I cannot shop at Victoria\u2019s Secret due to their bra sizes being far too small. I will not shop at Frederick\u2019s of Hollywood due to, well, they sell a lot of trashy lingerie and I don\u2019t feel like digging through it. Lane Bryant sells some, but mostly Spanx and pretty corsets.<\/p>\n<p>So I turned to the internet. Ah the glorious internet. I won\u2019t shop at any stores called \u201cbig girls bras\u201d or the like. Instead I discovered sites like <a href=\"http:\/\/www.HerRoom.com\" target=\"_blank\">HerRoom.com <\/a>and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.HipsAndCurves.com\" target=\"_blank\">HipsAndCurves.com<\/a>. Both have a wide variety of sizes in a huge selection of everything from bras, bustiers, corsets, panties, all over shapers and so much more. As someone who exclusively buys bras at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lanebryant.com\" target=\"_blank\">Lane Bryant<\/a>, these sites are a godsend with free or relatively low shipping and great return policies.<\/p>\n<p>Now for the matter at hand. <a href=\"http:\/\/beccablogs.com\/?p=130\" target=\"_blank\">My dress <\/a>has spaghetti straps and is fitted in the bodice, in true empire waist form, than completely flowing chiffon down to the floor. After many internal and twitter-fed debates, I am opting for Spanx and a strapless. Or maybe a strapless and a waist cincher. Or maybe a basque bra and Spanx. The possibilities are endless.<\/p>\n<p>From HipsAndCurves, I purchased the following items and should have them this week. <em>I&#8217;ve got no problem posting what I purchased, just don&#8217;t ever expect a picture of me in these things!<\/em> Between these and the high waisted Spanx, which would you wear? I&#8217;m not too concerned about fashion; more concerned with comfort and doing their job! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"imgProduct_79\" title=\"Daisy Embroidered Basque\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/images\/product\/medium\/79_1.jpg\" alt=\"Daisy Embroidered Basque\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" \/><br \/>\nDaisy basque bra, in white: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/p-79-plus-size-daisy-embroidered-basque-bras.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Image source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"imgProduct_512\" title=\"Waist Cincher With Garter Straps\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/images\/product\/medium\/512_1.jpg\" alt=\"Waist Cincher With Garter Straps\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" \/><br \/>\nThe waist cincher, in white. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/p-512-plus-size-waist-cincher-with-garter-straps-default.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Image source<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" id=\"imgProduct_196\" title=\"Flirty Ruffle Boyshort\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/images\/product\/medium\/196_1.jpg\" alt=\"Flirty Ruffle Boyshort\" hspace=\"2\" vspace=\"2\" \/><br \/>\nRuffle boy shorts, in black. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hipsandcurves.com\/plus-size-lingerie\/p-196-plus-size-flirty-ruffle-boyshort-panties.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Image source<\/a><\/p>\n<p>OK, so the shorts aren&#8217;t for the wedding <em>day<\/em>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Are you a plus-sized bride?
