Finding lingerie that fits properly can be a daunting task for any woman. This struggle is more frustrating for women with larger breasts. From cup sizes that are too small to underwire that dig into the skin, the challenges can seem endless.

The search for lingerie is about finding something that not only fits, but also makes you feel confident. Lingerie is suppose to make women feel sexy. When lingerie caters to women of all sizes, then everyone can feel beautiful and comfortable in their own skin.

Meet Lingerie Designer Emily Whitehead

Emily Whitehead is the senior design director at Savage X Fenty. While studying knitwear at Brighton University, Whitehead worked for an international lingerie brand called Agency Provocateur as a shop girl. She fell in love with the entire experience during her journey. She decided to step into design because of the empowering feeling she gained through her work.

When people design lingerie for women with larger breasts, there are specific factors that need to be considered. Some of these factors are design, comfort, fabric and trim. Whitehead said that a big consideration for Savage x Fenty designers while making lingerie for women with big breasts is beautiful designs with additional support. She also said that the proper fabric and trim are very important for women who are heavier on top. There needs to be ample stretch and recovery for the great support and long-lasting wear.

Best Lingerie For Big Breasts

When selecting lingerie, Whitehead recommends choosing bras that have strong power mesh in the wings for extra comfort and support. It is important to be mindful of rigid fabric in the back area because it may cut into the body and cause discomfort. Here are a few bras from Savage X Fenty that are sexy, but still provide the support needed.

The lingerie design expert also suggests teddys and bodysuits as lingerie styles that work best for women with larger breasts. When shopping for these items, you should look for pieces with adjustable straps, a high leg line to elongate your limbs, stretch fabric to hug your curves and an underwire for structured support.

One thing that women with larger breasts should avoid is bras with stretchy front straps. These bras do not offer enough lift for bigger busts and can contribute to the girls sitting lower. These Savage X Fenty bodysuits and teddies would be perfect additions to any lingerie collection.

Building Your Confidence In Sexy Intimates

For many women with larger breasts, finding lingerie that fits properly can be a constant source of frustration and insecurity. Ill-fitting bras or uncomfortable underwear can lead to a lack of confidence when it comes to wearing lingerie. One way to overcome insecurities about wearing lingerie is to prioritize comfort and fit over aesthetics. Finding lingerie that fits well and feels good can help boost confidence and allow women to feel comfortable in their own skin. Focusing on body positivity and self-love can help shift the focus away from perceived flaws and onto the unique beauty and strengths of one’s own body.

“It’s all about going with what makes you feel most comfortable because when you do, that’s when your confidence shines through,” Whitehead said. “Lingerie is typically very sexy, so we make sure that our customers have additional options that can offer a little spice too.”
