Plus size models are a hot topic of discussion right now, with the sight of more voluptuous ladies taking to the runways at London Fashion Week causing something of a media frenzy.

One plus size model from Worcester is hoping to be an inspiration to other larger-proportioned girls who fancy a career on the catwalk.

Lucy Shropshall, who wears size 14 to 16, started her career as a model when she was a teenager and quickly developed a curvaceous figure. Unlike other models who struggle to keep their weight down, Lucy has embraced her curves and made a successful career for herself.

She has featured in Italy’s edition of Vogue and will shortly be modelling for a range of high street stores in Birmingham.

Read Lucy’s full story in Worcester News.

UpperCup offers a range of plus size lingerie, plus size swimwear and plus size shapewear at its online store.

There’s still time to snap up a bargain in our February special offer, too.

Aviana provide comfort and style.

Valentine’s Day is just a few sleeps away and we hope to hear the sound of a card or two dropping through the letterbox – accompanied by some tokens of affection (ie presents!) too.

Lots of men in-the-know are aware that some sensual lingerie makes the perfect present for their beloved – but they’re not quite so savvy when it comes to actually choosing the perfect underwear gift for their partner.

So here at UpperCup, we thought we’d offer the men out there a helping hand in choosing the perfect lingerie for the lady in your life.

First of all, size matters: if your beloved is a 40F cup she won’t thank you for buying a 36DD or 44J. If you don’t know her size make sure you double check before ordering. UpperCup offers a wide range of bra sizes, from DD to L cup – be sure to get your lady’s dimensions right.

Secondly, what’s her style? Does she love super-sexy lingerie, like the super-hot Princess Balconette Bra from Curvy Kate? Or would she prefer something elegant, such as Ulla’s Gracia bra?

If your lady is pregnant or nursing, she might find it harder to feel sexy as her body changes. But you can reassure her how lovely you think she is with something sensual from the Hot Milk nursing and maternity range.

When you want to get her something comfortable for everyday wear, the Aviana range has lots to offer, and manufactures bras in a wide range of sizes. Knowing what your partner would want to buy is the key to choosing a perfect lingerie gift.

Colour choice matters a lot too. If your lady wouldn’t be seen dead in red, that’s probably not the best choice. Luckily, many UpperCup products, including this shimmery range from Goddess, come in dark and light colours so you can choose the perfect match (take a look at the clothes she wears, to get an idea here!)

If you really can’t make up your mind, let your lovely lady have a look at the UpperCup website and she’ll be able to choose exactly what she wants. What’s more, there’s a great sale on at the moment, so you could have a very happy girl on your arm!

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 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?

No, we aren’t suggesting a new diet fad, the latest weight loss pill or potion, but we have found an answer to getting a great figure in seconds.

It is the latest in fashion underwear called shapewear. There are quite a few brands out there at the moment offering shapewear or figure enhancing underwear. These range from specialist brands such as Esbelt, Plie and Spanx to the department stores offering their own brands of slimming lingerie like UK retailer Marks and Spencers.

Shapewear products come in all different styles and have been around for hundreds of years. One of the originals is the corset. Slimming corsets first became popular in the 16th century and the word Corset appears to have entered the English language in 1785 and are commonly associated with the Victorian era. Corsets were originally worn to enhance the shape of women’s bodies by slimming the waist and enhancing the bosom. Traditional corsets are still popular in various circles and are often worn as sexy underwear, popularly worn by brides on their wedding day.

In period films, scenes of the leading lady dressing in a slimming corset are common, with lots of pulling of strings by assistants to achieve the desired figure. Nowadays technology has moved on considerably meaning that figure enhancing and slimming corsets can be worn much more easily.

The Brazilian brand Esbelt have a range of slimming waist cinchers, vests, corsets and girdles, that do wonders to enhance and shape women’s figures, whilst being easy to wear. Slimming waist cinchers are one of the most popular type of shapewear. Esbelt even claim that their slimming waist cinchers and corsets can help accelerate weight loss though high compression, perspiration and micro massage. They claim that wearing Esbelt waist cincher offers the possibility of losing 1-4 inches within 30 days. This means that not only do you get the immediate benefit of improving your figure, you can also achieve longer term benefits at the same time.

In addition to the slimming and figure enhancing benefits of shapewear, some products can also help with common back problems. By improving posture, whilst both standing and seated, the additional support that corsets, girdles and slimming vests give the lower back, can make a real difference with lower back pain. However, if you are looking for support with back pain, you must always consult a doctor before wearing any slimming underwear.

The popular UK shows presented by Gok Wan and Trinny & Suzanna have made shapewear lingerie much more common in the UK’s underwear drawers. They also have done wonders in raising the profile of brands such as Esbelt, as well as allowing these presenters to launch their own shapewear brands.

As well as the common upper body slimming products, there are also a number of slimming panties to enhance the shape of your bum. These range from cycling short type pants, which do wonders for your bum but are certainly not the sexiest, when not covered up, to much sexier style pants that do a good job whilst still looking reasonably sexy when you show them to the man of your dreams.

Shapewear is not just restricted to women. There are quite a few products out there for men too, from girdles and corsets, to pants that enhance their manhood.

There is no better solution to improving your figure than keeping fit, but for many of us we need that added bit of help. With the amazing slimming underwear available, is now no excuse not to have that fabulous figure you’ve always dreamed of.
