Plus Size Open & Crotchless Teddies

Plus Size Open & Crotchless Teddies buying guide

This page lists every plus-size open-cup, open-crotch and cut-out teddy we stock, from lace-trimmed strappy cages to crotchless mesh and wet-look styles. The products above are the whole range. The sections below cover how to choose one that frames rather than squeezes, written from the questions customers ask us most.

Sizing and fit

Plus sizes are labelled three ways in this range: Queen or 1X/2X, XL/2XL, and 3X/4X. They are not interchangeable between makers, so measure your bust at the fullest point, your natural waist and your hips at the widest point, and match all three against the chart on the product rather than the letter on the label.

A teddy runs from shoulder to crotch, so torso length matters as much as width. If you are long in the body, or between sizes, go up: a teddy that is too short pulls at the shoulders and cuts in at the crotch however well it fits at the bust. Open and strappy styles show every strap, so check that the elastic sits on the body without biting in.

Materials and what they demand

Most of these teddies are built from narrow elastic straps joined by lace or mesh panels. Wide, soft elastic lies flat on a fuller figure; thin elastic rolls and leaves marks. Stretch lace and power mesh give where the body moves. Wet-look and vinyl open styles are firmer and need an accurate size because they stretch less.

Open-crotch styles have no snap, so there is nothing to adjust once the piece is on. That makes torso length the measurement that decides the fit.

Care that preserves it

Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, press the water out in a towel rather than wringing, and dry flat or over a rail away from direct heat. Fasten every hook before washing so it cannot snag, and never tumble dry: heat is what kills elastic.

Untangle the straps before washing and lay the teddy flat to dry so the elastic keeps its shape.

Frequently asked questions about plus size open and crotchless teddies

What is the difference between open and crotchless? Open usually means open cups or large cut-outs at the front; crotchless means the crotch is left open. Many pieces here are both, and the product description says which.

Can I wear an open-crotch teddy for a long evening? Yes, if the size is right. Without a snap there is nothing to come undone, so the fit has to be right at the torso.

Do these come with panties? Some sets include a matching G-string. The product description lists exactly what is in the box.

Will the straps leave marks? Not if you choose by your real measurements. Marks are almost always a sign the piece is a size too small.

Common mistakes when buying plus size open and crotchless teddies

Sizing down for a tighter look. Strappy pieces that are too small cut in and roll at the edges.

Ignoring torso length. An open-crotch teddy has no snap to let out.
