Flattering Valentine's Day Lingerie for Every Body Type from Small Bust to Full Figure

Timpa Women's Alice Lace Underwire Demi Bra, 16449, Chinese Red, 32A
Valentine's Day is nearly here.  As usual, there are plenty of places advertising red and black Valentine's Day lingerie galore.  Red bras! Black nighties! Sheer teddies! Except it's not that simple.  Just because it's the "right" color,  doesn't mean it fits your particular body type or shape or size. 

The prettiest skimpy red lace bra does no good if you're full figure.  Likewise, a black teddy won't do any good if the bust is much bigger than you are.

If you're small busted, you have to wade through stacks of bras that are too big.  On the other hand, full figured women are (as usual) often stuck with beige (and maybe plain black). Beige is OK for everyday, but it won't get anyone's heart pumping. And c'mon it's Valentine's Day, you want something more fun than beige. You also want something that gives you the support and lift you need while still looking good (and making you feel good too).

Regardless of whether you are full busted, small busted, or full figured there are flattering options that will actually fit you.

This post aims to make it much easier to find flattering Valentine's Day lingerie, no matter what your body type.  I've rounded up the prettiest, sexiest bras I could find and organized them by figure type. So, all you have to do is scroll down to find the options that fit you!


Sexy Valentine's Day Bras for Small Busts


Timpa Women's Alice Lace Underwire Demi Bra, 16449, Chinese Red, 32A

This sheer crochet lace bra gives plenty of oomph, without padding or "chicken cutlets." There's nothing there but you. The bra is cut low and scalloped on the edges to give you the best decolletage possible.  The cups are a stretchy material to give you a better fit, especially good if you're a bit uneven.

The cups are a bit shallow, so go up a size if you've got a fuller shape.  The good news is that means that if you're an AA, this bra will fit you.

Note that the bands are also running on the small side, so go up a band size if you are in-between sizes or want more comfort.

US sizes 32, 34, 36, 38 A, B, and C in white, pink, beige, burgundy, beige, chocolate, nectarine, caribbean blue, bright pink, buttercup, bright blue, navy, pool green, black, and lilac.



Maidenform Comfort Devotion Your Lift Push-Up Bra 36B, Red Stone Rose

A plunging neckline, demi cups, and embellished lace cups add up to a knockout bra. And, you have a choice of matching or contrasting lace (for more impact), depending on the color you choose. It's even made of soft material, so it's comfortable as well as good looking.

Inset straps with a leotard back are great for shorter women (they won't slide off your shoulders). Plus, it's convertible, so you can wear the straps crossed if you like.

Comes in lots of colors: black/blush, blush, shell, navy/black, ombre print, deeb burgundy, white, red/pink, lilac, two-toned lilac, and pale blue.  Sizes 32, 34, 36A-DD and 38B-DD.  I realize that DD is not small bust, but Maidenform runs small, so it's best for smaller sizes.


Flattering Valentine's Day Bras for Average Figures


Natori Women's Flora Contour Underwire Bra, Burnt Red/Dawn, 36DD

If you like the Natori Feathers (which is one of their best sellers), this bra is even better.  Both practical and pretty, the cups are partly sheer mesh and partly overlaid with lace for a sexier look.

And, it comes in more sizes than the Feathers bra does, going up to a G cup in most band sizes (I realize that G cup is nobody's idea of "average" figure, but Natori's sizing is smaller than usual).

The plunge front is great for low cut tops. It's got a wider center, so it's more comfortable if you are wide-set.

Another choice with lots of color options: beige, pale pink, coral, bright pink, red, aqua, gray, blue, blush, purple, raspberry, and black. US sizes 30-34 B-G, 36B-DDD.



b.tempt'd Women's Ciao Bella Balconette Bra

Comfortable, and sexy at the same time. This bra is lightweight, with thin straps that won't peek out under clothing. They're thin, but they stay in place, even if you're active.

The cups are overlaid with lace with a contrasting lining.  It looks dainty, but there's lots of support hiding under all that lace. Boning on the sides helps stop underarm bulges and pushes your tissue forward for a sexier shape.


If you'd rather not have the traditional red or black, there are lots of other options. You can get this in lots of colors: red/black, white, vanilla, cappuccino, coral, rose pink, bright pink, pale pink, smoky blue, navy, lilac, orchid, and black. Runs a bit smaller than its sister brand (Wacoal), so keep that in mind.

US sizes 30C-DDD, 32-36B-DDD, and 38B-DD. This one also goes a bit into fuller figure sizes.



Calvin Klein Women's Seductive Comfort Unlined Lace Bra, Intoxicate, 32B

Lightweight and so comfortable you may forget you're wearing it. The lace is super soft and doesn't itch.

The red lace will get plenty of attention, without making you feel bulky or uncomfortable (there's no padding). It is sheer lace,  but there is a mesh lining, so it's not super see-through.


Comes in red, black, white, beige, pale pink, and ivory in US sizes 32B-40DDD.

Full Bust Valentine's Day Bras



Gossard Women's Glossies Sheer Moulded Bra, Black (Black), 38FF

No lace, no bows, just super sheer, lightweight glamour.  There's no band, so it's a good option if you are shorter or have a larger stomach.  The center is wide, and plunges, so it's perfect for low necklines.

Smaller cup sizes (below DD) have a convertible back. DD and up gets a leotard back (to prevent the straps from slipping).

Available in black, white, beige and more colors at different links. UK sizes 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 B, C, D, DD, E, FF, and G.



Curvy Kate Women's Lifestyle Plunge Bra, Black, 38G

Want something sexy in a larger size? Here you go. This bra is completely sheer mesh. That includes the cups, the back, and the band too.  Seamed cups give you great lift and secret support and a natural-looking, rounded shape.

The neckline is low, so it's perfect for date-night low cut tops.  There's no band and the center is arched, which makes it more comfortable if you're short.

Comes in beige, red, black, lilac, blue, and black in UK sizes 30-40 D-J. Take note that the cups are running small, so order a size up from your usual size to get the right fit.

Simone Perele Women's Delice Demi Cup, Garnet, 30D

This is just absolutely stunning.  Sheer cups make it sexy; scrolling embroidery, a scalloped edge, and rosettes on the straps make it beautiful.

That beauty is deceptive though. Under all that glamour lies a supportive, comfortable bra. The vertical seams give you great lift, and the demi cups create a lovely decollatage that perfectly frames your bust.

White, rose, beige, blush, garnet, powder blue, turquoise, purple, and black in EU sizes 30D-F, 32-36B-F, 38B -D.

Full Figure Valentine's Day Bras



Elomi Women's Plus Size Matilda Unlined Plunge Underwire Bra with J-Hook, Chili, 44E

Want some va va voom? This bra has sheer mesh on the tops of the cups, dotted with stylish little embroidery (and no itchy lace).  It's got great support too (those multi-part cups keep everything up and at attention).

Panels on the sides, and tall mesh and on the sides and back minimize bulges and help push you forward. There's a deep plunge front too (without any padding). And, you can wear it either standard or racerback.

So, you'll look great and feel great too.

Comes in black, gray, crimson, rose, black/purple, hot pink, and stormy gray in UK sizes 32GG-JJ, 34G-JJ, 36-40DD-JJ, 44DD-G, and 46DD.


Lunaire Women's Whimsy Barbados Lace Demi Bra, 15211, Black w/Animal Print, 40DD

Bigger doesn't have to mean boring.  Lots of lace in front and back make this bra a standout. It's got support too, from slings on the side, multi-part seamed cups (for lift and shaping), and darts too. All of that gives you a great look, without spilling. 

There's a light mesh lining, to reduce show-through, so it's not super-sheer. But, since there's no padding, it's also relatively lightweight and comfortable, while still looking good. The pattern on the leopard style even goes up the straps.


No red, but the leopard print is kind of fun. Also comes in black, beige, beige animal print, mint, red, and pink.

US sizes 32, 34, 38, 40 C-G; 42, 44, 46, 48 C-DDD.
