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.
