Lingerie
You'll find Nightgowns, sleep shirts, etc at All catalogues, but Redcats Group prices are usually best, especially if you have the time and patience to shop clearances.
BCO outlet is the clearance center for all of the Redcats stores (Woman Within. Roamans, Jessica London, Avenue, plus Ulla Popken) and here you ca find deep discounts, sometimes even a polyester (very silky charmeuse) sexy nightgown for little as $16.
I've shopped LOTS of lingerie specialty sites, but these are the ones that I can recommend.

Lady Grace.com has the best assortment of body smoothers, shapers and cast iron girdles I’ve found so far. Even better, they have a variety of parts, so, while ladies with average torso lengths can buy an all in one-piece “shaper” (including bra, midriff/back whittler and girdle) the petites and long torso gals can buy the pieces separately, for a custom fit.
Some pieces are practical (literally squeezing you into a lump-free hourglass figure. Uncomfortable after a while, but looking like the diet worked better than it really did. They compress your skin to get rid of creases, rolls and bounce.
Others are just to cover your skin so your clothes don’t stick when you get hot and sweaty dancing. READ the descriptions, but be prepared to be misled, because cast iron girdle makers describe their products as silky shapers, while silky shapers promise to get rid of bulges. As always, expect to send things back for other styles and sizes.
UK vs European vs US cup sizes.
Don't be shy about searching around the world. The best selection I ever found was at Bravissimo's store in Milton Keynes, England. Tons of Gorgeous Bras!

Remember to check the size comparisons (UK & European vs USA) my J- cup is anr H in England.

READ the consumer reviews!
On the reviews, women who like the bra will tell you if and where bra you're considering tends to run large or small. I’ve often be advised to buy an extra band or cup size up or down.
In Goddess sizes, on my beloved Kiera style, I have to order 3 cup sizes up to get a good fit.
Like other clothes sizes, bra sizes claim to be standard and AREN’T. In the reviews previous buyers tell you whether you need to buy a cup or band size up or down. Also, hope for good tips on comfort and durability.

ONLINE BRA STORES
Bravissimo.com UK MANY gorgeous, sexy, practical, sturdy bras up to N cup size. We're talking lace, lots of colors, multi-colored bras, evenup to N cups! No orthopedic bras here! They're MORE supportive than my old orthopedic bras, but (assuming that they fit) they're comfortable and the kind of bras you only expect to find up to a D cup!
Even better, when you shop, they give you a chart that shows all of the sizes they have available in that style and color, so you can see at a glance whether you could get a size larger or smaller. This is a real time saver.

Figleaves.com carry Panache bras I found a 20% off sale! Nice styles and good brands.
Lady Grace.com isn't as good for bras as for shape wear. They have too many orthopedic looking bras with multiple layers of plastic foam and fabric that don't let air near your skin. Not only that. but these grandma-looking bras don't support my large breasts as well as the flimsy-looking lace bra styles at Bravissimo!
Still, as I said before, this is the best site I've found for shapewear.

HerRoom.com Almost as good as Bravissimo, but not as many bras combining sexy & sturdy.
Obviously, I haven't found many good to great online sites, but there isn't even one brick and mortar store in the San Francisco Bay Area where I can walk in and find a selection of truly wonderful, practical, comfortable bras. My online search had years of "better than the last one, but it still hurts" bras.
I found out last year that my sister, who is exactly my size, was still wearing a 44 DDD, which her department store fitter assured her was "perfect. Well, the red welts below her breasts said something else. She deserved better. And so do you!
Be Beautiful!

I hope it really, once you find one
