Default Advice for a generously proportioned newbie!

Really want to start learning and performing but where oh where can I get size 20+ lingerie/hoisery etc?

My measurements are - 40DD, 41, 51 - I'm built for comfort not for speed!

Thanks in advance

Ed

Hi Ed,
I'm a size 18/20 (38F to 40F) and I have got lots of lingerie from Curvaceous Beauties' website ( Plus Size Lingerie UK Store | Lingerie Nightwear - Curvaceous Beauties )
Definite thumbs up on their frilly knicks. Their sale section is good and they deliver pretty quickly.
M&S have often got cheeky bra and knicker sets that are too good to say no to and their size range is good.
Ebay is always worth a look. I got some fab satin french knickers for £5 and a few sets of nipple tassels.
Also....in case you missed the posts....New Look have got some frilly knicks at the moment. Size 18 fits me - room to spare.

Happy Shopping xx

ooo oooh....almost forgot one!
Simply Yours - the finest range of underwear, lingerie, corsets, basques, shapewear and hosiery - Simply Yours - Simply Yours
Also try their sister website Simply Be - a fashion catalogue that offers a wide range of fashion for all occasions in sizes 14 - 32 - Simply Be
Got a simple corset from them in their sale for under £20.

I suggest browsing both coz sometimes one of them has the item you like on sale.

kisses x

Aside for the marvellous suggestions above...

Ebay too, mostly. Just bought another pair of gloves this morning, in fact.

Asda has been doing some pretty lingerie recently, always worth a nose as you're going past. Their range goes to some most respectable sizes.

The Online Hosiery Store - Stockings Direct - for plus-size seamed tights and stockings, or the tights stall on Brum bullring market.

silly as this may sound.....primark are currently doing really cute polka dot sets in large sizes.....im a 40E and an 18/20 and the sizings fairly good...(*up to an f i think...)

They also do seamed stockings and tights really cheap....which if your anything like me means they are essentially disposable.....

the curvaceous beauties site is really good. They have a full plus size section....including gorgeous suspender belts and the like. the frilly knickers are a little itchy but look pretty good.

If i find any good bits i tend to post the info.

Welcome to MoB xxx
