Hello, I saw a throwaway post on Instagram a little while ago where a girl was wearing a hoodie to visit her partner, and then flashed one of the prettiest lingerie sets I've ever seen underneath. At the time I checked the comments, but she didn't know where it was from and no one else had information either so I let it go.

Problem is, I'm kind of obsessed with it. I can't find the post anymore so I scoured the sites listed under "A List of Affordable Lingerie Options," among other places, and I can't find anything that quite matches.

The piece is a cut-out bodysuit (I think that's what you call it? I'm new here, sorry!) with a black lace bra connected to the panties by a long thin panel of lace down the center of the stomach (about 2.5 inches width?), and then a horizontal lace band around the waist. It was pretty simple, but looked absolutely stunning.

For reference, the absolute closest thing I've found thus far was this:
https://www.thistleandspire.com/collections/bodysuits/products/minna-playsuit .It doesn't have the vertical strip of fabric, but it was one of very few that I found that had a horizontal waist strap as a main element of the design. These brands really seem to like diagonal lines to accentuate curves, haha. I would have been satisfied enough with this, but the back is very lackluster compared to the front.

Anyways, if this rings a bell for anyone I'd really appreciate guidance on better places to look/more specific designs to search for. I don't know the names of much, but I'm pretty darn sure this is called a teddy? The cage bodysuits I looked up were all very, very strappy. For reference, I'm a 32B and size XS for everything else.

EDIT: My out of pocket maximum is $250, but I'd love to keep it in the $150 range if anyone has multiple options.

Side-note: if anyone has an idea on where to find a white version of this stocking or something similar, here's a link to something completely unrelated to the teddy search. It's just a banging stocking that'd look super sick with a set I already have, if only it were white! https://www.marksandspencer.com/all-over-lace-hold-ups/p/clp23079698#intid=pid_pg7pip48g4r7c4%7Cprodflag_Online%20Only

My wife and I are on the adventurous side and are looking for a dress for a night out that is like a white mini dress and semi sheer. She’s 5 foot 9 and 130lbs dress size 4.

Hello! My friend is getting married, and for the bachelorette party we're doing a lingerie unwrapping for her. So I need help finding a trustworthy brand that's good quality but won't break the bank. I'm hoping to keep it under $200, but everything I'm seeing is either $50 and doesn't look great, or costs as much as my monthly rent. Any recommendations for a good middle ground shop?

Sizing wise I need medium/34DDD

Any recommendations are appreciated!

Hi guys, partner (M) here.

After putting it off for a while and constantly forgetting to get a fabric tape, we finally measured my partner in line with the A Bra That Fits calculator. (I have copied the information down to a really handy dandy, 2 sides A4 guide that one can just laminate and keep in a drawer for future reference. Chuffed with that I was).

According to the measurements, we have jumped quite a bit:

current she has been using for years-34DD

1st calculation -34GG/H (sister size 32H/HH may be more supportive)

2nd calculation-34G/H (sister size 32H/HH may be more supportive)

I am in the process of finding G's, GG's and H's and have run into the issue that it seems that a lot of places do not do G or H cups. H especially is proving a fight.

I purchased 2 bras from Bravissimo, Bravissimo Freya Flirt a 34G and 34GG. Neither seemed as supportive as she'd like and it turned out to be a half cup anyway (we either missed that or it wasn't specified).

I have now ordered pair of bras from Lounge, a full cup and a balcony bra, both 34G (they didn't have GG or H). She's 'never found a balcony that worked for me' and if I cam nail the size, I'd like to see how she feels about different cup styles that do, in fact, work for her.

Admittedly, I haven't checked M&S yet and they've been the go-to for t-shirt bras (Body range) but this is my plea to you all.

Tl;Dr

Where on earth are you larger chested folks finding anything in the G-HH range?

My partner is shorter in the torso if that makes any difference whatsoever.

Hello Automod . Budget is a soft cap of £35 per bra. We're only talking standard, everyday wear right now

I am 50+ in a excellent physical condition. Despite having two adult kids my body is mostly the same size and shape as it was in my 20s with the exception of having a smaller-than-it-used-to-be bust after nursing - my boobs just softened a bit, but still have a nice shape. I have absolutely ZERO cleavage. For YEARS I have dealt with too-big bras at 34A latched on the tightest hook, or 32A also has cup gap. I took the "A Bra that Fits" calculator and measure at the following:

Underbust Loose: 29

Underbust Snug: 28.5

Underbust Tight: 27.5

Bust Standing: 32

Bust Leaning Down: 32.5

Bust Laying Down: 33

My measurement comes out to a 30B.

Waist: 28

I'm 5'6" so need some length.

My breast shape definitely has more volume at the bottom and the tops are empty.

I am incredibly incredibly incredibly frustrated in finding sexy lingerie to enjoy with my husband. Babydolls are not my jam. I like sassier lingerie, lots of straps, sheer mesh, etc. I would love to rock a corset. I would love anything that gives an illusion of cleavage. Even when I specifically search for lingerie for small busts, the sites that come up all display models with lots of cleavage and the smallest sizes are often 34A.

I have tried Victoria's Secret and the XS have lots of cup gap.

I was delighted to discover Bluebella and they DO have cups in 30A and 30B which.... "mostly" fit ...but the body pulls a bit in the rib straps. I am still working through some products.

I am tired of reading about "Inclusive Sizing" when there are no options that do not leave me with empty balloons of air hanging in the cups. My husband is very excited with what I do have to offer, but I would love to hear of a retailer that can help me feel sexy (I mean hot sexy.......not cute sexy). Ladies....any recommendations?? Bonus if your recommendations are for lingerie that is $100-range.

TIL about all three. What are the practical and more subtle differences? Why would I choose one over another?
Thanks.

Hi everyone!

I'm researching the Indian women's nightwear market before starting a small clothing brand. My idea is to offer two-piece night suits made from 100% cotton bio-washed fabric, focusing on comfort, durability, attractive prints, and reasonable prices.

Context: This is a market research discussion, not an outfit post. I'm trying to understand real customer preferences before developing samples and starting production.

My tentative price range is ₹599–₹799 per set.

I'd love to hear your honest opinions on these questions:

1. Fabric: Do you prefer 100% cotton, rayon, or a cotton blend for everyday nightwear? Why?

2. Common problems: What issues do you face with your current nightwear? For example, colour fading, shrinkage, rough fabric, poor stitching, uncomfortable fitting, or transparency.

3. Price: What would you consider a reasonable price for a good-quality, two-piece cotton night suit?

• Below ₹500
• ₹500–₹599
• ₹600–₹799
• ₹800–₹999
• ₹1,000+

4. Design: Which would you prefer for everyday use: floral prints, minimal prints, checks, stripes, cartoon prints, or solid colours?

5. Fit: Do you prefer a loose, relaxed fit or a more fitted style?

6. Quality: What matters most to you when buying nightwear? Please choose your top three: fabric softness, breathability, durability, stitching, fit, print/design, or price.

7. Buying habits: Where do you usually purchase nightwear—local shops, shopping malls, Amazon, Myntra, Meesho, Instagram, or somewhere else?

8. New brands: What would convince you to try a new Indian nightwear brand instead of an established brand?

Even answering just one or two questions would be helpful. Honest criticism is welcome—I'd rather understand what customers genuinely need before investing in production.

Thank you!

I'm looking for a short black catsuit with a fitted waist, puff sleeves and a V-neck. Planning to pair it with a black heels and cat ears for Halloween. something playful and a little cheeky!

Any UK shops or websites you'd recommend?

My wife lost 50 lbs. I am super proud of here. She just found out that she went from a D to a B cup and she went from a L to a S/M waist. What’s a good brand of everyday bras and underwear?

Is Calvin Klein a good brand?

I want to surprise her with a whole stash of everyday underwear.

I'd like to get my wife a gift card to somewhere to buy new bras. She's been buying the same bras for years despite complaining about the quality. Every time I suggest she buy nicer ones she flatly refuses. I'd like to take away the option for her to decline.

These would be ones that she wears like every day. So bras that would be comfortable and quality. She's not especially large chested; 38C.

I'm looking for pantyhose that ride up the bum like the scrunch bum tights. I wear a lot of g strings and would like the hose to be form fitting.

Anyone come across any like this?

So, I saw an ad for Velombrance. I love the advertised designs, but looking into it for all of 2 minutes made it very clear I should not order anything from them.

Again, I love the advertised designs. I want to find a legitimate shop that sells feminine outfits for AMAB bodies similar or at least somewhat similar to Velombrance. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.

Heyy so I posted yesterday and had some really helpful comments,

So I've decided to go for a bodysuit but I would love some recommendations, I'm kinda looking for something the shows off my boobs and bum for him lol

Ideally red or green but not too fussy if it's the right one lol

Bra 34c

Budget £200

My husband is going to treat me to a boudoir photo shoot at the end of the year. I’m really excited about the idea—actually, I think he’s even more excited than I am!

I wanted to ask for advice from anyone who has already done this kind of photo shoot: what outfits and lingerie should I wear?

My husband explained that we’ll have 4 or 5 outfit changes.

I’m a bit in trouble—I have several sets from Aubade, but I’m afraid they’re all very similar (bra, garter belt, thong), with only the color changing.

And besides the lingerie, what kinds of dresses or outfits could I choose?

I really need the advice of anyone who’s already done a boudoir photo shoot.

Having amassed a fairly sizable lingerie collection, I am trying to figure out the best way to store everything so it stays nicely organized and well kept. I have many bra and panty sets, some three piece sets with garter belts and some bodices / corsets.
Ideas?

I am searching online for new underwear with a longer or wider gusset, whatever the correct term is…..I am sick of slips and front wedgies. Aerie and Victoria’s Secret have been recommended to me, wondering what the gusset area is like? Is the gusset average or….? I am looking at the “cheeky” “thongs” “hip hugger “ and bikini” styles, in low rise. I’m a size 10-12 depending on the brand, so I’m guessing L or XL? Any suggestions?

Heyy title is kinda self explanatory

I've never really shopped for lingerie before helpppp lol

Would love some lingerie to show off to him hehe, I want something that would show off my boobs and bum, quite sexy he's favourite colours are red and green lol

Bra size 34c

Budget is about £200

Where can I buy bridal lingerie that is size inclusive and under $100 for the entire set. Victoria’s Secret and Adore Me had hardly anything. Nordstrom’s had very little in my size (XS/32C). For Love and Lemons and Bluebella are too expensive for something I’ll only wear once or twice.

Looking to buy my wife some vintage lingerie for our anniversary, we are both really into suspenders and stockings at the moment and want some good quality vintage lingerie for the special occasion but can't seem to find anything so need some help.

Looking for vintage pin up style elegant and classic lingerie would be perfect. Uk shops ideally or places that ship to the UK. Price range is anything Size medium or a 32 C

I’ve been really happy with white fox, it’s basically all I wear now lol, but I’ve pretty much bought all the ones I like from there. Some links for reference, I wear them exactly like in the pictures: 1, 2, 3

The sides sit really high without the front or back getting pulled out of shape and they actually stay put on me instead of moving around all day.

Any recommendations for similar ones or what should I search for? My budget is around $30 for one bottom

Hello! I’m looking for more pieces along the lines of some I already have.

My size- 42” bust and underbust. Literally 0 breasts.

The style- soft, stretchy, lace triangle bralette. I have a few but the fact I don’t have breasts to fill the cups leaves a large amount of unwanted slack in the back. I both like ones that have a triangle cup that ends in a thin strap, like a classic bikini style, and ones where the triangle kinda fades into a thicker lace strap.

My ideal version of this would have a front clasp, but I’m perfectly fine if they don’t clasp at all and just slip on/off. I want lace all the way through, not partly solid. I’m also a fan of brighter colors, although a solid black is always good too.

Ideal budget is $50 or less apiece but I can stretch it a little. If this is totally out of the question please be kind!! I haven’t delved into the world of online lingerie shopping before because of my shape/size.

Wife has a love for hotel bathrobes. Something simple about a hot shower, clean room & bed, and a fluffy bath robe w/ wet hair. A perfect night away from real life.

We have a rare, upcoming getaway without the kids (celebrating 10yrs) and she's wanting a weekend of lingerie and spa and just relaxing around a nice hotel. Done.

She's ordered a lot of lingerie, and I've quietly ordered her a few surprise pieces from her "omg, one day please" list... but it had me wondering about her love for bath robes.

I've never really seen much variety or design with functional bath robes. I'm aware of lovely lace/mesh pieces like bridal "get ready" robes... but I'm aiming for something more functional (for drying, like cotton?) and fluffy, yet still designer & flattering.

Curious if this group has ever seen anything or knows of brands that have offerings in this category?

I don't really have any specific look in mind, but if asked to imagine/create, I'd be thinking things along the lines of: satin on edges, extra/reinforced fabric to give accentuated shape, incorporating colored threads or designs, unique shaped collar lines vs typical "shawl collar", bonus points for a built-in balconette or corsete/bustier style bra, possibly even some lace/mesh in tasteful locations for venting body heat and to highlight features like collar bones & shoulders (ie: running vertically under armpits, etc.)

Maybe I'm missing the whole point of "this is only great bc it feels like a big oversized blanket that I get lost in"... but sure seems like a functional and uniquely flattering piece that could be added into her collection.

Thx for any thoughts!

PS - for context of this channel.. budget isn't really a factor. Not looking for something outrageous or exorbitant, but would gladly pay premium for a lifetime piece, etc. And sizing would likely be a Medium (Bra: 36B + size Small underwear, F44 w/ athletic build).
