Plus Size Bras
Ranked #805 in Fashion & Beauty, #13,821 overall
Defining Your Cleavage
Women of all shapes and sizes have been battling with their breasts for centuries. If anyone should wear a good bra it is a plus size woman. There is, after all, more to accentuate, manipulate and support.
It has been harder for plus size women to find bras; being limited in their style and comfort selections. Usually relegated to the ugly whities our grannies used to wear. Today even our grannies wouldn't be caught dead in them.
Today bras, even plus size bras, come in hundreds of styles and colors, each with a different purpose. There are bras to lift, support, shape and contain. There are bras for every day wear and special occasions.
Unfortunately, a curvy girl cannot just walk into any lingerie store and find this selection. Luckily we have the internet which has given us the access we so deserve.
Here you will find a collection of online retailers who specialize or offer plus size bras, like the one at left from Hips and Curves, for the curvy consumer. Happy shopping!

Before You Buy
Get out that tape measure...
Before you go shopping it is important to have your tape measure handy and a notepad to do some calculations. One of the main reasons a woman is uncomfortable in a bra is because she is wearing the wrong band or cup size.
Each of the following retailers has their own sizing information and I recommend you read it but you might want to read this article about fitting a bra to you get started.

Proper Fit is Vital
Not all bras are created equal. There are bras that minimize, maximize, and bras that are more for safety than esthetics. The "bra lady", Linda Becker (Linda's Bra Salon) takes viewers through different bras and how they should fit larger breasts.

Full Beauty
So pretty...
FullBeauty.com carries a full range of bras from size 38B to 54 G. They offer a large selection of styles and brands to choose from as well as lingerie and swimwear. There is a nice selection of styles but the lack of plus size models is disappointing. Their website currently ships within the U.S. only.Learn more about plus size bras from Full Beauty.
Her Room
Intimate apparel for women of virtually every size...
"Her Room has to have the largest selection of plus size bras on the internet. There are over 80 styles from many manufacturers (like Calvin Klein, Only Hearts, Panache, Wonderbra) to choose from and they offer a variety of sizing. Style choices do decrease as cup size increases. The only real downside is that none of the models appear to be plus size."Learn more about plus size bras at Her Room
Lane Bryant's Cacique
The plus size Victoria Secret...
"The Cacique line is sexier than your average bra. Even their everyday wear looks sexy. The website is easy to surf and they offer a multitude of ways to search for items or simply browse. The downside is they only offer sizing to triple D in 48 and under."Learn more about plus size bras from Cacique.
Addition-Elle
Progress makes perfect...
Addition-Elle has been developing their plus size bra line in leaps and bounds the last few years. This year they unveiled a line of back smoothing bras and this incredibly versatile Convertible Bra. As you can see from the image there are at least six ways to wear it -- I bet you can think of a few more.
Hips and Curves
Go ahead, get sexy...
"I would call their styling sexy glamorous. There are a few conservative styles but nothing your grandmother would wear (unless your grandmother is a hot tamale). There are not hundreds and hundreds of items to search through for each category. They've picked the best and most flattering pieces to offer their customers."Learn more about plus size bras from Hips and Curves.

Frederick's of Hollywood
It's all about the cleavage darling...
"Beautiful, flattering, sexy styles. I was surprised to see they had any plus sizes at all although there isn't a huge selection. If you're looking for a site that caters to your needs including using women in your likeness I'm sorry to say you won't see a plus size model here."Learn more about plus size bras from Frederick's of Hollywood.
