Why Plus-Size Lingerie Deserves Its Spotlight

For too long, plus-size lingerie has been boxed in by tired stereotypes – “boring,” “unflattering,” “basic,” or “only practical.” 

But the truth is, the lingerie world has evolved, and inclusive designs are proving that style and support belong to every body. It’s time to challenge these misconceptions and see plus-size lingerie for what it really is: versatile, stylish, feminine, and made to empower.

Let’s takedown a few of the biggest plus-size lingerie myths once and for all:

1. Myth: Plus-size lingerie is limited and drab.
   Reality: Say goodbye to the era of two-or three-style plus-size lingerie. Modern lingerie collections feature everything from delicate lacey details to bold strappy sets, offering the same variety and allure as any other size range. 
2. Myth: You have to sacrifice style for support.
   Reality: A well-fitting lingerie piece can do both – support your body while enhancing your curves in ways that make you feel confident and sexy.
3. Myth: Lingerie brands don’t design with real bodies in mind.
   Reality: At Mentionables, we create plus-size lingerie with inclusive sizing and thoughtful details that celebrate shape, not hide it. And if a piece doesn’t meet your expectations, we listen and follow through to ensure you’re fully satisfied 100% of the time
   

Breaking these myths is just the beginning – next comes the real secret to feeling amazing in plus-size lingerie: finding the right fit.

Fit First: What to Look for When Choosing Plus-Size Lingerie

Fit is always important when choosing lingerie, but for plus-size lingerie especially, it’s everything. 

A well-fitting lingerie piece can transform how you feel, deepening your self-confidence, comfort, and sexiness all at once. Choosing lingerie that truly works for your body means knowing what to look for, so you can enjoy both style and support without compromise.

Here are some key factors to keep in mind when selecting plus-size lingerie that truly works for your body:

• Support and comfort matter: Look for wide bands, adjustable straps, and soft, breathable fabrics (like stretchy lace, mesh, and satin) that move with you rather than against you. Spoiler alert: you don’t have to choose between comfort and style. Need more tailored advice for your shape – apple, pear, or hourglass? Our ‘How to Feel Confident in Your Body’ blog post has you covered.
• Stretch vs. structure: Some lingerie pieces are designed to hug your body with stretch, while others offer structure to enhance your shape. Finding the right balance for your personal preference is key to feeling both secure and sexy. This gorgeous babydoll lingerie piece showcases the best of both – structured support and flexible stretch.
• Curves are celebrated, not squashed: Plus-size lingerie should enhance your shape, not hide it. Mentionables designs plus-size lingerie with real bodies in mind, ensuring that every piece accentuates your natural curves while providing the support you need.
  

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: When trying a new lingerie style, focus on how it feels when you move. A great lingerie fit should feel like it’s made for you – supportive, flattering, and cozy enough to forget you’re even wearing it.

Our Favorite Lingerie Styles for Curves

But plus-size lingerie isn’t just about fit – it’s also about feeling good and sexy in every piece you wear. 

Picking lingerie styles that feel comfortable lets you celebrate your curves, highlight your favorite features, embrace your body with pride, and feel irresistible in your own skin. 

Here are some standout plus-size lingerie picks we (and our customers) love for their flattering fits and empowering style:

• Polka Dot Mesh Babydoll: This lightweight, flowing babydoll is perfect for plus-size bodies because the empire waistline sits just under the bust, creating an hourglass shape while skimming over the midsection. Not to mention, the deep V neckline puts your “girls” center stage. The soft mesh gently drapes over curves without clinging, making it both complementary and comfy. Can we get an amen!
• Lacy Plunge Satin Scalloped Romper: The deep plunge neckline draws attention upward, elongating the torso and enhancing the bust. Soft satin with gentle stretch accommodates fuller hips and thighs, while scalloped lace adds texture and visual interest, making this romper both elegant and body-friendly.
• Strappy High-Waist Crotchless Panty: The high-waist lingerie design smooths the tummy and accentuates the natural waistline, offering a flattering silhouette for plus-size figures. Adjustable straps ensure a customizable fit, while the playful crotchless feature adds confidence-boosting boldness without compromising comfort.
• The Bold Satin Bralette: Designed with flexible support and wider bands under the bust and across the back, this bralette adapts to fuller chests while providing comfort. It enhances the natural shape without creating spillage or discomfort, making it ideal for plus-size wearers who want a mix of style and practicality. Plus, the color is to die for!
• The Eyelash Lace Teddy: Strategically placed straps throughout and a contoured design highlight curves without constriction. The fitted silhouette hugs the body in all the right places, celebrating the waist, bust, and hips, making it an empowering lingerie choice for plus-size figures.
  

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: When selecting your favorite plus-size lingerie pieces, look for details like ruching, high-waist cuts, or strategic straps – these features enhance your shape while keeping things comfy yet sultry.

Mix, Match, and Layer Like a Pro

With plus-size lingerie, the beauty is in how versatile it can be – whether you’re styling it for the bedroom, layering it under your favorite outfit, or mixing pieces to create a look that’s uniquely yours. 

Playing with textures, cuts, and moods lets you bring out your personality in every layer. 

Here’s how to do it:

• Pair for impact and comfort: Match a bold bralette with a flowy robe, or a high-waist panty with a soft cami. These combinations balance support with style, so you feel both sexy and comfortable.
• Layer under your everyday clothes: A lace bodysuit under a blazer or a dainty bralette strap peeking from beneath a sweater can give you that private boost of confidence all day long.
• Style for your mood: Feeling cozy? Go for a romper that’s as lounge-worthy as it is sultry. Want full glam? Go with strappy sets and luxe lace details that instantly turn up the drama.
  

MENTIONABLES PROTIP: Don’t be afraid to experiment – your lingerie drawer isn’t just about basics. Mixing textures like lace, satin, and mesh can transform your plus-size lingerie into looks that feel fresh every time.

Real Talk: Confidence Is Your Best Accessory

Lingerie isn’t just about how it looks – it’s about how it makes you feel. 

With plus-size lingerie, the most important detail is you: your figure, your vibe, and your inner strength. Don’t be afraid to try new cuts, colors, or textures – this is your chance to play, experiment, and celebrate your body on your terms.

• Experiment with styles: Bold straps, soft lace, playful cutouts – trying something new can instantly elevate how you feel. Plus-size lingerie is designed to celebrate your shape, so there’s no wrong choice.
• Hear it from our customers: “This bralette is a must purchase! I’m typically a size 44C/D and ordered the 2x, it fits well and is even a little roomy as the lace and satin have some give to them. Highly recommend!” – Megan M. “Stunning and amazing. I love this bra so much, it's both comfortable and sexy. I'm a 36 D and I bought an XL.” – Emily N. “So sexy and comfy at the same time. I hate when lingerie makes me feel uncomfortable, and it’s scratchy. This is so soft and stretchy. Follow the size chart for sizing! I’m a US 12-14 and a 38C, and I got an XL and it fits perfectly.” – Rachel.
• Own your beauty: Remember, it’s not about perfection. It’s about embracing your curves, showcasing your favorite features, and feeling fierce. Confidence is what truly makes every piece shine.
