Best bras for plus size women

Looking for the best bras for plus size women, we are here to help.

Lingerie shopping is never easy and if your plus size there are far fewer options in terms of product. Now of course we have come along way! Bras for plus size women used to mean super frumpy styles – and there has definitely been an improvement in this area – but if you need pointing in the right direction, check out our favourite brands and bras below.

  1. Simply Be – Simply Be are a plus size specialist and stock lots of other brands as well as some of their own exclusive plus size collections. They carry a greater range of back sizes as well as big cup sizes, making them a perfect stop for plus size women. Unfortunately they are just online so make sure you use the fit guides. Better still go and get fitted first to try and get the best fit. Even if you’re not sure if a store carries your size, you can still get them to fit you. Here are a few of our current favourite sets…

2. Figleaves – this multi brand website is such a hub of lingerie engineering and they’ve worked really hard in developing their plus size bra and plus size swimwear product offering in the last couple of years. Again this is a website but they carry loads of great plus size friendly lingerie brands too! With bras up to a K cup and back sizes to a 44. Great for sports bras too – such as Panache! Here are a few of our current favourite sets…
