I get a lot of emails and comments from curvy girls wanting to know where to get hot sassy lingerie (I’m talking hot for the bedroom, not everyday lingerie), and until now I’ve been able to suggest a few places but never actually tried anything out for myself. Until now…
Chrystal from Curvy Girl Lingerie, which is a plus size lingerie boutique in the US, got in touch with me last month to see if I wanted to try some of their lingerie. Of course, I said yes! She suggested The Kate – a mesh babydoll that she thought would suit me, and I agreed. I’ve always found “sexy” bedroom lingerie in the past to be a bit hit and miss because my bust is a bit bigger than the average C-DD you often see catered for (I’m a 20J), so I took a chance and went by my dress size (which is a US22) and ordered the 3/4X which should fit US sizes 22-28 (that’s NZ 26-32 if you’re unfamiliar with US sizing).
It is definitely smaller than I’d like cupwise but let’s be honest – this is lingerie for the bedroom not for everyday, and even though it doesn’t give me the lift and support that I expect from a bra, it is super comfortable to wear, it feels nice on and well, let’s just say my boyfriend liked it.
The Kate works with different body types and the way it’s cut allows for a wide range of bust, arm and hip sizes. The sleeves can be worn capped (as seen here) if you want to cover your shoulders or the tops of your arms, or in more of a tank top style like I’ve worn them. It’s one of those styles that I think would look great on almost every curvy babe.
For the record, it also comes with a matching g-string. Personally, I don’t feel sexy in a g-string and I find them uncomfortable (full briefs all the way!), so I wouldn’t wear it, but it’s there if that’s your jam.
Ordering from Curvy Girl Lingerie was super easy and my parcel arrived in under a week from America – pretty impressive considering that it takes longer than that to send mail across Auckland! International shipping is a bit pricey at around $45 to New Zealand, however I think that while the prices are comparative to what you could find at say, Peaches and Cream, the selection available in plus sizes are far superior at Curvy Girl Lingerie – because they are a boutique that specialises in plus sizes.It’s worth paying the extra for shipping, and I’m really looking forward to the day when I can pop in to their store in San Jose.
UPDATE: The Curvy Girl Lingerie have worked hard and got us a better rate for shipping to New Zealand – shipping costs are now $25. Thanks Cuvy Girl Lingerie, we love when stores actively seek to make our shopping experience better and more affordable!
So let’s talk about sexy lingerie – do you enjoy wearing it? What styles do you like? Give me the lowdown on what sassy things you like to wear or what you’re coveting from Curvy Girl Lingerie!

I LOVE lingerie, but I haven’t worn any in ages! I have some everyday fancier bra & underwear sets that I wear, when I want that extra confidence boost, but I haven’t pulled out my sexy bedroom lingerie in so long. I should go find it! I love this though, going to go check out the site. I LOVE the colour!
I think you should pull it out and pop it on! Nothing like randomly dressing up all sexy 😀
I am 6ft and have large everything … I have an android body … I have been looking for ages for bras to fit as the place I use to go to which is in Hamilton and Im in Whangarei dont have our sizes no more.
What size are you looking for Lucy? I’m sure I can help you find something! xo
You look absolutely stunning Megan.
Thanks Mike!
Gorgeous color on you, very pretty!
Thanks! xo
That’s really pretty Meagan
Thanks Kate
You look amazing. I have the same body shape as you but unfortunately very small breasts (size A darn it! LOL) and I’m 5 feet 10 inches tall. It makes it difficult to find things that fit nicely. My husband love romantic/ sexy looking under garments on me but I only own 2 due to finding things that fit right.
Thanks Teresa! Maybe get in touch with the team at Curvy Girl, they should be able to help point you in the right direction! xo
Stunning! I *adore* that colour on you. Your boyfriend is indeed a lucky man!
Hell yes full briefs ✔️
Babe! I’m in the market but unfortunately this is beyond my budget for now. You look hot though and great pics x
