Pretty lingerie for bigger ladies?

I'm a size 18/20 with a stomach the same as this lady's in the screenshot. I've won two boudoir photo shoots (Did not expect to win both that I entered!) and in the second screenshot is what they advise you bring with you. Because of my belly I can't wear corsets or basques because I hang out of the bottom Blush and the stupid overhang 'eats' knickers unless I buy huge ones that meet my nipples Confused I have the same issue with suspender belts too Sad I either hang out the bottom or they get 'eaten'

I was really excited and now I just feel a bit deflated, not sure what to do really. So I thought I'd ask here in the hopes that someone can advise me. Babydolls do look nice on me, but I don't want to turn up with loads of them Grin

I was hoping someone would have some clever ideas or tips, or suggestions of somewhere I can buy something nice that might actually flatter me Confused

Could you wear shapewear pants under a corset

Have a look at Tutti Rouge as well for nice body suits (is that what we call them now? We used to call them Teddies in the 80s!)

You know that those boudoir photoshoots are usually hard sell? Very difficult to get out of there. Ask on a MN thread what people's experiences were. Have you searched for SM/Google reviews on the company you are going to?

@DianaT1969 it's fine, I'm poor so can't afford to spend millions on photos so they can try and sell me as many as they like, doesn't change the fact I can't actually buy anything Grin

That's good. Don't take your debit card and you'll be fine 👍😁

By the way, look at Pour Moi? Lingerie. Good value and up to 18 on some styles and 22 in others. Lots of high waist brief options. Enjoy!

Suspender belts are uncomfortable no matter what size you are. I didn't realise anyone still bothered with them. Maybe that says more about me! Don't beat yourself up OP good luck Wink
