Have you ever noticed how different you feel wearing a red lace bra, instead of your perfectly fine, utilitarian, nude t-shirt bra? There’s just something empowering about wearing sexy lingerie. Knowing you’ve got a little hidden secret underneath, gives you a boost, both literally and figuratively.
There was a time, and it wasn’t too long ago, that it was nearly impossible to find beautiful, well constructed, sexy plus size lingerie. Thankfully, that’s no longer the case, as women like us have demanded a change, and we have the spending power to create a retail transformation. Now you can find beautiful swimsuits, pants, dresses and sportswear that fit properly and look awesome. It’s less about wanting to look sexy for our partners, although that’s certainly a factor too. More importantly, we like to feel beautiful and look sexy in our skin, and that’s a boost for anyone’s self esteem.
Finding plus size fashions in mainstream categories is simpler. The search for beautiful plus size intimates proved to be a bit more arduous than expected. The fact of the matter is that sexy plus size lingerie has been slower to get to the marketplace. Thanks to companies like Torrid and Olga, along with a few others, there are lovely things to choose from. I was able to find gorgeous nighties, teddies, bustiers, bras and panties that even make me melt when I look in the mirror. I want you to have that same experience. Embracing our real bodies, and celebrating them for their unique beauty, in all shapes and sizes, should be a privilege and right for every woman. Cheers to us! Here are my picks for Plus Size Lingerie: Top 10 Best Sexy Essentials.
1. Best Sexy Plus Size Nighty: Torrid Lace Chemise
(Torrid)
When it comes to sexy plus size lingerie, Torrid totally gets it. They’re creating inspired and beautiful bras, panties and shapewear that you can feel beautiful about wearing. It’s functional and feminine. This lace chemise is a perfect example, and a great way to spice up your nighttime look, even if you’re home alone. The flattering style is made more perfect because it’s designed with underwire cups that offer a little lift, and create a revealing neckline that’s elegant, without over the top spillage. The nylon and spandex fabric means a simple handwash will keep it looking beautiful for the long haul. Pretty panties underneath would add a hint of allure to this lovely nightie. Add a sweet satin robe, and you’ve got the perfect evening ensemble.

This full bust corset is made of gorgeous, high-quality brocade fabric, trimmed in eyelash lace. The premium front metal zipper closure makes it easy to get into and out of, but the real clincher with this corset is that it features eight spiral steel bones, which means you’ll get amazing support.

This corset comes in eight beautiful colors, so pick the one (or more) that suits you best. Daisy’s Beaded Corset offers a more embellished look, and the same great boning and support.

The sheer fabric is light and airy while the flowey style is curve accentuating, and the elastic waist provides the perfect amount of shapely definition. The Stretch Lace Romper with Adjustable Waist is a lot more sheer, with a back side that’s uber attractive.

If you’d prefer flirty and fun, the plus size Garden Babydoll could be the perfect choice, and its underwire cups give your bust a beautiful look. The Off The Shoulder Babydoll offers a completely different look that’s a lot more playful.

6. Best Sexy Plus Size Bralette: Torrid Lace Overlay Mesh Bralette
(Torrid)
This Torrid mesh bralette is so pretty, sexy and over the top elegant, that “ooooh la la” doesn’t even begin to cover it. The lace overlay almost dares one to look beyond it. Cut crop style, this blush pink bralette features great detailing on the front and the back. It’s stretchy, soft and comfy, with no underwires or padding. The adjustable straps give it just the right amount of lift, and I’d be wearing this in place of a camisole under a buttoned jacket or a deep V neck or scoop neck top. It also comes in a super sexy red and black version, but if color is your thing, you should check out the Floral Print Microfiber & Lace Racerback Bralette. These would also make perfect sleep bras, especially paired with matching panties.

This classic unlined, bra-friendly camisole is designed to fit and flatter plus size women. The scalloped lace trim at the neckline and straps and lettuce edge hem give it the potential to wear as underwear or outerwear. And the fact that these cute camis come in more than a dozen colors means you can get as many as you need to match your wardrobe. For fun sleep wear, add some sexy lace panties. You can choose your favorite style from bikinis to boyshorts, or even a high waisted panty.
