Today’s Full Figure Lingerie Is Not Your Grandma’s Underwear!
Full figure lingerie has come a long way since our Grandmother’s nylon slips and bullet bras. As we’ve entered the 21St Century; lingerie has become an important part of a woman’s wardrobe. Besides function; lingerie is one way for a woman to embrace her femininity.
Even though more than half of women in the U.S. are a size 14 or larger and considered to be full figure or plus size; larger sized lingerie has been hard to find. For years the fashion industry simply ignored full figure women especially when it came to lingerie.
Catering only to slender bodies; leaving full figure ladies almost no selection and the few choices available were often ill fitting and unflattering.
The problem was, designers were just taking standard size patterns and enlarging them. Thanks in part to the power of the internet; manufacturers are realizing full figure ladies want more than girdles and support hose.
Online shopping means, full figure ladies no longer need to feel ignored or without choices when purchasing lingerie for themselves. With a worldwide marketplace; there are now companies that specialize in full figure lingerie and retailers are able to stock items like larger cup bras that were once only available by special order. Everything from beautiful bridal garments to exotic fantasy lingerie in quality fabrics like silk, satin, lace and leather are now available.
