Instagram/nicoladallasen Like me, you ride that very thin line between the two, and if there’s one item more difficult to find than any, it’s lingerie. Lacy everyday bras are everywhere, sure — but I’m talking specifically about that edgy, strappy, see-through nonsense we admittedly LOVE to wear (bae or no bae) when we’re feeling sexy. Luckily, there are a handful of brands that DO make that lingerie for curvy ladies. Let me introduce you; You’ll never feel doomed to wearing that lace bralette exclusively ever again. If you like offbeat stuff with a little bit of vintage flair, like the Gabi Fresh On The Rocks Strappy Suspender Belt ($33, Playful Promises), look no further than Playful Promises. Faye Lilac Peek Cup Bra Curve ($33, Playful Promises) Irena Rust Saint & Lace High Waist Brief ($20, Playful Promises) You do need an account to shop through AdoreMe’s selection, but it’s free and takes three seconds to gain access to TONS of items like the Curvina Contour Plus Set ($60, AdoreMe). Noemi Plus ($50, AdoreMe) Maritza Contour Plus Set ($60, AdoreMe) If you want nothing more than to be comfy in that lingerie, Lonely’s your shop. Its items like the Lulu Strap Bra in Indigo ($43, Lonely) are all about thick hems, high waists, and soft cups. Aaaahhhh. Patsy High Wait Brief in Pebble ($55, Lonely) Kiki Bodysuit ($81, Lonely) Lane Bryant might already be a staple of yours if you’re plus-size, but let me tell you, they did NOT come to play with this year’s Valentine’s Day intimates collection. Just look at the Eyelash Lace Side-Tie No-Wire Halter Bodysuit ($55, Lane Bryant) and TELL ME you don’t want it. Deco Lace Strappy Balconette Bra ($49, Lane Bryant) Cross-Dyed Lace Garter Hip Slip ($41, Lane Byant) I know what you’re thinking: Yandy? Really? The store with all the questionable Halloween costumes? And no, I’m not kidding. It’s got a major lineup of super sexy stuff like the Plus Size Katie High Waisted Bra Set ($40, Yandy) that’s not gut-bustingly expensive, either. Plus Size Green Desires Bustier Set ($32, Yandy) Plus Size Dreamy Lounge Romper ($35, Yandy) Thanks to Ashley Graham, there’s no way you aren’t already aware of this brand. But I’m just going to leave the Ashely Graham Fishnet & Scalloped Lace Babydoll ($85, Additionelle) and a few other here anyway because they’re just that damn good. Ashely Graham Phenomenon Bra with Lace & Mesh ($65, Additionelle) Ashely Graham Dica Lace Demi Cup Bra With Front Strap ($70, Additionelle) Hips & Curves, with items like the Olivia Strappy Lace Bra ($43, Lace & Curves), is ideal for those of you looking for a little more ~romance~ this year. It’s got an astounding new collection for curvy queens in alluring burgudys, blacks, and deep purples. Aria Satin Corset ($45, Hips & Curves) Gia Lace Button Up Bralette ($20, Hips & Curves) Eloquii is another closet staple for size 14-16 ladies, but did you KNOW that it just dropped its own lingerie line? And boy, it is FIRE — take the Balconette Bodysuit ($70, Eloquii) for example. Eyelash Lace Robe ($60, Eloquii) Deep V-Neck Bodysuit ($60, Eloquii) Oh, good old Torrid — it never lets us down. It’s lingerie items, including the Lace Mesh & Underwire Bralette ($36, Torrid), range from sporty to downright goth. Floral Applique Mesh Strappy Bralette ($37, Torrid) Lace Up Grommet Mesh Bralette ($37, Torrid)
