Lingerie

A Guide to the Pieces, Shapes, Fabrics, and Details of an Intimate Wardrobe

This is not a catalogue of things to buy. It is a guide to understanding them. Begin at the beginning, or go directly to the subject you want to read.

The Book explains garments without making the body the problem. Names vary between makers; actual construction and purpose remain the most useful starting points.
