Popular Lingerie Brands

Goddess

The Goddess bra company is now owned Eveden Inc. who are also the manufacturer of Rigby & Peller, Fantasie, based in the UK, and Freya. The company was started in 1945 by Helen Jacobson when she had a frustrating shopping experience trying to find lingerie to fit her fuller figure.

This is now one of the most popular brands for fuller figured or plus size underwear and lingerie.

If you’re looking for a supportive (or encapsulating) bra, Goddess is a top choice.

Warner

Warner are over 100 years old – having bought the patent for a backless brassiere as long ago as 1914! (when they were known as the Warner Brothers Corset Company). In the 30’s they produced the first all-elastic bra, designed to show off a woman’s shapely curves. It was Warners who, in 1935, created the cup sizing system that is still used today.

Although this is a popular brand, if you’re after a particular design that you’ve seen online it’d be worth ‘phoning the store to check that they’ve got that style and size in store before visiting in person.


Olga

This company was found in the 50’s by Olga Erteszek and is now a division of the Warnaco Group.

Olga lingerie and underwear is well known for its plus sized bra range yet they also make regular & petite sized bras, panties and underwear.



Felina

Felina offer some pretty lace lingerie in feminine designs. Styles from push up & demi bras, half cup & seamless bras which look sexy yet are comfortable and supportive.


Bali

Bali offer intimate apparel, tops, panties and what they term “shapewear” – a range of camis or all-in-ones to help give control of problem areas such as your tummy, boobs or thighs.As well as being available at their stores, you can buy the Bali brand through companies such as Bigger Bras, Lingerie Direct and The Pretty Woman.


Maidenform

Maidenform played a major role in the history of bras when in 1928 seamstress Ida Rosenthal and her husband went into business as Maidenform. They started making undergarments that accentuated a woman’s curves, rather than going with the fashions of the day that emphasised them being flat-chested.
Maidenform today operates in both the US and the UK offering bras, pants, underwear and shapewear for the fuller figure as well as baby dolls for those special occasions.
