A few weeks ago a representative from Lane Bryant contacted me to see if I would be interested in checking out some of the store’s fashion lines for Valentine’s Day. The theme this year is guilty pleasures, but I felt absolutely no guilt over indulging myself in a few pleasures, especially since one thing I have been in desperate need of since losing weight is bras! So last Friday morning I stopped in at a Lane Bryant store that just happened to be down the road from the center where I had a post-op checkup with the surgeon who performed my gastric bypass surgery. I made an immediate beeline for the Valentine’s Collection. Given the hot pink, red and black colors that dominated the area, it wasn’t hard to find.
I had my heart set on the rosette corset, and was thrilled to find it available in sizes up to 26/28. I was even more thrilled to discover that I only needed a size 22/24, and that matching panties were available! I also picked out four bras to try out, and came home with two (size 42DD; yay! Bigger breasted ladies will be happy to know that even the sexiest bras are available up to a size 44DDD!) — the kiss cotton plunge bra and the jacquard classic plunge bra.
I love the bras. They fit nicely, and wow, my breasts look SO good in them. Talk about lift and definition! And the corset? Amazing. So amazing, in fact, that I didn’t get the opportunity to save it for Valentine’s Day. When I got home with my bag of goodies I tried on the corset and panties, called my husband in to check them out, and wound up getting pounced right then and there. Rawr.
What I love about Lane Bryant is that ultra-sexy styles are available in all plus sizes, so no one is left out. While I was in the store I was offered a bra fitting, and the nice girl that rang up my purchases slipped in a coupon, no questions asked.
She also gave me a coupon that I can use during the beginning of February, and I definitely plan on heading back to stock up on some more bras and maybe a few pairs of panties!
Psst… now’s the time to stock up on winter fashions for next year! Everything from this winter and last fall has been marked down 50% or more, and depending on the store you may be able to find additional reductions taken on those markdowns!



Wow, those sound great. Unfortunately, our Lane Bryant location things “all plus sizes” only needs to go up to 22/24, so if you’re 26/28 or 30/32, you’re out of luck.
