17 Plus Size Boudoir Outfits: Sexy, Fun & Flattering
Boudoir shoots are all the rage these days, and why wouldn’t they be?
Not only are they a fun way to celebrate your body, but the end result can be a sexy gift for a special someone.
But whether you’re doing one yourself or you’ve hired a professional, you’re probably starting to think about clothing options.
These 17 plus size boudoir outfits will make you look and feel like the sexy queen you are:
Best plus size boudoir outfits
1. Brilliant babydoll
If I’m being honest, a simple babydoll is my favorite piece.
It’s a classic enough lingerie style piece that it fits boudoir, but it’s not too out there that you’re trying to do a BDSM-style shoot (not that I don’t love that idea too!).
Babydolls come in all shapes and sizes, but the empire waist with a slight v-neck and a flowing net-like pattern is a classic.
2. Oversized shirt
Sexy doesn’t have to mean less clothes, sometimes simple is easy and cute.
You can go with an oversized shirt-style lingerie piece.
This shirt has a very basic look, but has a sexy back-open so there’s a surprise.
It’s fun to take the simple and make it sexy.
3. Slip on something classy
If you want to put together a real classy look, I like something that has a slip-like sex appeal to it.
Shein has a few cute choices for you, but this eyelash sleep dress is sexy and luxurious.
I think the deep side slit gives you an edgy look, but the silky smooth material provides a very elegant look.
It implies a certain amount of grace, and it’s generally gorgeous.
4. Rock a bodysuit
If you want a bodysuit that’ll pull double-duty, I like this one by Shapellx.
It’s sexy enough to be lingerie, but the shaping features will definitely help you pull together the right look.
It has cute lace edges and a nice middle section shaping.
Not to mention, your boobs will look great!
Need more? We love a good lingerie teddy!
5. Get busty in a corset
A corset can help you get a real busty look to it.
If you’re like me and you don’t have a nice set of boobs, then a corset can help give you a little more bust where you want it.
Not to mention, they have a real sexy look to them that’s perfect for a boudoir shoot.
Especially if you pair them with a sexy knee-high.
6. Add some edge
You can add some real edge to your photoshoot to make it real sexy.
There are some serious glam BDSM-inspired boudoir photoshoots that you can find for inspiration out there.
The best part is, edgy doesn’t have to mean a full-on dominatrix get-up, a simple sexy harness can do the trick.
Of course, you can go full-on catsuit.
7. Vintage va-voom
There’s nothing sexier than a real vintage shot, and this 1960s style lingerie cape can help you capture that.
You can pair it with a vintage-style romper or even a corset. Or you can throw it with something more simple like your favorite lacey underwear set.
I like that it has a real vintage flare to it, but it isn’t overly obvious.
It’s something that you can use for your DIY boudoir photoshoot, but you can also pack it for your next date night.
8. Glitzy glam
A little bit of glam goes a long way.
If you’re looking to do your end photos in black and white or sepia, I’d recommend this sequin number.
You can go with just the bodysuit or add the shorts too. Either way, the sequin will make your body pop in the photo.
If you’re looking for real vintage glam but don’t want to go full-on ’60s robe, this is for you.
It works well with pin-straight or curly hair, bold red lipstick or the darkest black!

9. Have fun with a high waist
High waisted panties look good on curved bodies.
They’re not the only underwear that does, but I find if you’re taking photos it helps smooth out the edges where it counts.
If you don’t have the budget to buy a full-on outfit but happen to have a pair of cute high-waisted undies in your wardrobe, you can totally turn that into a photoshoot look.
10. Titillating tights
You can do a lot with a pair of tights.
I like a set like these crotchless white ones from Shein – not because they don’t have a crotch (though, come on…).
But because you can throw them over other lingerie and they look like they’re supposed to be that way.
Adding these to your boudoir outfit means you can do a quick change without a ton of effort.
11. Get in costume
Costumes can make a boudoir shoot a ton of fun, especially if the end product is for a special someone.
School girl, French maid, reindeer – there are a ton of choices when it comes to dressing up fun and sexy.
Shein has a ton of inexpensive costumes so you can even plan a wardrobe change in the middle of your photo session.
12. Keep it casual
Sometimes the best boudoir outfit is the one that you don’t put any effort into at all.
You don’t need the glitz and the glam to make something sexy. More often than not, casual does the trick.
I love a set of calm, casual Calvin Kleins.
You can do A LOT of sexy with a simple set like this.
If you don’t have the budget for full on Calvin Kleins, Shein has a knock-off set that will work perfectly.
It’s not what you wear, but the confidence you wear it with.

13. Cover those knees
Sometimes less is more, and that’s where a pair of sexy knee-highs come in.
You can wear these alone, but for a boudoir shoot you’ll probably want to pair them with something else.
What I love about these is that so long as you have the right color, you can air them with any boudoir outfit.
Thrown on a pair of heels, some high waisted undies and a cute bralette and you have yourself a simple yet sexy outfit.
14. Let it lace
If you want a truly simple, sexy look, I recommend a lace bodysuit.
You can’t go wrong with a bright sunshine yellow (my favorite), and this one by Ashley Stewart is gorgeous.
Sexy bodysuits are fun because they’re simple enough that you can use them for any boudoir set.
They’re also versatile enough that you can use them for a few different looks during your shoot.
Add a pair of cozy slippers for a shot by the fire or throw a robe over for something more elegant.

15. Fit for flatter
Don’t be afraid to pick something with a tight fit for your boudoir shoot.
A sexy lace chemise dress is a flattering pick, especially for those of us who rock a pear or hourglass body shape.
Unless you’re purposefully going for oversized, I’d recommend aiming for tight instead.
You’ll fee a lot sexier, and I bet you’ll get much more flattering angles.
Plus you can wear panties underneath, or you can go with nothing.
16. Say ‘yes’ to satin
Satin is slippery, slidey, and sexy.
If you want to feel glam during your boudoir shoot, I highly recommend a gorgeous romper by Hips & Curves.
Everyone knows I’m a sucker for a one-piece, and lingerie is no exception.
But there’s something that’s super sexy about a single suit.
You don’t have to worry about awkward shirt lifts or the shorts falling down too far.
It’s the perfect all-in-one plus size boudoir outfit.
17. Racy robe
A robe can be a real racy element in a boudoir photoshoot.
It’s something you can add as an extra element, or take off for a little extra sex appeal.
I like something elegant like this one by Ashley Stewart that will add glam to any outfit.
Something that’s a simple, black lace will work wonders. And it’s the perfect addition to your overnight bag.

Plus size boudoir outfits FAQ
How do I prepare my body for a boudoir photo shoot?
Clean, moisturize and make-up (if you want). Preparing for a boudoir shoot depends on whether or not you’re doing your own shoot or you’re working with a photographer. If you have someone taking your photos, double check what they recommend. If you’re doing it yourself, take a shower, moisturize your skin, and do your hair and makeup the way you want.
Is it OK to post boudoir photos on Instagram?
Instagram’s kind of touch-and-go when it comes to boudoir photos. While many get posted, others get flagged. Make sure you’ve fully read and understand their Terms of Service to ensure you’re not violating them with your images.
What color nails should you do for a boudoir shoot?
Hands and feet end up in a lot of boudoir shots (though not all), so you’ll probably want to make sure they’re done up nicely. A neutral color like a light pink can make for a nice accent without drawing focus away.
