Shopping for plus size intimate apparel gifts can be a bit of a pain. Sure there’s plenty of pretty satin and lace lingerie and robes available in “core” sizes, but most of it doesn’t come in sizes suitable for larger figures.
Part of the problem is that the patterns don’t easily upscale after a certain point. Plus, depending on the garment, a larger body can require stronger underwires, heavier mesh, and different fabrics in order to get enough support or to stretch in different directions (depending on body shape).
The other challenge is producing garments that are proportioned correctly. A robe designed for an hourglass figure won’t fit someone who is more pear-shaped and carries weight in the hips. If you're apple-shaped, you need more fabric around the middle. And a chemise cut for someone with larger hips might pull too tight on top (and have too much material on the bottom) for a women with a larger bust and narrower hips.
Regardless of the challenges, being full figure shouldn’t mean that you should be shut out of wearing something pretty, or sexy, or elegant. And neither should your plus size friends, girlfriend, mom, or sister.
Now sometimes a gift means something sexy for a bridal shower or a holiday. Other times you want something pretty just for yourself (who says you can’t buy your own gifts?) Making yourself happy is just as important as making others happy.
Or, maybe you’re buying for a grandma, mom, or sister who likes elegant sleepwear, regardless of whether anyone else will see it or not.
And then there are the times when the right gift isn’t sexy or daring, but something comfortable and warm. Because not every occasion calls for dressing up. And sometimes the perfect evening means watching your favorite TV show or curling up with a good book, plus a glass of wine or a mug of hot cocoa.
So, this gift guide has chemises, elegant nightgowns, comfy soft robes, pajamas, and lace bras too, all sized for fuller figures. There are also plus size gowns and chemises with matching robes.
Everything is sorted by type, with notes about the sizing and fit so you can find just the perfect gift you want.
This chemise is soft, silky, and available in an entire rainbow’s worth of colors. The straps are adjustable, so it’s easier to get them the right length (some people had trouble with the clasps, you may want to sew them in place).
The bottom is roomy, so it’s ideal for women with larger hips and thighs (no need to be squashed). Comes in white, teal, blue, black, red, gold, lavender, and six other colors. Sizes 1X-3X. Scroll down on this page to see the matching robe.

Full Figure Satin Chemises
This chemise is soft, silky, and available in an entire rainbow’s worth of colors. The straps are adjustable, so it’s easier to get them the right length (some people had trouble with the clasps, you may want to sew them in place).
The bottom is roomy, so it’s ideal for women with larger hips and thighs (no need to be squashed). Comes in white, teal, blue, black, red, gold, lavender, and six other colors. Sizes 1X-3X. Scroll down on this page to see the matching robe.
Silky soft and smooth this gown feels like satin against your skin. The V-neck design is quite flattering and generously trimmed with lace (as are the sleeves).
It's cut on the bias (or a diagonal, so that the weave of the fabric is on an angle). Cutting the fabric that way is more expensive, but it results in a style that will have more give (it will naturally stretch a little) and be more flattering to your curves. It runs a bit long, so it's better if you are taller.
Comes in red, light blue, and navy in sizes 1-3X (sorry about the non-plus size image, that's all that was available).
Soft and silky and elegant, this nightgown will make you feel like a princess. The lace bodice has a flattering deep V neck and with a matching lace band around the back. The lace is stretchy and has a couple of vertical seams for a better fit.
It's got a light, flowing skirt that will swirl around as you move, or maybe just twirl around. It is somewhat sheer, so keep that in mind! If you're concerned, there's a matching robe.
Comes in sizes S-3X in ivory, navy, lavender, red, purple, black, and pink.
Super soft, and super pretty too. It's embellished with lace along the neckline and over the sleeves too. A good choice if you are bustier, or have a larger stomach, since there's no "waist" to bind you. It floats down from your shoulders and envelopes you like a soft, satiny cloud.
This will also match the Shadlowline robe further down on the page.
Comes in sizes 1-3X (despite the photo) in ivory, navy, lavender, red, purple, black, and pink
This matches the silky chemise higher up on the page. It’s got its own belt, three-quarter sleeves, and hits about mid-to-upper-thigh depending on how tall you are, and whether you carry your weight behind you. The sleeves are wide and roomy enough to accommodate larger arms.
Comes in 1X/2X and 3X/4X and in fourteen colors.
Soft, feminine, and drapes beautifully around your body. This robe matches the nightgown higher up on the page. Adding the robe gives you a bit more coverage and also makes a gorgeous set. Because why not match?
Comes in sizes S-3X in ivory, navy, lavender, red, purple, black, and pink.
Made entirely of comfy, 100% cotton, this robe is lightweight, but not at all sheer. Wear it over PJs or after your morning shower. It also washes beautifully.
There are two pockets (yes!) and the belt is stitched on so it won’t slide off or get separated in the wash.
There's plenty of room for wider hips, even if your hips are 10 inches larger than your bust. If you have a long torso, the belt may be a little high, so it's best if your torso is average length or short.
Comes in eggplant, black, red, and taupe in sizes 1X-3X.
Like prints? This robe comes in lots of them. And, it has a special zipper that opens all the way, so you don’t have to step into the robe (or try to pull it over your head!). There’s a bit of stretch in the material so you can move around easily. Comes about mid-calf on an average height woman.
Comes in pink patchwork, rose medallion, yellow botanical, blue patchwork, pink botanical, and turquoise/white floral. Sizes 1X and 2X.

This cozy, soft plush terry cloth robe comes in a rainbow of colors. It has two big pockets so you can keep your hands warm or keep your keys or phone handy if you need to.
It does run big, and it's ankle length on an average height person, so keep that in mind. Comes in burgundy, navy, ocean, royal blue, gray, leopard, and several other colors. Sizes XS-5/6X.
A simple, classic style, accented with piping on the collar and pocket. Short sleeves are great for warmer weather. The lightweight material is machine washable and dryable, so you don't have to bother hand washing. It's also soft, comfortable, and a bit stretchy (so you can move easily).
Sizes XS-6X in 18 different colors, including coral, red, forest green, beige, black, and pale pink.

I don't know about you, but I find it endlessly annoying that lots of women's nightwear seems to be upsized kids wear (with pastels, little duckies, ice cream cones, etc.)
These pjs are different. They have cats! Or tropical plants. Or macaws or lots of other fun prints that aren’t the usual ordinary tiny flowers or butterflies (unless you want butterflies). Lots of different prints in sizes S-3X.
