Plus Size (boudoir, shapewear, and general struggles)

Hi everyone!

Feeling a little weird today, looking for some advice and wanting to share some of my recent intimate photos! I'm a very self-conscious bride. Since college, I've gained a good bit and with trying to juggle two jobs with my sanity, I haven't had time to work out. Hopefully I'll get some last-minute energy and be able to get rid of some chub before the wedding. How are you keeping your confidence up?

1. Shapewear - I've been searching everywhere for something with backless or low back shapewear, preferably something with straps. I found TC brand backless/strapless, but it's $100 (dang!). I want to weight my options before I splurge. Does anyone have any suggestions? Here are some pics of the back of my dress:

2. Intimates! I have to share some of the modest photos I got back from my recent intimates shoot. I can't share them with FH (they're a wedding gift), so I thought - why not share some here! I was really nervous for this. I'm a street size 12/14 and have been feeling self conscious about myself recently. But when I got these photos back, I was really surprised with how confident I felt! If you are considering these, I highly recommend doing them! I got my hair and makeup done by my wedding H&MUA. Even though it's not the same that I'll be doing for the wedding, it gave me a good idea of what to expect from the artist. I'll be doing an actual trial closer to the wedding. Just remember, your photographer is a professional and will make you feel confident, sexy, and beautiful!

    Thanks so much for posting this! I'm in a similar situation and have a boudoir shoot scheduled for a little later in the year, which has me nervous but seeing your experience is very helpful. And you look amazing!!

    This reply killed me lol. Totally something I would have said.

    That being said you look look stunning in all these pictures! And genuinely happy/not self conscious which I love. I’m sure your FS will love these.

    I’m also trying to figure out shapewear as I normally loathe the stuff. I still have 20 lbs of baby weight to lose and another 40 to get back to my college weight so I need a little help lol. I’ve been eyeing some of Torrid’s shapewear but idk. My dress that I’ll be getting has a little lower back line but not too steep. I’ve heard good things about Lane Bryant as well? Sadly the pics of your dress aren’t loading for me on mobile. ☹️

    I think there is an issue with the pics you posted of your dress. I'm on desktop and I can't see them either.

    Smiley laugh Thank you!!! I posted a new comment with the photos of my dress. Hopefully those load!


    I'll have to check out Lane Bryant! I never thought of that Smiley smile I freaking hate shapewear. The top always rolls down on my stomach, the underwear part digs into my thighs. The bra part always moves. It's uncomfortable. I'm hoping to find more of a body suit that has straps to keep everything up.
