This bra is available in sizes 36C to 46DDD in delicate pink, cafe mocha, chocolate, algiers blue, white, black, and ruby red. It is prices $34 - $40.
Victoria's Secret:
I had written off Victoria's Secret for several years when it became harder and harder to find larger sizes. That was until not too long ago when I wandered in only to find a huge basket of bras in DDD! Thanks to that fateful day I have been eyeing some beauties on their website:

The Biofit Uplift Full Coverage Bra is to die for. Silky smooth and light weight, this bra gives the coverage and lift you need without any digging or pinching. I highly recommend this bra. Available in 32B - 40DD in a variety of colors. This bra is $45-$48.


This lace and striped bra is sure to make anyone feel sexy. Available from 32C to 40DDD in two colors. This bra is $48.

I hope you have found some selections that delight you. After all getting the right undergarments is all about making you feel great.
