Plus Size Cinching Enhancing Corset
From LoveToKnow Plussize
As women have known for centuries, a plus size cinching enhancing corset is just the thing to give support and improve the look of the figure, whether clothed or not. It’s sexy, but also practical and comfortable, if you shop and choose carefully, and wear it right.
Basic Plus Size Cinching Enhancing Corset
Many modern clothes can make a curvy girl look dowdy or, worse, bigger and more shapeless. Fortunately, with stylish women like Queen Latifah and Jennifer Hudson to look to, bigger girls are seeing that they can dress well all the time and show off their best features. Like women in times past, that often requires attention to underwear. Specifically, foundation garments.
A plus size cinching enhancing corset does exactly what the name suggests – it cinches in the waist and pushes up, thus enhancing, the breasts. The boning flattens your stomach, giving a more perfect curve to your hips. It’s no wonder that this is the go-to piece of lingerie for women of any size when they are choosing what to wear under their wedding dress – or for any dressy occasion.
A really good corset will do more than just make you look good. It will improve your posture. Have you ever noticed how a thin woman looks shapeless if she’s hunched over? Poor posture shortens your neck and your torso, interferes with good breathing and can compromise your health. A corset encourages you to keep your back straight and your shoulders back. A longer look is a sleeker look. Add the cinching and enhancing and even your closest friends will have to look at you twice.
Shopping for Corsets
The best way to select the plus size cinching enhancing corset that is perfect for you is to try it on in person. At a quality lingerie shop, a sales assistant will be able to assess your figure and needs and fit you, as well as teach you how best to wear your corset. You can get a good sense of the comfort and how the corset moves on you, as well as how you move in it. And at really good shops, if you find a perfect corset but it maybe needs an adjustment or embellishment, they will provide that service for you, usually free of charge.
Since not everyone has access to better lingerie shops, it’s best to look for corsets at online purveyors who specialize in plus size lingerie. One of the most popular and well-regarded is Hips and Curves. They carry a range of corsets that are beautiful, sexy and even practical. Whether for a wedding, a seduction or just to look and feel great under your clothes, they will have something that works for you.
At first glance, the selection at Sheer and Sultry is mostly naughty, but each item notes attributes under the thumbnail picture. So the Revealing Zipper Satin Corset features slimming boning; the Butterfly Goddess Tapestry corset has supportive boning and the Starlet Glamour Strapless Corset is waist slimming.
Custom Corsets
If you have something particular in mind and can’t find it, you might consider having a corset made. This can be a more expensive option, but it tends to work out in your favor over the long run, because you end up with an item that fits you exactly and shapes you better than something ready-made. Again, you do best to work with a professional designer or seamstress and have the corset fitted a few times during the construction, but if you can’t do this, there are some good online designers.
Try Meschantes, which makes waist cinching corsets for all figures at reasonable prices. You can choose your fabric and accessories and they will work with you to shape the corset of your dreams.
