I am having difficulty finding decent plus size lingerie (corsets, basques) that would fit me, I am 5 ft 5 and a 24/26 top, 20/22 bottom and a 36M bust (can wear a 40K). Most of the sites that have plus size seem to be more for girls that are large but no bigger than a G-H cup in the bust. Does anyone know of any sites that would be suitable.

I do not know if the other BBW's feel the same way but it is seriously narking me that the plus size lingerie that is out there for us tends to look tacky and i am sorry but I am not the type of lady that likes her jelly belly on display, hence why i wear basques and waspies. 

The only place i can find semi decent hold ups is Ann Summers, that is if the elastic does not go after it comes out of the packet or you find a thread dangling and the next thing the whole lace top unravels.  And the lingerie is disgusting, i usually find it starts coming apart after a few wears, where are the good old days of ann summers where outfits actually lasted, I have a few of their old dresses that are still in fabulous condition but the newer things do not even last a few months. 

Then when you order of Ebay it is even worse and ordering stuff off Amazon is always touch and go.

Any suggestions?

A trip to America.
I'm glad I got all the Cynthia Payne books before the prices rocked to sky high.

Oh tell me about it, in my previous life, I had a work trip to NY once every two months and on my day off I would go shopping. Ordering from the States is no good either I have tried it.

Ok.. Levante soft lustre 30 denier holdups in largest size from stockingsdirect are my lifeline! Not cheap but they really do last and stay up! Only thing is they seem to sell out too quick and are out of stock quite often.. So when they get them in i bulk buy. Totally agree there is a huge gap in the market for sexy sensual plus size lingerie!  Its all designed to show off the perfect figure, rather than enhance and flatter an imperfect one!  I would pay loads for well made non tacky lingerie!

I'm the same, I find it really hard to find decent lingerie.

I would love to be able to wear some nice babydolls or corsets, but they always seem to say they are for like a DD bust, (I'm a size 24 and definitely not a DD or ;D), so I'm not going to spend money buying something that won't fit in the one place I need it to fit.

If you're not near London this may be silly but
Rigby and Peller have 3 branches and custom
make for every size.
Not cheap I imagine.

Vollers corsets are proper good and last several
lifetimes and do custom and I have a couple of those.
The can also adapt their existing designs for huge boooobies.

I get measured at John Lewis and they very
accurate and suggest suitable fits.

For decent lingerie on a budget go to debenhams they have a plus size range but not all frills and bells but decent enough for work.  Corsets i get from Corset Boulevard, never felt the need to have one custom made.

I just want sexier nicer things that you see advertised but they never make things for bigger women.

For wrap around dresses look at boo hoo there sizes are generous and they are cheap plus it's dead easy to send back stuff for free nothing is rarely more than ?20

If your a 14 look for the dress call Slinky Karen just put it in the search box  it's ?15 and it's brilliant for working dead easy to slip off  I must have around 10 of them in black ( just in case ) and also a few  in red, grey ,mocha , coffee, plum and indigo 

I'd love to design the perfect LBD that you click your fingers and it falls off. - none of this over the head crap or zips at the back / front

If I find a dress I like I bulk buy it in as many colours as I can and I buy a few a size bigger for those fat months  ;D

lol,  I like simple plain black dresses, but it's so bloody hard to get a plain black dress that's sexy but easy to get off / on
Most LBD have something on it that ruins them I saw a perfect one in Harvey Nicks a few weeks ago wasn't cheap either but it was gorgeous and perfect style for work  but it had a massive flower on it FFS

So now if I see a dress that I like for work I bulk buy it 😜 bit like bulk buying condoms
I love boo hoo & pretty little things and missguided

If you have a bit of a belly the best suspender belts are those deep lace ones that are wide 

The ones with the built in knickers are perfect you can just cut out the knickers and it's a brilliant suspender built  They last forever and the straps are detachable so you can use them again & again

Even though my stomach is pretty flat ( most of the time  :D)  these are my preferred suspender belts the little scraps of silk ones just don't suit me 

Freemans clubook ( so 80s clubooks)  , do a really good selection of lingerie, baby dolls , also there home brand Lascana is pretty good as well for pretty bras / pants,   free return as well so if you don't like it send it back

Well not sure what size we're talking about but last week I got amazing stuff simply from Debenhams. Suspender belts and lingerie and all. I tried house of Fraser too but they had only stuff for flat chicks lol.

Also lovehoney for suspender belts. Though careful, I ordered one that was queen size and OMFG I could wrap myself and my flatmate in it!!!!!!!
