Curvy Kate Lola Babydoll 32K and Thong 20

For many years, women above a G cup have had very few lingerie choices.  We've had to count ourselves lucky that lingerie brands finally clocked on to the fact that we'd like bras in colours other than just black, white and nude, and some savvy companies even gave us choices in bra style.  Yes, we're so fortunate to not just have to stick to full cup bras, but many of us can now also choose from plunges, half cups, balconettes and even multiway and strapless bras.  Lucky us!

Forgive my flippancy...but sometimes it feels like those of us with larger boobs have to be grateful for these things and not ask for more.  Don't get me wrong; I am incredibly grateful to brands such as Ewa Michalak and Bravissimo for really pushing the boundaries with bra styles in larger cups.  But what has been missing for so long are options beyond this.  We want longlines, we want bustieres, we want basques, we want bra-sized nightwear and we want babydolls.

That last 'want' in my list is one that has been addressed by several brands in the past year or so.  Plus size lingerie brand Elomi brought out the Betty babydoll, but the largest cup available was an H.  Fortunately, this has been followed in recent months by other brands bringing out their own babydolls and large cup lingerie trailblazer Curvy Kate has done just that.

Elomi Betty Black Babydoll 34H

I have always wanted to own a babydoll lingerie dress.  Why?  Well...for obvious reasons I guess but as I'm currently single it's simply something I'd like to have in my lingerie drawer just in case the need ever arises!

Babydolls in larger cups are a relatively new option for those of us with big boobs so I was absolutely thrilled when I discovered that plus-size lingerie brand Elomi was bringing out their gorgeous Betty bra in a babydoll option.

Elomi arrives at Debenhams

Fantastic news, lingerie fans!  

Plus-sized lingerie brand Elomi have joined forces with high street giants Debenhams in order for their ranges to be sold in selected stores as well as online.  This decision was taken following customer research which revealed that the majority of plus-sized women do all their clothes/lingerie shopping online.  On top of this, many believed that fashionable lingerie sets are not available in larger sizes.  (Interestingly, just today I was having a conversation with a friend on Twitter about Elomi and said friend wasn't aware that they had such a wide range of sizes available!)

Eveden AW2012 Press Launch

I was recently fortunate enough to be invited to the Eveden Autumn/Winter 2012 press launch in London.  For those of you who don't know, Eveden is the group who owns several large lingerie brands including Freya, Fantasie, Fauve, Huit, Elomi and Goddess.  Naturally, I was absolutely thrilled to be invited and took the opportunity to meet up with some of my gorgeous blogging buddies along the way, including Georgina, Mhairi, Rosie, Kitty and Sophia.

A little while ago I was fortunate enough to attend the Plus London 2 bloggers' meet.  I had a super time and really enjoyed meeting fellow bloggers as well as having the chance to speak to the retailers who were there.


I was particularly excited to meet the ladies from Elomi Lingerie as this was a brand I had heard a lot about but never tried before.  I knew that they aimed their ranges at women with fuller figures but I was concerned that everything available would be too full-coverage and mumsy for me.  I was also not convinced that their bras would be able to give me sufficient comfort and support, as well as making me look and feel great.  How wrong I was!
