Lingerie for the Full-Busted Woman

A couple of my friends have big boobs -- lucky them is what I always thought, but they would tell me how hard it is to fit into certain tops and forget about finding sexy lingerie that fits right and still looks good.

I found a great line made just for ladies who are C to DD called Buxom Inc. Sorry, Sheyla Hershey with bra size 38KKK -- you'll have to look elsewhere. And guess what? They are having sale with up to 40 percent off just in time for Valentine's Day!

It turns out that industry standards for chemises and sleepwear are a B cup, but this line offers more room in the chest area for ladies who are of average sizes, but a bit bigger up top.

Buxom Inc. has sleep and loungewear in many styles including the slinky silk chemise and cute lace-trimmed camisole and lounge pants (seen above). Prices start around $34. Visit Buxom Inc. to see more styles and purchase.

Oh and if you are bigger than a DD, stay tuned. Buxom Inc. plans on adding more sizes to their line in the future.

Do you often have trouble fitting into lingerie?

I agree with the first comment, that's NOT big. Talk to me when you can find lingerie for women with H cup boobs.. For crying out loud, Victoria Secret offers up to at least a D if not a DD.

Oh, and just to mention, considering a C is the AVERAGE for bust size, a DD is only two sizes above that so really, again, DD is not all that big.

When you said Full-Busted, I thought you meant my large breasted friends, who are G-I cup. C and DD are sold at WAL-MART, meaning they're quite average.

Hey, I consider 44D "full or large breasted." Its hard on the back, and very difficult to find tops that that are flattering and not just "huge" all over to fit the circumfrence of the size. (spelling on circumphrence?)

I dont really think that what they are offering is very cute. I am a DD and let me tell you, I would rather get something sexier from Victorias Secret....

believe it or not the industry standard in sleepwear & chemises is a B cup! (including Victoria's Secret) That given, Buxom Inc. does allow for a much larger fit. P.S. check www.buxominc.com by end of Feb for the line's Spring collection - a lot of new, pretty pieces are going up (including lavender and baby blue silk chemises), being introduced in plus size as well to allow for fuller cup sizes beyond a DD!

Hi Ladies! This company doesn't sell bras, they only sell chemises and sleepwear and industry standards for chemises and sleepwear are a B cup, so this line offers more room in the chest area for ladies who are a bit bigger. The owner of Buxom also plans to include more sizes in the near future.
