I have discovered another new plus-size lingerie source, called Secrets in Lace. Remember my search for a Joan Harris, vintage-inspired bust? I have dug up an exceptional longline bra (Nicole Longline) and a fabulous Allure Garter Belt, shown. Now we're talking!
My next step in this lingerie-hunting journey is to find bullet bras and cone bras for extended sizes, which I suspect will be three times as hard as snapping up these pieces. I've noticed that the vintage-inspired bra companies like to size down according to old-fashioned measurements, which means that your usual size will be too small, and you'll need to size up to get the right fit. At least it will be an adventure.

Big Girl’s Browse had a great list of resources, in the UK and US. I’ve not ordered anything, but there”s http://www.whatkatiedid.us.com
Ah, tiny sizes there…keep looking!
I love that website, Karen! I wear a 38-40 DD, but they specialize in “vintage sizing.” That means anything will be way too small. I am a size 18-20 in vintage pieces, and normally I wear a 14/16. Bras are the same way! Too bad. You and I have similar taste.
