From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lingerie label Cosabella is one of the first brands to drop the "plus" in its bigger-sized styles – instead it has dubbed its new range "Extended".
The family-owned Italian brand seems to have a big following for its sexy lingerie, which nails both fit and comfort – so in order to reach every woman’s intimate wardrobe, regardless of their size and shape; it has now expanded its range to include a wider range of sizes.
Called Extended, the new line features some of the best-selling styles in cup sizes 32-36 D, DD-G and 38 D, DD-F, as well knickers in sizes 12/14, 16/18, 20/22. It includes bigger cuts and styles of bralettes, thongs and boy shorts in lace, satin and cotton.
While many other underwear brands stock an even wider range of sizes, such as Bravissimo, Elomi, Boux Avenue and Simply Be; Cosabella makes an effort to change the world’s views towards bigger sizes.
To promote the new offering and celebrate a wider array of body types even further, the underwear label has launched a campaign with plus-size model Emily Nolan, who runs a non-profit organisation that promotes self-confidence and body-empowerment called Topless.
The company's CEO, Guido Campello, said: "High customer demands to extend the sizing of our best-selling collections lead to the creation of Cosabella Extended. We took the time and effort to design a product that will meet the needs of our customers."
The line is currently available online and from June, profit will go to Topless organisation. cosabellla.com
