If you wear a plus size, you may be frustrated about trying to locate lingerie in your size. Lingerie retailers like Victoria's Secret only carry the traditional extra small to extra large sizes. If you are interested in owning a few choice pieces of plus size lingerie, keep the following in mind.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Order online. The easiest way to find plus size lingerie is to shop over the Internet. Online retailers include Missalli Lingerie and Big Gals Lingerie.

  2. Step 2

    Find your size. Use your measurements to determine the size that you will order. On average, many plus size lingerie pieces will come in 1X to as large as 12X.

  3. Step 3

    Accentuate the bust. Most plus size lingerie pieces will draw attention to the plus size woman's robust breasts. Make sure that the lingerie offers you adequate support as well.

  4. Step 4

    Choose flattering styles. Find lingerie that complements your figure and hides any flaws. Long silk gowns, cami sets, and cat suits are designs that look good on almost any body shape.

  5. Step 5

    Pick simple and sexy prints. Avoid the plus size lingerie that comes in floral prints. Instead opt for sexier designs, such as leopard and black lace.

  6. Step 6

    Design your own plus size lingerie. Big Gals Lingerie allows women to choose the size, color and fabric used to create their lingerie pieces.

Tips & Warnings
  • Frederick's of Hollywood is one popular lingerie retailer that does offer plus sizes for women.
  • You should keep all receipts and tags on until you have tried the plus size lingerie on. If you don't feel comfortable in it or it doesn't fit, find out the company's return policy.

on 12/22/2008 Baby dolls are a great option for plus size ladies in lingerie. They accentuate the bust area and fall away from the hips and abodomen to create a sexy a-shape. Look beyond black for colors that brighten your skin tone - check out the sexy new styles at online retailers like Always For Me.
