Branded lingerie D – L cup

It’s that time of year again, when lingerie roadshows take to the road. These shows are an important event for the lingerie industry, with many top brands on show – including some designed for fuller-figured women.

First in the calendar this year is the Harrogate Lingerie Show,  taking place from on Sunday 28th February-Monday 1st March 2010 at The Old Swan Hotel, Harrogate.

Then on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th March, the show comes to Bournemouth’s Royal Bath Hotel.

To give you a taster of what to expect, we found this video of the Harrogate Lingerie Show 2009, which took  place 22nd-24th February 2009.

Many brands were presented at this show, some of them are also designed for bigger breasted women: Hot Milk Maternity Lingerie & Gossard and Berlei and can been ordered at www.uppercup.com

Upcoming Lingerie Roadshows in 2010:
• The Harrogate Lingerie Roadshow will take place on Sunday 28th February – Monday 1st March 2010 at The Old Swan Hotel.
• The Bournemouth Lingerie Roadshow is on Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th March 2010 at The Royal Bath Hotel.

An undercover investigation by consumer magazine Which? has revealed that less than 1 in 3 high street shops’ bra fitting services measured up for women with DD cup and above.

One of the bras was fitted so badly, there was room for a pair of socks in the cups!

Having a bra that fits properly is very important, not just in terms of appearance and comfort, but also because a badly fitted bra can lead to back pain and bad posture. Especially for curvy figures, being properly supported is essential to your comfort, and it’s hard to look your best when you feel uncomfortable.

Here at UpperCup, we have a comprehensive sizing guide to help you find the best fit for you. As well as providing a guide on how to measure both cup and back size, there are size guides for every brand we stock, as sizes do vary between brands.

When it comes to shopping, we all know men and women are very different animals. But the good news for us girls is that a surprising item tops the list for getting men’s hearts racing when shopping – yes, it’s women’s lingerie.

In a study carried out by Debenhams and reported in the Daily Express, heart monitors were fitted to track the heart rates of 1,000 shoppers as they browsed in store. The aim was to find out which departments saw customers get most enthusiastic.

For men, it was lingerie that topped the list – let’s hope that was more down to excitement than embarrassment! Women, on the other hand, were most excited when they were treating themselves to a gorgeous party dress or a pair of glam shoes.

The study was carried out on Christmas shoppers, but as Valentine’s Day fast approaches, this could be the time to drop a subtle hint to your special someone that the perfect gift for both of you might be some luscious plus-size lingerie from the ranges available on UpperCup.com

We’ve just found a fab video that’s all about the Plie Slimming Tube, showing in detail the advantages of wearing the shapewear underwear.

The Plie Slimming Tube can be worn  all day long and is so comfortable you won’t even realise you’re wearing it, as it doesn’t restrict you. The tube has a moisture management system, allowing your body to breathe, and panels which push your tummy and hips in, and lift your bum. The aim is to give you the hour shaped figure, no matter what size you are. This seamless tube is very successful in the South America and Europe, and available now from UpperCup.

We all know that big is beautiful – but to the fashion industry, super-slim is still widely portrayed as the only way to be sexy. But we know that fuller-figured and bigger breasted women can still be ravishingly sexy – all women can be sexy, because sexy is a state of mind.

We recently came across a great US blog celebrating curvy women in all their glory. Plus-size lingerie is designed to make you feel and be super-sexy, and with the wide selection available at UpperCup, there’s something for everyone – no matter whether you’re looking for pretty plus-sized bras and panties, sexy shapewear or sumptuous swimwear that will make you feel – and look –  like a million dollars.

Sexiness is beauty that shines from the inside out. What better way to make yourself feel, and thus be, sexy than to treat yourself to some new, beautiful plus-size lingerie from the extensive UpperCup range?
