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!
