Plus-size people, especially plus-size women, are no strangers to this punch in of thinking.
We hear again and again that bigger bodies are not sexy.
Historically, a plus-size woman doesnt get to be in fashion shows.
Shes not allowed to be anything more than the dumpy friend on TV.
Shes supposed to buy into the massively lucrative diet industry and whittle down to a sexier size.
Change has been slow and somewhat recent.
Lizzo wears bodysuits and bikinis on stage and tells the world thatshe doesnt care if you call her fat.
Designers like Betsey Johnson have collaborated with brands built specifically for plus-size women.
And we have mainstream lingerie brandscreatedwith bigger bodies in mind.
These brands arent just selling everydaybrasand underwear.
And because sizing in the US isnt standardized, weve also included measurements in inches when possible.
Go ahead, you deserve a treat.

Youll find a surprising amount of affordable options.
Most of the selections are modest, like sheer chemises or teddies, or stretchy lace bodysuits.

There are basic, sleek shapewear options from Skims and more romantic picks from Seven Til Midnight.
Most of the items are, again, on the modest size.
But that doesnt mean these styles wont make some people feel sexy and confident.
