Shopping Lingerie For Plus Size Women With Hips?

HipsandCurves Plus Size Lingerie



Looking for a fashionable lingerie source for women with hips? Hips and Curves definitely have this covered for the plus woman. Not only can you get bras up to a voluptuous size 52 H, but you can also find panties in sizes 6X and styled exclusively for fuller figures.

Hips and Curves' specialty is their plus-size women selection. They offer simple basics for the younger women as well as more mature styles like high-waist briefs and full-coverage bras. In addition, there are fantasy selections, bridal-wear pieces, halloween and lounge-wear items available. There is also a romantic department for anniversaries, valentine's day or any occasion you want presented tastefully, and on real plus-size models who we can relate to.

Hips and Curves offers good quality for the price, and you can select from a variety of different brands. One brand that I thought offered exceptional quality for cost was Le Mystere, which offers pieces in smooth microfiber with the appearance of quality laser-cut items that you can pick up from other shops like Bare Necessities or Fig Leaves. Microfiber doesn't age as fast as cotton or other synthetics, and this is important for any budget-minded shopper: remains smooth after laundering, no wrinkling, no tearing, and no separated elastic.

Hips and Curves is true-to-size, meaning that you shouldn't have to size up or down like you do on some other plus sites. Any recommended sizing changes are noted on the website, such as corset sizing with a snug bust fit (recommended sizing adjustment: 1 up). Some specialty panties of interest, such as the trend-forward “Rows of Ruffles” is available in the one-size-fits-all of plus sizes: the queen. From my personal experience with queen sizes, you can be sure of a comfortable fit between size 1-3X. Bra sizing is standard, although I personally recommend checking the website sizing chart

Hips and Curves take customer service serious, all questions are answered directly from them. Inquiries are answered promptly.

Number One Tip To Buying Plus Size Fashions Online

When purchasing plus size fashions online, the only way to ensure perfect fit when you can't try it on is to know your measurements.

So get yourself a tape measure (preferably a cloth one) and a friend to take your measurements:

Stand in front of a full length mirror. Take measurements undressed or in lightweight clothes. Pull the tape measure snug, but not too tight. Keep your arms at your side and have a friend take the measurements, for the most accurate results. Stand up straight, nice and tall.

Measure Bust:
Measure around the shoulder blades, under the armpits and over the fullest part of the bust.

Measure Waist:
Find your natural waistline and measure.

Finally, measure Hip:
Measure the fullest part of the hip (usually about 7-9 inches below the waist.

After you have taken your measurements, keep them in a safe place and refer to them when shopping online with the sizing chart provided by the merchant on their site.

This one tip will cut down on the number of disappointments when your garments arrive. Sign up for the Hips & Curves Newsletter!
