You'll never call it "underwear" again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: A Century of Lingerie (Hardcover)
A Century of Lingerie, by Karen W. Bressler, expertly and artistically traces the history of lingerie over the past 100 years.The montage of photos and stories about the evolution of lingerie, and those responsible for it, is so elegantly presented that the reader, appropriately, will not know where to look first! Ms. Bressler captures and demonstrates the style, expression and majesty that are part of every aspect of fashion -- and life! Men and women alike will be intrigued and impressed by the variety and development of undergarments and the story of how we've come to think of underwear as much more than an extra layer! A "must-buy," A Century of Lingerie provides poignant insight into the important roles undergarments have played in our culture as the girdle has given way to the proliferation of the thong! Portraying a rare view into the bedrooms of yesteryear, the reader may have a somewhat altered view of the ancestors (s)he once thought were so innocent! Whether thumbing through the book on a rainy day or a sultry summer's eve, alone or with another, A Century of Lingerie is sure to captivate and provide hours of stimulation! Imagining yourself or that special someone in the items tastefully depicted, you'll be apt to go out and purchase something adventurous for yourself or your mate . . . . And you'll never again refer to undergarments as "underwear!" As you complete your journey through "A Century of Lingerie" and reflect on just how far panties and brassieres have progressed over the past 100 years, you'll turn that last page expectantly longing for a glimpse into the excitement that is sure to come with the lingerie of the next millennium . . .
