SHEER PLUS SIZE PANTIES or PANTYHOSE? WHICH SHOULD I CHOOSE?

Fence Net Queen Size Pantyhose

The key to many an outfit's success is the lingerie that's between it and a lady's naked skin. That's what this article and the pictures will convey. I truly believe that there is reason other than appearance that there are so many skinny models on the runways and in fashion shows. Back in the day before undergarments could offer sheer, sexy fabrics with plenty of support somebody got the bright idea that skin and bones didn't need support. The lack of flesh to smooth would allow designers to display their skimpy lingerie without worrying about the inability to control the occasional jiggle. Where they dropped the ball was that they neglected to consider that women probably wouldn't care that their panties were sheer and sexy if they were not trying to get their man's attention and MEN LIKE WOMEN WITH BOSOMS AND HIPS!

Our plus size apparel wardrobe tip of the day is to choose your bra and panties and then take a look in the mirror. Sheer and sexy is fine so long as the proper fit is in place. Elastic that cuts into the hips or a thong that constantly needs to be adjusted is not an option. Take a look at yourself from behind, your bra should fit smoothly across the back and shoulders without cutting into your skin. This is uncomfortable as well as unattractive. Underwear that doesn't fit will ruin an expensive designer outfit while properly fitting undergarments will make a cheap outfit seem expensive.

You know your man better than anyone else and if sheer panties or thongs are his thing, by all means fuel his desires. However, you might want to experiment with some of the sheer, sexy patterned tights and pantyhose. You can't beat them for a smooth line under pants or skirts and the sight (or thought) of black fishnet makes many mouths water in sheer lustful anticipation!

FESTIVE TOPS for the PLUS SIZE WOMAN - CLOTHING that WRAPS YOU IN SILVER

Enhance your “yum” appeal with a sumptuous sparkling silver halter top. Resplendent in silver metallic fabrics and embellished with sequins, studs and chains you will find this style of sexy plus size babydoll blouse will have a permanent place in your cocktail clothing stash as well as the part of your closet where the casual, funky articles of clothing is organized.

The beauty of this genre of blouse is that you can pair them with flowing palazzo cocktail pants with figure flattering wide legs and a pair of enticing pumps or sandals in order to make a goddess like entrance into the holiday party of your choice. Empire waist tops with wide jeweled collars, pleated fabrics and interesting designs that expose your back to its best advantage are worth their weight in silver or gold!

The next night you can wear this top to go downtown clubbing with a pair of ankle boots and a pair of your favorite tight fitting, low rider jeans sparkling all the way. Silver and gold fabric wear as well in the light of day as they do for evening wear so long as they aren’t too sparkly, so if you want to get the most wear out of your metallic tops, skip the shirts covered in sequins and rhinestones or that use shiny chains as spaghetti straps. Add bling for after dark in the way of crystals at the neckline and shoulder length chandelier earrings. For daytime, layer a scrumptious black plus size shrug to cover any bare skin and replace the stilettos with a pair of cute ballerina flats.

Here’s a plus size wardrobe tip for the girl who needs to get lots of bang for the buck out of her clothes. The rules for having a killer wardrobe at discount prices are to mix and match whenever possible. Once your basic building blocks are in place, you can go wild with a few trendy pieces. And it goes without saying that dressing for success includes covering your bare skin with pretty, sheer lingerie as well as lovely clothes made specially for the plus size woman.

PLUS SIZE GOLD and SILVER PROM or COCKTAIL DRESS

Get some love for those luscious hips with a lovely figure shaping, gold and silver party dress. Find a flowing dress that will visually shape your body while accentuating your many full figured womanly charms. Spaghetti straps and a deep scoop neck or v neck will define your bust and display your sexy figure to its best advantage especially when combined with an empire waist and flared bubble hem skirt.




FABRIC

The fabric can be gold lame’ or gold and silver metallic flame stitch fabric on the top as well as the bottom of the dress. The idea is to choose fabric that will sparkle like diamond crystals in the lights the evening of the prom or Christmas cocktail party. Many party dresses are made of sheer knit fabrics that will move with your every move ever so provocatively on the dance floor. Flowing fabrics are much better than heavy, clingy items so, shop accordingly.




LINGERIE

Panties

For a very smooth fit, under any form fitting special occasion dress or gown we recommend Spanx Power panties. Spanx provides lingerie that has a purpose. These under garments are sheer enough to be sexy and strong enough to provide excellent support for a smooth line under your clothes.




Bra


The key to displaying an impressive bosom is support! There is a fine line between “your cup runneth over” and “drinking it in with your eyes”. A substantial band with multiple hooks and eyes and a perfectly fitted cup will get the job done. If more support is needed or if the mature lady wants to lay plans for a provocative liaison for later in the evening a strapless bustier might be the ticket. Always wear a brassier in a similar color to your outfit or wear a flesh colored bra. It’s not a good idea to go for high contrast in undergarments in formal attire.

SHOES, STRAPPY SANDALS and SUCH

I prefer metallic shoes or sandals when wearing a metallic prom dress. Teens, tweens as well as adult girls can wear metallics without fear of coming off as cheap. In fact, I believe that in today’s fashion metallic shoes show more class than mixing black leather or patent leather with gold and silver. If you look at the pictures, don’t you think that gold strappy sandals would look cool compared to black leather pumps?

Of course there is the dancing problem. Don’t ever wear a pair of sandals or pumps that prevents you from having a good time on the dance floor! You are there to party, girl! Dance until your feet hurt and then strip them off to dance in your bare feet!

PLUS SIZE FORMAL DRESS with PIZZAZZ!

While this sheer, black ruffled pretty might be a tat too sophisticated for a teen's prom dress, it's purrrrfect for the cocktail party where you want to be seen as the sexy diva displaying her charms in a subtle yet inviting manner.

The deep scoop of the neckline is softened by the sheer ruffles that fall over enticing curves that will draw lots of admiring looks from the men and the skinny women who can only wish for such charming attributes!

To keep your alabaster shoulders from getting chill bumps, add a pretty silk shawl or evening wrap until the temp gets hot on its own.

I would recommend chandelier earrings with shining diamonds or crystals. Be careful in the choice of a necklace as you might break the visual line that is the strong point of this elegant evening dress.

FUNNY LAST MINUTE PLUS SIZE HALLOWEEN COSTUMES

To the right wing, hippies were not funny at all, but for the plus size woman who doesn't want to dress in a sexy uniform of some kind, a flower child costume right out of the Summer of Love might be the best bet for a a quick and easy last minute plus size Halloween costume.

All that you need to pull this costume from the days of free and easy sexuality would be:

• A solid color bandana to tie around your head then stencil a PEACE SIGN on the front section
• Bell bottom pants in a psychedelic print. If you show off your belly button, so much the better
• A ratty tie-dye T-shirt in funky wild colors
• A leather vest with lots of fringe
• Strand upon strand of love beads and necklaces with large metallic peace symbols
• Ankle boots or rope sandals

Those are the basics for a cheap, prize winning plus size Halloween costume. Some additional decorations or props might be some fake flowers in your hair and to pass out to the other tragically un hip guests at the party. If you have a bong pipe or old fashioned hookah that's not too heavy to carry around, that would be great for a laugh, too!

PLUS SIZE BRIDAL LINGERIE - WHITE SATIN CORSETS and SLIPS

The basics of plus size bridal lingerie are this; SEXY SHEER SUPPORT! The layers of a bride's under-garments that lie next to her skin under her fabulous bridal gown are as important as the fabulous designer gown that is viewed by the public. The intimate plus size items all work hand in hand to provide un-failing support and a sleek, seamless foundation for that fabulous white creation that will be seen by all. If the blushing bride will be wearing a corset or bustier under her dress, she may opt for a slip in the length of her gown that has an elasicized waist. Even a strapless plus size slip might diminish the desired effect of that slinky white satin bridal corset and that would be a shame! If there are multiple layers of fabric in the gown's skirt, a slip might not be necessary at all. On the other hand, if the gathered fabric of her bridal gown's skirt is so sheer that you can see through it, she could wear the slip through the ceremony and at the reception until dark and then slip out of it before it's time to raise her skirt and have the groom remove her garter if she likes. It's all about the bride knowing she looks her very best on her special day and the sheer white thigh high stockings, sexy thong and seductive corset will no doubt be enjoyed privately after the wedding ceremony.

SHEER,SEXY PLUS SIZE LINGERIE THAT DOESN'T HURT!

No matter how hot we sexy plus size babes might be, we might be a little shy to show too much skin right out of the gate so to speak. So what’s a voluptuous woman to do when she wants to make her man’s draw drop but keep a little mystery in the moment? The key to leaving some of the good stuff for later and making a fabulous entry in to the room (you know, the moment when your man’s lying in wait on the sofa or between the silk sheets and you know his eyes will be drinking you in?) with all your flags flying is sheer lace, sexy as can be! Sexy baby doll tops for women of size even come with fluffy fur trim that will caress him while he’s caressing YOU. What a grand concept once you grasp that your sexy babydoll pajama set takes care of some of the work to allow you to lay back and suck up all that physical embodiment of affection! Find a babydoll top in just the right length to display your most positive womanly charms.

No mystery there, you say? The trick is to purchase
plus size lingerie that’s been constructed with layers of soft, sumptuous lace that caress your curves and allow enough peeks at the prize to keep things interesting! Did you see the part where I mentioned SOFT lace? Don’t fall for that stiff, scratchy stuff no matter how fabulous your plus size booty looks peeking from under the hem of the matching panties or thong. Hard beads or decorations have no place on your sheer outfits. Your partner doesn’t want to feel like he’s groping through barbed wire to get to the full size sexy, soft skin underneath!

The only hard thing (well one of them) that you might want would be an underwire bra. A fancy sheer plus size babydoll top with a fancy, lace underwire bra underneath is a real visual treat for your partner. Think of it as another layer to peel and enjoy! A larger plus size g-string with additional straps might be a better option than a thong and if the string panty still isn’t to your liking, tap panties are an option.

SEXY PLUS SIZE PARTY WEAR - BLACK, RUCHED and RED HOT

Ruffle Shawl

So, now it's the end of the summer and your closet's full of cool plus size summer stuff. You might be wondering what clothes are you wearing into fall and what should you pack up until next spring. Here's a plus size fashion tip: If you have the equivalent of this fabulous black strapless dress, don't push it to the back of the rack because it exposes a lot of skin that might get goosebumps on a cold night out clubbing.

It's difficult to find inexpensive plus size cocktail dresses and party wear with this kind of high end styling and a cheap price tag not to mention adjustable ties for a perfect fit, so for goodness sake let us find a way to wear this sexy plus size diva - licious dress to those upcoming holiday parties! You can never have too much glam on hand for the last four months of the year! There's

• Labor Day weekend
• Halloween
• Thanksgiving
• Then December 1st through January!

You have several options to extend the life of this plus size pretty and make yourself the best dressed curvaceous, voluptuous babe at any special occasion!
If you're not in the mood to feed the men's flesh addiction, cover your arms and back with a sheer, ruffled evening shawl. There are sheer, elegant shawls and beaded pashmina scarves that will provide a little coverage when you want it and you can strip it off if you get too warm on the dance floor. A contrasting color or classic black will work nicely and if you're feeling very festive metallic fabrics are nice.

PLUS SIZE HALTER TOPS - SEXY, SOPHISTICATED and DOWNRIGHT YUMMY

After taking inventory of my options for using silky, flowing kimono style tops as part of the purrrrfect plus size party outfit over my pretty plus size lingerie, I decided to take a look at the options for real plus size party wear. Not casual tops converted and accessorized to serve as plus size cocktail party attire, but sophisticated, stunning formal shirts and tops that began life with that purpose in mind.

What knocked my eyes out right off the bat (or rack) was this empire waist cocktail top in hot pink satin. Talk about WOW factor! The benefits are that there's some elastic in the back for a better fit, the cups are built in and the jeweled brooch at the center of the breast is tasteful and you won't have to replace it because it looks cheap. If you happen to have a rhinestone pin that you like better in the jewelry box, you could certainly make the switch to a more high end style of adornment. The drawbacks of this top are that not every smoking hot plus size lady likes to display the amount of naked skin that a halter of this style would leave exposed. Plus, the evening might be cool! Layering is the answer to the dilemma and this can be acheived with

• A plus size shawl
• Matching Satin Evening wrap
• A sexy sheer shirt that will cover you but still show your cocktail top to full advantage

The solution would be to find a sheer long sleeve or even a short cap sleeved evening blouse to wear over the halter. The results would be trendy, modest, but still sexy. I have seen evening blouses of this type with rhinestone buttons down the front and on the cuffs. The cuffs and collar might be satin or the sheer fabric doubled to make a sturdy foundation for the button closures.

I WANT PLUS SIZE BABY DOLL TOPS LIKE THE ONES AT ANTHROPOLOGIE

I cruise the Anthropologie website and just love the cool empire waist, baby doll and peasant tops and just know they would fit into my plus size wardrobe perfectly, but no such luck. The pretty deep scoop necks and flutter sleeves don't come in plus sizes large enough to fit my generous, curvacious bustline so I looked elsewhere! TAKE THAT ANTHROPOLOGIE!



Either of these silky tops would fit the need in my wardrobe for plus size baby doll tops! I can use the wild animal print plus size kimono style top cocktail tops with a pair of strappy black beaded sandals and some wide leg palazzo pants for evening wear. I can see a pair of black jet chandelier earrings setting off those leopard print (or cheetah print?) spots to a T! Can't you?

I love the way the details of these empire waist tops highlights the bosom. The Hey, if you're busty show it off. How many ladies pay expensive prices for surgery to get what we were born with?

PLUS SIZE COCKTAIL DRESS - BLACK GLITTER - Y

Here's an option if you're looking for something pretty, flattering and more fitted than an plus size empire cocktail dress. Wrap style formal evening dresses can be wonderful or they can be disappointing to me. There's something about a wrap waist, surplice bodice knit dress that calls for me to add a shawl. I'm just not that confident or comfortable with just one layer when the fit is that revealing. With this sparkling black number, I would drape my metallic silver evening shawl with the long fringe across my fanny and through my arms and I'm the picture of confidence.


Here's a close match to the silver evening sandals that the model in the picture is wearing.



Here's a black fabric evening clutch bag that I like. I didn't like the way that the purse in the pics didn't have any silver metal showing and yet the models shoes are silver. If you prefer the look of a solid black evening purse, I'd wear black shoes. The reason I chose this rhinestone bag is because it seemed to highlight the black sparkles in the dress and pulled the strappy shoes into the look.

I know that it's trendy to wear light colored footwear to make our legs look long, but there's a lot to be said for the old fashion fashion rule that says never wear shoes in a lighter color than your dress or pants hem. I'd love to hear your opinions on that! Meanwhile, I'm looking for some sexy plus size lingerie to wear under my dress!

WAYS to WEAR and TIE PLUS SIZE SARONGS

No plus size pretty’s swimwear wardrobe should be without a plus size sarong. It’s not only a charming piece of clothing, it’s useful. If you get out of the beach chair and want to go to a nice seaside café or restaurant rather than a less casual place to eat, that lovely length of fabric and some sandals might get you a seat when the rules say that no swimsuits are allowed. If you are wearing a bikini and need a top there are ways to wear your sarong that will take care of covering the cleavage and your butt to boot!


Plus size sarongs come in mesh, opaque as well as sheer fabrics similar to that in plus size lingerie. My suggestion is to build a wardrobe of all three! Sarongs are always fashionable. So long as there are women on the beach, there’s the need for a cover or wrap. Sure, you can substitute a big t-shirt or even one of your boyfriend’s cotton button down oxford cloth shirts, but for a cheap price you can be so much more alluring and sophisticated. There are sarongs for men, but it’s my opinion that there are few styles of sarongs that are as appealing as a lady’s sarong worn as a skirt.

A sarong that is chosen to match the style and color of your plus size swimsuit will force wandering eyes to skip over the sand sticking to your behind and admire your voluptuous figure instead. Considering the average man's skin addiction I think that you will see an increase in the number of compliments that you receive wearing your sarong. There's just something very alluring and sexy about the drape of the stretchy fabric and the way it swings when you walk down the beach.
The weight and hand of the fabric is important, but it’s just as crucial to know how to tie your sarong to display all your assets to their sweet full figured advantage.

HOW TO TIE A SARONG


There’s a trick to how to tie a sarong, but it’s not difficult. In fact it’s easy and will only take a few minutes of practice to get the basics of tying your sarong down pat.


TIE YOUR SARONG RIGHT and TIGHT


There are several ways to tie a sarong. First, decide whether you want to wear your sarong as:

• A dress
• A skirt

If your sarong will be your primary mode of dress, it’s very important that you tie it in such a way that it won’t fall off and expose your lingerie. No matter how fancy your undies are, you want to make the call on when they are exposed! Right? So, follow the instructions on how to tie and wear the sarongs in different ways and remember to tie those knots tight!


TYING A DRESS SARONG


Wrap the sarong securely around your hips, waist and chest. Your knot will be tied at the shoulder either in the front or back depending on what you want to accentuate! Tuck the ends of the knot end for a finished look or allow the loose ends to flow as an independent layer of decoration. I have seen the fabric ends secured with a jeweled pin or brooch. A beautiful jewel tone silk sarong’s knot might slip as the fabric is slick and difficult to secure, so some insurance might be a good thing no matter how good you are at the art of tying sarongs!

A peek of leg showing through the slit at the front of the sarong might be just the look you want, but if you need more modesty slip some safety pins in from behind to close the gap and hide your legs for the time being.



HOW TO TIE A SARONG AS A SKIRT


As you can imagine, the instructions for tying sarongs to wear as a skirt is easy compared to the more difficult method of tying a sarong to wear as a long or short dress. Either sling the sarong low on the hips (a perfect opportunity to let the top of your thong or bikini peep over the top) or wrap it at your natural waist and then tie your knot to one side. As a finishing touch, twist the material to be certain that the printed side is on top and visible.


In your wildest imagination did you ever dream that there were so many ways to wear a sarong or that it would be so very easy to tie a sarong? Go forth; build a huge wardrobe of sarongs for every occasion from weddings to beach parties!

PLUS SIZE SWIMWEAR on SALE!

I know, I just entered some opinions on what I think is the best plus size womens bathing suits on sale or not and here I get the heads up that there are some deep discounts and free gifts and shipping on swimwear for YOU and ME!

You never know what bathing suits are going to be in style for Spring and Summer 2008 but I'll never pass the chance to pick up a classic beach number for a discounted price!

They carry my favorite brands! I love Liz Claiborne plus size stuff so her swimsuits are probably pretty cool, too. I haven't tried Delta Burke's line but would love to read some reviews on fabrics because they are really cute!

ATTENTION! PLUS SIZE PRETTIES are STILL ON THE BEACH and SWIMSUITS are on SALE!

It figures that womens plus size swimsuits are on sale while Cancun's getting blasted by a hurricane of massive proportions, but the good news is that it's HOT on less glamorous beaches as well as the glam tourist destinations.

I enjoy a swimsuit with a pretty ruffled skirt, but women's designer plus size swimsuits have come a long way towards making me feel pretty good about things in a one piece or even a two piece tankini. If I plan to do a good bit of swimming, skiing or other water sports a wet skirt no matter how short has a habit of flapping around. No matter how short the skirt is, the slapping, flapping action will irritate the tops of my thighs and red thighs is not a good look for any chick.




The way to avoid all that is to pick one of the one piece designer plus size swim suits and get some matching swimwear like a sexy, seductive sarong to wrap around your hips when you leave the water or a wrap style robe. I love this brown one piece plus size swimsuit with pretty bows to decorate the cleavage. It would be a real shame to cover this baby up at all, but the sheer cover up in chocolate brown would enhance rather than detract from the swimwear! Sheer lingerie is better than bare skin any old day!

ARE YOU WEARING SOMEBODY ELSE'S PLUS SIZE PANTIES?

You can stop yelling that you ran them through the laundry first. What I mean is, are you really wearing the BEST plus size panties for your generous plus size luscious behind? Plus size thongs and thigh high stockings are superb and heavy in the sex department, but are they really the best panty for the heavier goddess? Sure, fleshaddiction is real and we want to flash a little uncovered mama to our men but I have found that g-strings or thin strap thongs don't show my butt off to the best advantage.

I'm not trying to turn you off of thongs or sign you up to wear granny panties. This site is about us goddesses of many pounds looking sumptious, sexy and hot after all. The plus size wardrobe tips that I want to convey is that the same styles don't look good on every body. Dress to suit your shape and of course the season. What do you wear in the summer? Velvet?Plus size models might, but the real women are dressing for the day....and nights.

Oh those nights! Lace-up plus size little boy leg tap panties fit into my plans. I like underpants for play that have a wider band but all the sexy features of a lacy thong. No granny pants for me, but save the strings and skinny straps for the bony chicks.
