Released just last week at Lane Bryant, this Cacique piece features lace details– which can be a rare commodity in larger bra sizes– moderately slim convertible straps, and a pretty low plunge. You can get it in a bunch of sumptuous colors and a wide variety of sizes, which means that you’ll be able to scoop up a “watermelon” colored bra in 44DDD if you’d like!

Excited? Me too. I think I’m going to get one in Cloudy Day Grey (pictured) and another in Bamboo.

Lane Bryant: Cacique’s New Push-Up Demi Bra

I love this funky ruched Dress from Bonprix UK. It costs around $40 or so.

Add these plus-sized high socks from my very favorite sock shop, Sock Dreams. They hit above the knee and are available in deep colors with marled accents. $12.00.

Add a pair of Ballerina Flats from Evans London, which are currently on sale for around $20. I do love Evans London, and I can guarantee that whatever you find there will be of top quality no matter what you pay.

What would you suggest for accessories? I’m sure you have something great stowed away in that collection. . . do tell.

These red striped tights are exciting, and I found them at my newest sock/tight shop obsession: Sock Dreams. These Queen-sized tights make fun gifts and look ultra-festive, and you can find them in black & white, red & black, and red & white. $7.00 at Sock Dreams

Plus Striped Tights!

I was also pretty excited to see that Deborah Friedman of Plus Size Plum also has a new blog to record her announcements and interesting plus size insights! I really recommend checking in from time to time to see what’s going on. Right now, I love this post about Self-Esteem for Plus-Size women.

Sexy Undies. . . and a New Blog?!

I love these panties from Addition Elle, which are available in sizes up to 4X. If you hate granny panties, but you don’t want anything that’s too low-cut, I really recommend taking a look at them here. Rosy pink, deep blue, black? Fantastic.

Even better– you can buy three and get one free!

Addition Elle: Canadian Plus Shopping

Today I reviewed Lipo in a Box’s Bodysuit with Legs over at About Plus-Size Fashion, and I thought you might like to check it out to see what I found. Connie Elder’s amazing fabric stretches with you, and not only that, but you can choose to wear your own bra underneath if you prefer familiar support in the bust area.

If you’re curious where I like to shop for supportwear, I recommend the following sites:

• Lipo in a Box
• Spanx
• Silhouettes
• Figleaves

Happy Shopping!

Tia Lyn is one of my favorite plus-size lingerie designers. Her designs are so gorgeous, including this floral chemise in a soft mesh fabric. What a beautiful addition to a little honeymoon wardrobe or a fall time pick-me-up!

Check out this chemise, available in sizes XL-3X.

If You Miss Sexy 14+ Lingerie, Here’s One Amazing Piece

If there’s one thing I hate, it’s a persistent cardio bounce coming straight from an unsupportive sports bra. While I haven’t had too much trouble finding a sports bra, I have had difficulty finding one that holds everything together for high-impact activities.

Sometimes it’s helpful to check out non plus-size sites to get inspiration. I know that some people don’t like to page through pages and pages of skinnies (um, myself included) but my About.com colleague’s site had just the right piece for us. Check out Take the Bounce Test & the referenced video on Cynthia Nellis’ site.

So far, my favorite sports bra is the Panache 2001 Sports Bra, shown. I found it on Shopping MSN, here, if you’d like to check it out.
