Sexy Lingerie Still Tops the Christmas List For Her

Sexy Lingerie Still Tops the Christmas List For Her

It's no secret when it comes to Christmas gifts for her that sexy lingerie is still one of the top most popular presents when buying for a loved one. You would think that if it was that popular then it would be easy for our other halves to get it right!

Sexy Lingerie is still a favourite at Christmas

In my past experience it's been mildly beneficial to drop a few subtle hints, for example, when you're dragging him round the shops around Christmas time, dropping the odd comment like; "that's nice" or "I like that" before moving on with the bustling crowds. That in itself often isn't enough as you're still not guaranteed the right size when he eventually goes on his Christmas shopping trip!

Get the Right Size for Your Lingerie Gift.

Take a gamble with this 'Red Lace Chemise'

When it comes to buying the right size for a lingerie gift, a fella needs to go prepared with the right bra size, dress size or waist size. I've always found it a safe bet to just let him know beforehand, it saves you having to go back to the shop and exchanging your sexy nightwear or even worse they don't have your size in stock at the moment!

Sexy Nighties & Nightdresses are a Safe Lingerie Gift Option

Sleep sound in this 'Mirabelle Satin Chemise & Nightgown'

A nice satin chemise, either on it's own, or combined with a matching nightgown is a generally a popular choice, there easy to size up and if you've been together for a while, then your fella should have a pretty good idea of your tastes and style by now! It's also the sort of sexy lingerie gift that you're fairly safe opening in front of the family, other than a lace sexy thong or g-string that may cause a bit of embarrassment on Christmas morning.

Satin Chemises & Lace Babydolls for the Bedroom

Look stunning in this 'Boudoir Satin Chemise'

A satin chemise or lace babydoll is another very good choice when buying sexy underwear gifts for her at Christmas. Easy to size, unless they have underwired cups that probably need a bra size to help in getting the right one. There's a great range in this area to choose from and babydolls are great for plus size figures, they tend to enhance the bust and cleavage yet subtly drawing attention away from the tummy, waist and hips, for those of us who aren't comfortable showing them off!

Show off your curves in Plus size style

Sexy Thongs & Briefs

Great stocking fillers, easy to size up and quite easy to find the right size if he does a bit of snooping. After all if he gets this size wrong he's in for a rocky time on Christmas Day! It's generally wise to stick to the style you normally wear, rather than go off the beaten track and opt for a low rise g-string if you normally wear thongs or even a brief from day to day.

Bridal Lingerie for the Plus Size Bride

Bridal Lingerie for the Plus Size Bride

For far too long there's been a limited choice of nice looking plus size wedding lingerie for cup sizes say above a DD or a waist size much above a 16. At the point of starting Moonrise Lingerie it was always an important of my business plan to provide a good choice of quality and sexy lingerie available for bigger busted brides. Being an F or a G cup depending on bra style, this was one of the main reasons of Moonrise Lingerie coming to fruition. Since starting the business I'm pleased to say we offer a good selection of beautiful plus size wedding underwear designed for the bride in mind to give support and comfort throughout the wedding day. Many of the styles include low backs, deep decollettes, seamless and strapless designs to suit many styles of wedding gown.

I've chosen a few personal favourites for this post, I hope you enjoy them, and for those brides to be out there, maybe it'll give you some more of an idea of what's available on the market....

Satin Bow Bustier



Plus Size Wedding Lingerie - Satin Bow Bustier

If you’re not feeling the need for the full body support and waist cinching effects you get from a traditional wedding corset, then a bustier is a nice compromise. The satin bow bustier is both beautiful and exquisite in every way. The lightly padded under wiring gives medium support to emphasise and wonderfully define your figure whilst the lace overlay and ruffled lace hemline makes for a stylish looking outfit. The satin bow is a great all rounder as its perfect for both the wedding day and also that special first wedding night. Available up to UK24 sizes and complete the look with a matching thong, bridal stocking or hold ups and you’ll create a jaw dropping reaction that won’t be forgotten.

Miette Corset

Larger Cup Sized - The Milette Wedding Corset

Traditionally a corset was used to train the hips and waist areas of ladies in order to reduce the size of the waist by up to 2 inches and by wearing the modern day corset you can obtain a more hourglass shaped effect to your outline. This Miette wedding corset has some absolutely stunning embroidery detail finished off with a ribbon bow and tiny diamante brooch on the centre panel of the bust and one the strap. It comes in a subtle cream colour and sizes now go up to a 38C to accommodate larger cup sizes.

Juliette Corset

Beautiful Juliette Lace Corset

This Juliet Lace corset although less of the traditional styling it does have some exquisite lace detailing. It gives a nice medium level of support with its underwiring and light boning. Wonderfully romantic with its delicately laced edged finishing and light lace up ribbon tie featuring on both the corset and the matching thong. Available in the more traditional bridal white and with detatchable suspender straps it’s a fantastic choice for brides looking to enjoy a spring/ summer wedding.

Madonna Bridal Bra Set

Madonna 3 piece Bridal Bra Set

This Madonna Bridal Bra set is a gorgeous little set with a beautiful balconette bra, perfect to provide uplift to the bust, and we are pleased to say also goes up to a 38C cup size. The cups are decorated with delicate lace embroidery and beautifully adorned with Swarovski crystals to add that special sparkle for the day. Shown with straps, they are detachable giving you a fabulous strapless bra, so if you're a bride with an eye for detail and want your bridal underwear with a hint of elegance about it, then maybe the Madonna Set is the one for you?

The Glow Bra Lingerie Set

The Glow Balcony Bra Set

This Glow bra is well suited for the Mermaid or Column style bridal gown, a very elegant dress type that would need a smooth style and shaped bra. Glow is a fabulous balcony bra, beautifully decorated with Swarovski crystals. The ¾ profiled cups provide perfect uplift and help support the weight of the breast, better allowing the dress to stay in a comfortable position throughout the day, giving comfort and confidence. Available in ivory, it is a very stylish option with detachable straps and removable push up pads for more flexibility. Now with cup sizes up into DD, E and F and backsizes up to 38 it's becoming more popular with today's modern brides. Combined with the matching thong and a pair of ivory bridal lace top hold ups, it would finish off your wedding underwear with a look of chic sophistication!

Hopefully this has given some good ideas for any plus size brides out there who are finding it a bit of a struggle to find some nice bridal underwear for their big day. We'd love to hear any of your thoughts or opinions, just leave us a comment. x
