The 25 best plus-size lingerie shops for inclusive and empowering fits

Being a plus-size woman means finding supportive lingerie is imperative, but this doesn’t mean it’s easy. Having bigger boobs, wider hips and a more shapely silhouette can make it difficult when it comes to finding lingerie that fits well and accentuates your figure.

The lingerie market has evolved in recent years, massively improving and expanding with new and exciting innovations, brands and products. Most brands have adapted to suit all body types, with many now offering a DD+ range to suit a fuller bust and figure. This means finding suitable lingerie for a plus-size frame is easier than it’s ever been.

We spoke to professional bra fitter Lucy-Jayne Copley who has worked for Brastop (retailer and experts in D–K cups) for years. She’s a real believer in lingerie affecting your mood: “Wearing something that looks amazing can really put a pep in your step, even if it’s only you who knows you’re wearing it.”

“The fit of your lingerie really matters too, there’s a common misconception that bras are meant to be uncomfortable to serve their purpose but it really doesn’t have to be that way. Get yourself fitted by a reputable lingerie retailer who knows their stuff and revel in the glory of the perfect fit, and remember that you might well need different sizes in different brands and cuts of bra so don’t get hung up on the numbers and letters on the label!”

Finding lingerie for a fuller figure needn’t be difficult in 2024 and we’ve made it even easier for you. We have tried, tested and compiled 25 of the best lingerie brands that cater for a fuller bust and more shapely figure – there really is something for every BODY.
