Introducing www.PlusSizeBrasAndPanties.com

As a reader of this blog you will probably know that I am also a Plus Size Lingerie Website owner….or maybe not.

 The other day I had a woman contact me with some questions. After sending her some advice she was surprised that I am also a shop owner. This, in turn, surprised me.

I think I refer to my site constantly but this may not be so.

My website adventure began after many years of creating clothing for women. Many of my clients have been plus size girls who had difficulty finding a stylish wardrobe. It was never a problem to design and produce the outfit but then came the underwear problem!!!

These wonderful ladies were struggling to find nice lingerie. My work in film has given me the opportunity to work with exquisite lingerie for many petite actresses. Over and over the same thoughts always occurred to me. “This lingerie is Gorgeous! Why don’t they make this for bigger gals?”

Being an avid internet user and shopper it slowly became clear that I should develop a resource for plus size women’s lingerie.

That was 4 years ago.

My website boutique www.PlusSizeBrasAndPanties.com offers a wide range of lingerie for the curvy woman. I am constantly struggling to find fashionable and beautiful lingerie in the widest selection of sizes.


A quick look at lingerie available from my web boutique in Plus Sizes!
I treat my website as a neighborhood boutique and act as if I am the local shop keeper. I love to interact with my customers and offer old fashioned customer service. I believe women enjoy interacting with other women…specially concerning underwear!

I invite you to come and view my website. Send me your comments or suggestions.

I strive to create a friendly, easy to use, center for full figured lingerie. My business is based on long term customers and continuing referrals. So if you like what you see, please recommend it to others. If you don’t like what you see, please tell me so I can continue to improve and fill the needs of todays woman.

www.fat-nurse.com Red Corset Review

Meet the lovely Devon of www.fat-nurse.com


Here is her short introduction.
I'm 19 and I am currently a student in my second year of studying to be a Mental Health Nurse. 
I come from Essex, UK.
I'm a girl who plays World of Warcraft.
I’m around 5′4.5″ and weigh-in somewhere either side of 260lbs, I’m typically a UK size 22/24.


Read her post from December 2010 or jump over and visit her blog.

PlusSizeBrasAndPanties.com review – corset!


I recently got hold of a lovely corset from Plus Size Bras and Panties (.com.)
I did a fair few corset reviews earlier in the year but I am on the mission to find the perfect one for me. This corset is pretty close. Usually I find that no matter how tight I lace them the back panel never fully covers my back, even though they fit fine elsewhere. I laced this corset myself (first time!) and found that this one ALMOST perfectly gave me back coverage. I have a bit of a nightmare with corsets because I’m smaller up top than I am around my hips and belly but this wasn’t so bad.
016
009
It did come with instructions as to how to lace it properly, and I THINK I got it right. It looks right anyway and the central loops adjust easily.
003
The boning, I think, is proper steel. Either way it’s REALLY strong. As are the closures. Sometimes with corsets I find that the hooks and eyes aren’t even put in properly and they snap/ping off when you increase the tension, which is stupid. These are well made and don’t budge at all.
015
Looking on the site, there’s loads of bras and underwear (I hate the word panty/panties!) But there’s also a beautiful leather corse that I would kill to own (but finances at the moment say NO!) It’s here if you wanted to look, it’s real leather with animal print. Daaaamn.
There’s lots of cute (and sexy!) sleepwear that they offer too, and I am always on the mission to find the perfect sleepwear too! Nomnom :D
This post is sponsored.
In other news! I sorted out my two wardrobes, one now consists of dresses and outerwear, the other is tops and bottoms.
021
As you can see, Chloe approves of the change.

Thanks Devon.

Decorate a Room with a Curtain Corset

Exploring the corset – Day 11

Corsets with a twist for home decorating.

Two styles of decorative curtain tieback with a historic corset detail.
I stumbled upon these corset accents for curtains. These would be a great addition to a romantic room.  The trick is that it is a pattern so you can make them yourself.

paulagracedesigns.blogspotDSC01972-187x250
The designer, Liz Ware, created these patterns for use in her own custom drapery studio. She found that many other studios were also interested in offering unique items for their clients. For this reason she began producing patterns.

Fortunately for us, she also offers them to the public. As a pattern drafter and professional sewer myself, I was impressed with the details as well as the design. I love how the pattern above changes dramatically with the use of different fabrics. Same design, distinctly opposite atmosphere.
paulagrace2
One pattern includes both styles shown, short and long.

Here is the description of the pattern:
Corseted Tiebacks - Pattern 2002
Two fabulous tiebacks, reminiscent of
feminine corsets.  One view laces up
the front through grommets, the other
view features button and ribbon
closures at the center.  Perfect for the
dramatic dining room or luxurious
boudoir.  Package includes patterns
and complete instructions.
$32.00


If you are crafty,  creatively adventurous and a sewer you can purchase this wonderful pattern and make these for your own home. Check out her website.  http://www.detailspatterncompany.com/

Corsets by Dior

Exploring the Corset – Day 10

Christian Dior Paris Runway Show 2010.

Ultra feminine with old world French charm.  Gorgeous delicate lace over champagne colored silk. Although this was presented in 2010 it could be from years past.  I am taken by the romantic shape and elegant style.

The pure silk French dance pants ….what can I say? I want a pair.
ss10-christian-dior-2010
Adding the corset to a floating skirt Dior creates a young flirty gown.
ss10-christian-dior-39a
This tone on tone variation has the glamour of the 1950’s golden age.
A sophisticated look.

Is it my imagination or does this poor girl have a bandage on her knee?

Corsets in Hermes Spring 2011

Exploring the Corset – Day 9
Hermes Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011 lVJs9AI009_l

If you are an avid follower of fashion you have probably already seen the pictures from the spectacular Hermes Spring Runway Show at Paris Fashion Week.

If you are anything like me you will never tire of admiring the best of the best from Fashion Week. Enjoy these!

This fashion show incorporates so many things that I adore. The beautiful models dressed in Spanish influenced fashions, walked the runway as majestic horses performed as a backdrop.

Hermes Paris Fashion Week Spring Summer 2011 mS9CVp0e2vNlCorsets have made a huge comeback this season being shown by many designers.

Hermes head designer Jean Paul Gautier, one of my long time favorites, has presented corsets in a new light.  

He is showing exquisite leather corsets with minute details worn as an outer garment. You can just imagine how luscious they must feel to wear.

Hermes is out of most peoples budget but that should not stop you from recreating the look within your budget and modifying the look to suit your lifestyle.

I love the waist corset over the fine, sheer floating dress. The combination of extremes makes a perfect match.

I was able to meander through Hermes Paris just days before Fashion Week. It was all energized with excitement and the fashion elite in Paris.

The store itself is like a museum.

No where else can you admire handmade saddles one moment and   Kelly Bags the next.

If you have a moment check out the Hermes website. There is some fun stuff there. Click on the saddle photo to see the making of a saddle. Quite fascinating.
