Plus Size Lingerie and Kitty Heels- A Hot Combination!

You are all vamped up in a leopard print teddy and waiting for your husband to arrive home. You are feeling naughty and sexy and so full of anticipation. You check yourself out in the mirror, smile at your choice of accessories, give your hair a fluff and spritz on a dab of the most provocative perfume you own, which is your husband’s favorite.

You are feeling like the sexiest woman in the world. You glance down at your feet and admire your pedicure. Red toenails suit your choice of  plus size lingerie perfectly and the ankle bracelet is a nice touch. Despite it all, you have the nagging feeling that something essential is missing. But what could it be? Then you remember- shoes! You make a mad dash to put on the kitten heels you bought to go with the sexy ensemble. Now your outfit is complete!

A kitten heel (sometimes simply called a kitty heel) is the heel on a woman’s dressy shoe that is short as well as slender. In order to be a kitten heel it must be no higher than two inches (five centimeters). Most kitten heels are anywhere from one inch to two inches high and sport a “slight curve setting the heel in from the edge of the shoe”. The kitten heel is often considered to be a type of stiletto heel and many types of kitty heels have a sharp pointed toe which only adds to their sex appeal. Lots of women’s sandals have kitty heels, as do strappy shoes for special occasions, and mules (backless shoes that can be open toed or close toed). The kitten heel was made popular by actress Audrey Hepburn in the late 1950s.

Kitty heels are the perfect shoe for a variety of types of lingerie. For example in the scenario above you might want to choose an open toed pair with a leopard print design that matches your outfit and shows off your pretty red toenails.

On a day when you are feeling more demure and decide to slip into a pastel colored chemise such as one that is pink, baby blue, soft green or light yellow, you might want to choose a neutral colored pair of kitty heels to complete the outfit. If you plan to walk around your home in them you would be wise to not buy a pair with too high a heel as accidents can easily happen. Floors are slippery and staircases can be difficult to negotiate in heels.

Some kitten heels are a combination shoe/slipper and are designed with lots of fun extras, such as feathers, sequins, colorful designs and beaded detail. The plus size lady who enjoys playing dress up with her partner will want to make sure that her French maid costume as well as her nurse’s costume are paired with the right pair of shoes. When it comes to lingerie, kitten heels are the number one choice. There is nothing better!

Having Fun Wearing Plus Size Lingerie!

Every woman needs to feel good and to have fun with every piece of lingerie she wears. Forget lingerie that is too revealing, too skimpy, too tight, too trashy or just plain not you. Lingerie is as individual as the woman who wears it. With a little effort, you can find lingerie that feels like it was created just for you.

If you already enjoy buying new bras or panties but that is where your lingerie know-how ends, then you have only just begun your journey into the sensuous world of the woman who likes to wear  pieces of clothes that make her feel sexy, seductive, romantic and feline frolicky! Plus size lingerie is an excellent way to start a fire in the bedroom but it is also equally at home on a night when you are sitting down in front of the television to watch a good movie with your beloved.

Lingerie for the plus size woman does not have to be uncomfortable to be sexy or romantic. There are plenty of styles, colors and material that can appeal to you on many different levels. Let us take a look at some of the options available to plus size women when it comes to lingerie.

Baby doll nighties (also know as chemises) are one of the most popular of all types of lingerie. The baby doll chemise is very flattering to the plus size lady as it plays up her curves while downplaying the parts of her body she you may like the least. The baby doll is sexy, playful and very figure enhancing. It can also be naughty as opposed to nice when it is called for.

Most babydoll chemises are made from material that are very lightweight and soft such as cotton, lace, net and silk. Some come in a bustier style similar to a plus size bra while others are more relaxed for comfort. The conventional babydoll nightie is made with spaghetti straps, a plunging neckline (to varying extents) and sports an empire waist. Most babydolls fall somewhere in the thigh area.

Sheer and lacy does not have to mean nearly naked! If you are a plus size woman who shies away from wearing sheer and lacy lingerie, then you have not found the right type for yourself yet. Avoid sheer lingerie that is too short, too tight or is barely there. There are beautiful lacy, sheer nightgowns that are three quarter length or floor length that are very eye catching and will hug your body in all of the right places. Long nightgowns have an elegance about them that is similar to the beauty and appeal of a floor length ball gown sweeping across the floor.

Buy gauzy nightgowns that are either long as in touching the floor, or thigh length, such as babydoll style. The latter is an excellent choice for the hot days of the summer season. Look for loose but oh so sexy sleep shirts and adorable baby doll pajamas. Mesh separates such as a camisole top and tap pants are also excellent additions to the lingerie section of any plus size lady’s wardrobe.

Lingerie For Plus Size Women

As you stand looking in the full length mirror before heading out the door for work or a night out, what do you take notice of? It is how your hair looks, whether your blouse lies flat or whether or not you have a run in your pantyhose? While all those things are important to your overall appearance, many women forget that the foundation for every good outfit is their undergarments.

If you are not sure if you qualify as a plus size woman or not then you need to understand what being plus size is. Plus size gals are bigger boned women who wear a size 14 and up. In the UK plus size ladies wear a size 16 and up. The selection for lingerie and undergarments is vastly improved today over what it once was for women who have lots of curves.

Plus size women need to start with a couple of good plus size bras and panty sets. You should have at least two or three that you can choose from. Buy what you can afford and watch for sales. While matching sets are nice to have, they are not essential. On one shopping trip you might pick up a bra and next time you might pick up a pair of panties that are close in color but not exact. Sometimes the contrast in colors is just as nice. If you do decide to buy a matching set, go with black or nude as neutral colors are always appropriate choices.

Every woman needs to have a seamless bra and panty set as part of her plus size lingerie wardrobe. Choose between briefs, bikinis or thongs. Many women avoid thongs because they find them uncomfortable. Rest assured that there are thongs on the market that are comfortable to wear. While thongs may not be your choice for everyday wear, they are very sexy! Even on a day when you will not be in the company of a man, you might want to put a pair of thongs on to make yourself feel sexy!

Camisoles (or camis for short) are a most versatile aspect of a plus size woman’s lingerie wardrobe. Camis can be worn with half slips when you are planning on wearing a dress or they can be worn underneath a blouse for extra coverage. Camis are versatile enough to be worn under a jacket for a night out on the town. Own more than one camisole at once. The best colors to outfit your wardrobe with to start include beige, black and white.

Do not forget the importance of hosiery. Staple colors you need for daytime wear include black opaque, nude fishnet and black fishnet. For nighttime wear, reach for the sheer hose- nude sheer and black sheer. Sheer hosiery rules the nighttime scene.
