Shopping Tips for Open Cup Items

You've probably noticed even when shopping for ordinary lingerie that your standard size doesn't always fit from brand to brand. Chrystal Bougon, owner of Curvy Girl Lingerie, offers the following tips for open cup styles:

  • Be open-minded about size when it comes to bras. Since the garment isn't intended to be functional and it's only on for a short time, she suggests that if you can't find what you want in your band size, buy it in your cup size and then use a bra extender to make it fit.
  • Look for plus size lingerie made from microfiber, which stretches, rather than silk, which doesn't give and can pull and look awkward. Of microfiber Bougon says, "It feels great on. It's super simple to care for and wash. It has a smoothing effect and it also feels great to the person you're cuddling with. Microfiber is very versatile and personally, when I wear it, I feel very 'put together.' Almost like how you feel when you wear a pair of pantyhose or good tights under your dress. The microfiber can give you that same really good feeling and give you a boost of confidence."
  • Bougon also notes, "When my plus size customers have a D cup or larger, the demi cup or open cups do not work. The weight of the breasts pretty much makes the half-cup bras sort of like a really pretty decoration underneath the breasts [without] pushing them up at all." Open cup lingerie, like teddies or babydolls, has more material than just the typical inch or so of fabric under the breast that open cup bras offer, so these items may be a better option for you than open cup bras if you are larger than a D cup.

A Special Evening

Surprise your special someone by adding open cup lingerie to your nighttime wardrobe. Whether you plan a romantic evening complete with a candlelight dinner or a racy night of fun and games, you will feel super sexy in your beautiful lingerie.
