Beauty

It’s no secret that we women love pretty things, and when it comes to pretty things for me, lingerie is at the top of the list. Oh no, I will not forsake a perfectly leathered handbag or the right heeled pump for a pair of panties mind you, but this does not mean that I forget the importance of the right underthings when it comes to personal style. Why? Because personal style has more to do with confidence than it does with what you are wearing. And if you are a fellow lingerie girl, then you know how much confidence you can get just from wearing the right bra, or simply by putting something pretty on underneath. But the catch is that a lot of women lack the confidence to just get there in the first place to the point of wearing lingerie. Why? Because our self-image and body issues weigh us down, no pun intended. And trust me, everyone has body image issues, yes, even the skinny girls. So if you are finding yourself in this predicament, perhaps I can help you out with some choices that will help you overcome those body issues, so that you too, can wear pretty things and feel great all day, and all night. And why shouldn’t you? You totally deserve it. And believing that is your first step.

Today we will have a look at some lingerie for the fuller figured girl.

You know, we all have tummy issues. Even the thinnest women get little days of bloat here and there and just don’t want anyone to see that extra weight. If you want to wear something sexy for your man and have this problem, try a babydoll. These are just so pretty and glide right over that trouble spot, and at the same time skim your hips as well if you want it to. Have the confidence to do it, because trust me girls, you put one of these babies on, he will NOT be thinking about your stomach. I love this Flora Nikrooz Together Forever Babydoll Sleepwear. Technically it falls under bridal wear, but hell, its only $24 bucks right now and hello, this is 2008. You don’t need a ring to show your man how you feel. I love the double layered hem, with the sheer underlay that shows *just enough* of what is on underneath. Target areas? Hips AND stomach. BONUS!

If you have tummy issues, my suggestion for panties would be something in the “hi cut brief” department like these pretty Olga Secret Hug Nylon Scoop Hipster Plus Panty These are great as they are high enough to offer some tummy coverage, but the nylon shapers in these babies also offer some great tummy, hip, and butt control as well. And see, you don’t need to wear granny panties when you are controlling that tummy. Grab some with some lace trimming to give you that extra feminine edge all day long.

The fuller figured girl has upper body issues that some just don’t. What you want in a bra for the fuller figure is wide straps, and an underwire. You definitely need the underwire for obvious support reasons, but when it comes to looking pretty, the underwire is going to lift and separate so that you don’t get that smushed together look that we know many women are SO fond of. I love this Lunaire Brussels Embroidered Underwire Bra. Wow this has pretty and practical all rolled into one. This one has beautiful coverage with just enough room to flirt, and the wide band will really make you feel comfy all over. The back band is also 3-rowed and closure and this is another thing you want to look for in a fuller figured bra. Another tip if you really want to dare a little, go for a little plunge in your bra like this one has. You can still wear revealing tops without looking like a…well, a tramp. This one underneath anything will ensure that what you wear over it, will fit you beautifully.

And if you dare, this bra also has to match the Lunaire Brussels Hi-Cut Brief Panty. Again, as mentioned above, the high cut will really provide the coverage you need in all the right places.
