Hundreds of plus-size fashion stores and more Ultimate Plus-Size Shopping List!

There are always different things to learn about when it comes to lingerie and as I continue blogging as I come across helpful tips I will pass them on to you. Some of these tips are tried and true others may not be as well known. But one thing for sure proper fit and care of your intimate wear can save time, money and discomfort in the long run so hear are a few things to consider about your lingerie.

1. It’s ok to wear your bra twice before you wash it but never wear the same bra two days in a row.
2. Many reposts show that a large number of ladies are wearing a bra that is the wrong size. Make sure to go to a specialty shop to be properly measured. Wearing the wrong size not only can make you look heavier but makes you clothes not look as crisp.
3. You get what you pay for when it comes to a bra. Up until 6 months ago my wife spent no less than forty-five dollars per bra and has been looking at corsets that run as much as three hundred dollars.
4. Bras don’t last forever. The most a bra will last is 12 months and that is only if you hand wash and air dry them.
5. Just because you’re a plus sized women doesn’t mean that you can’t wear sexy lingerie, just make sure that it has proper support and you will be ok.

It all starts with buying quality pieces to begin with. Sacrificing comfort for cuteness is something that a plus size woman can’t afford when it comes to a bra. It may be the perfect color but if it’s not in the right size and you’re spilling out or bouncing everywhere then the money that you saved on this trip will be spent when you have to replace your cute bra after washing it 2-3 times.
