Wholesale Curve Lingerie: A Buying Guide for Boutique and Online Retailers
Share
Wholesale curve lingerie gives boutique and online retailers a way to stock extended sizing, from 1X through 3X and Queen fits, without guessing at cut, price, or minimum order size. Be Wicked Inc. carries curve and plus size lingerie, bodystockings, and sleepwear inside its main wholesale catalog, priced from 8.50 to 13.50 dollars per piece for approved accounts. Retailers of all sizes, from single boutique storefronts to established online sellers, can browse the collection, then open a wholesale account to see full pricing and place an order.
Why Curve And Plus Size Wholesale Matters For Boutique Buyers
The global plus size clothing market reached 311.4 billion dollars in 2023 and is projected to grow to 412.4 billion dollars by 2030, according to Grand View Research. Women's plus size apparel held just over half of that market on its own, and demand is climbing across price points rather than only in premium lines.
Mainstream retailers are already acting on that demand. When Anthropologie expanded into plus sizes, the brand pointed to shoppers across all sizes representing 46.4 billion dollars in annual apparel spending, according to Retail Dive. Anthropologie chose to sell its plus range alongside standard sizes rather than in a separate section, a model boutique buyers can apply directly to how curve lingerie gets merchandised in store and online.
For boutique buyers specifically, adding curve lingerie means fewer wasted markdowns and fewer walk out shoppers. A style that only exists in standard sizing turns away a real share of walk in and online shoppers before they ever try it on, while a style built with 1X through 3X or Queen sizing from the start gives a boutique one more chance to close that sale without a special order or a referral to a competitor.
Sizing And Fit Considerations For Curve Lingerie Buyers
Plus size apparel sizing follows established industry references rather than a scaled up straight size pattern. ASTM International publishes ASTM D6960, a standard table of body measurements for the plus women's figure type across sizes 14W to 40W, and many suppliers size curve styles against ranges like this one instead of stretching a standard pattern.
Be Wicked's curve catalog uses two sizing approaches depending on the style. Extended lingerie and lounge pieces run 1X through 3X, while many bodystockings and catsuits use a one size Queen fit built for a fuller figure rather than a scaled up standard one size. Buyers should check each product listing for its specific size run before ordering, since the two systems are not interchangeable on the sales floor.
Queen sizing and 1X through 3X sizing are not always the same measurement on a garment tag, which is another reason to read each listing rather than assume. A Queen bodystocking is built with extra stretch through the torso and legs to fit a fuller figure inside one flexible cut, while a 1X through 3X lingerie piece is graded up from a base pattern with separate measurements at each size break. Both approaches work well, but they fit differently enough that a retailer stocking both should keep the distinction straight in product descriptions and fitting guidance.
What Sizes Does Wholesale Curve Lingerie Include?
Wholesale curve lingerie orders typically span extended sizing from 1X through 3X and one size Queen fits, covering the plus size range that ASTM D6960 defines as 14W to 40W. Be Wicked stocks curve and plus size lingerie, bodystockings, and sleepwear in these ranges alongside its standard size run for boutique and online retailers.
Curve Lingerie Styles To Stock Now
Four styles from the curve lingerie collection show the range boutique buyers can pull from today. Each one is live in the wholesale catalog with real inventory, so the pricing and sizing below reflect what is available to order now. The lace pieces work as everyday intimates while the bodystocking and pajama set stretch into sleepwear and going out categories, so a single curve lingerie order can cover more than one merchandising category at once.
- 2247P Lynn Chemise, 13.50 dollars per piece, sizes 1X through 3X in Black and Red, a lace chemise with long sleeves and a front criss cross detail.
- 2248P Marina Bodysuit, 13.50 dollars per piece, sizes 1X through 3X in Black and Dark Magenta, an off shoulder floral lace bodysuit with long sleeves.
- 2152 Ring My Bell Bodystocking, 9.00 dollars per piece, one size and Queen fits in Black, Neon Green, and Purple, a cropped high waist fishnet bodystocking.
- 2027 Riley Two Piece PJ Set, 12.50 dollars per piece, sizes small through 3X in Grey, a collared pajama top and short set.
The Riley set is worth calling out on its own. It runs from small through 3X in one style and color, which lets a retailer stock a single design across a full size range instead of treating plus sizing as a separate line to source and merchandise on its own.
Buyers who want current stock levels before ordering can check each product page directly, since Be Wicked's curve lingerie inventory turns over as new colors and styles are added throughout the year. Checking stock at the SKU level, rather than assuming a full curve size run is always available, avoids placing an order for a color that has already sold through.
Ordering Wholesale Curve Lingerie: Standard, Private Label, And Dropship Options
Approved buyers order curve lingerie through Be Wicked's main wholesale account, the same account used for the rest of the catalog. Minimum order requirements for standard wholesale purchasing vary by product category and are confirmed once an account is approved. Full details on how the wholesale program works live on the wholesale lingerie page.
Retailers who want curve lingerie under their own label can use Be Wicked's private label program instead. Lingerie orders require a minimum of 1,200 pieces per style and color, and bodystocking orders require the same 1,200 piece minimum across at least 4 styles. Full minimums and how private label compares to standard wholesale ordering are on the private label page.
Sellers who do not want to hold curve lingerie inventory upfront can dropship instead. Approved dropship accounts list Be Wicked's curve and plus size styles on their own store without buying stock in advance, and each order ships directly to the customer. Program details are on the drop shipping page.
Every approved account, whether it orders standard wholesale, dropship, or private label, must also follow Be Wicked's IMAP policy, which sets the lowest price a reseller can advertise a product for. This keeps advertised pricing consistent for every retailer carrying the same curve lingerie style, whether that retailer runs a single boutique or a larger online storefront.
