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.

Make substantial savings on the Ulla range.

It’s been a good week for plus size models in the media, as size 16 girls have taken to the runway at London Fashion Week, while a leading highstreet chain has installed size 16 mannequins in its store.

Crystal Renn, a gorgeously curvaceous model from the USA, modelled a low-cut red dress by designer Mark Fast.

Meanwhile, a day earlier Debenhams debuted size 16 mannequins in its shops, aiming to show they offered a choice of clothing for a wide variety of women, while TV guru Tyra Banks has begun rolling out her search for America’s first top plus size model.

We at UpperCup think these are all great ideas and it’s nice to see plus size women being celebrated as the curvy, buxom beauties that they are. We still have a special offer running for blog readers to treat yourself to discounted products from the Ulla and Plie ranges. You could save up to 85% off the RRP!

By picking up some Plie shapewear or gorgeous Ulla lingerie, you’ll be ready to stage a fashion show of your own!

Just enter the code BGULLA or BGPLIE at the checkout to make your saving!

Save up to 85% on the luxurious Ulla range.

We have a special February offer on all in-stock products in the Ulla lingerie range. Ulla is a brand that’s particularly popular in the USA, and we’re sure you’ll agree is one of the most sumptuous plus-size lingerie ranges.

Made from the highest quality fabrics, Ulla combines extreme luxury with a high level of comfort. This sexy lingerie features exquisite detail, such as the fine Spanish embroidery on the Ulla Gracia Lace Thong.

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.

You can view out excessive range of Plie Shapewear at www.uppercup.com.

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?

Check out our range of lingerie for bigger breasted women at www.uppercup.com

If you are interested in purchasing Esbelt Shapewear, we stock the whole range at our main Uppercup website.

Please get in touch if you have any questions on it, we are always happy to help.

Esbelt is branded as Squeem in the US and this video from a US retailer shows how the waist cincher perfectly enhances the shape of the waist.

At Uppercup we have the Esbelt Waist Cincher in stock as well as the whole of the Esbelt range.

We have all the latest Esbelt shapewear range in stock, you can check them out here.

We are also going to be adding some pictures of how this shapewear really works. Whilst the shapewear looks great on these models, it really comes into its own for those of us with a bit more to shape!!

Well the good news is that is simply not the case. The garments you need are made, it’s just that most High Street shops don’t bother to keep them.

Essie, founder of UpperCup.com has spent sixteen years taking up the challenge on your behalf. The result is that if you visit http://www.uppercup.com/ now you’ll find a whole world of Fantasie Bras, Panache bras in the sizes you need. Forget traipsing around the shops getting frustrated at what you don’t find. There in your own home, on your computer screen, is a whole range of Freya underwear in sizes you thought they didn’t make.

UpperCup don’t stop there. When Essie started the company to help women like herself, she had more in mind than just sexy underwear. Swimwear presents the same problem but Panache swimwear is now available in the sort of cup sizes you seek.

Now you can look good and feel comfortable at the swimming pool or on the beach. Move over stick insects, the real women have arrived! Panache UK and UpperCup have set you free!

UpperCup is not just any online lingerie shop. When you visit the site one of the first things you’ll notice is that it is dedicated to serving those women who need larger than average cup sizes. They stock nothing below a “D” cup and go right on up to “L”, in sizes from 30” to 56”. How many shops on the High Street have you come across who do the same?

Something else you’ll notice too is that there’s nothing frumpish about the styles on offer. Essie is a large cup lady herself and she knows that you all want to look and feel as glam and sexy as anyone else. Since 2003 she’s made it her business to see that you can.
