Top 10 Plus Size Lists of 2010

Happy New Year!

I always feel energized and excited on the first day of the year.

The bustle and commotion has passed, the house is filled with the remnants of Christmas yet it becomes satisfyingly still.

My favorite time is to sit in front of the slightly wilting Christmas tree and plan for the year about to begin.  This day holds the promise of many things to come and endless possibilities. 

As I welcome the year 2011, I want to share with you some of my favorites from the year past.

The 2010 Undie Awards - Plus Size Winners

This is a little known awards contest that votes for the favorite choices in lingerie made by customers of http://www.herroom.com/ . I have noticed it for a couple of years now and am always interested to see the winning choices. Of course the majority of the categories are not plus size so I will not list them all. You may like to see what other women have chosen as their all time best bras.


Winners in the Full Figure Categories…

Favorite Overall Full Figure Bra

And the winner is Keira by Elomi

The Goddess Keira Underwire Bra, from the Goddess lingerie collection, is an ultra-supportive underwire bra with lovely satin cups that feature sheer tops. This Goddess full cup bra has limited stretch straps and a leotard back construction to prevent strap slippage. You'll get amazing support in a beautiful design when you wear the Goddess Keira Underwire Bra.






Favorite Full Figure Strapless Bra

And the winner is Smoothing Seamless Strapless Bra by Fantasie

 I am not familiar with this bra so I don't have any information  to add.

Have a look at my favorite strapless bra by Elomi.




 

Favorite Full Figure Minimizer Bra

And the winner is Satin Tracings Minimizer Bra by Bali
Bail's best selling minimizer bra. Minimizer styles are ideal if you are looking for reduction without flattening - resulting in a beautiful, slimmer silhouette. Bali's ingenious design provides full coverage with bustline reduction up to 1 3/4” for most styles.







Are any of these your favorites?

Olympic Spirit - Plus Size Sports Bras

The eyes of the world are focused on the Vancouver 2010 Olympic games. I am not a huge sports fan however I can’t help feeling the international enthusiasm for the best of the best.

While I am immersed in sports, I think it is a good time to look at plus size sports bras. A sports bra is a must for walking as well as working out or impact sports. If you are catching Olympic fever and are ready to get active, the bra you choose is important for you.

Unfortunately there are not a great variety of sports bras in larger sizes. The sports bra is a softer, unstructured bra made of a moisture wicking fabric. Some women prefer this style for every day as well as exercising.

These bras can almost look like a summer top. They have no wires in them for comfort when moving. The back is usually a racer back or close set straps in the back to give freedom to the shoulder blades during movement. The high tech fabrics make these styles so comfortable and soft against the skin with the moisture wicking ability as a great asset.

Sports bras have attention given to comfort during movement so that nothing will bind up or rub and create sore spots on the skin. Most hooks are padded and the trims are covered in a soft microfiber. No lace or pretty bits. These bras have a job to do …..

The Tatiana Plus Size Sports bra is available up to size 3XL and the Goddess Plus Size Sports bra size range is up to 48G. These are both excellent choices depending on your size and activity style.

Enjoy the games .. Go team go!
