5.0 out of 5 stars So, so gorgeous!, 12 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Whether you are a fashion-lover, a lingerie afficianado, a professional costumer, a history buff or someone interested in women's social roles, Bra: A Thousand Years of Style, Support and Seduction, is for you. It is exhaustively researched, contains gorgeous historical and contemporary artwork, and is written with a keen wit. It also includes a section on things you must know about the bra, such as fitting tips, building a bra wardrobe and what kind of bra style goes with what kind of outfit. Much recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars How to understand your bra, 23 Aug 2009
This is a great little book with lots of information about the history of the bra. Anyone who's interested in the little peace of fabrik they call 'a bra' will love this book. It's funny and very informative. I would even say that this book is a must for everyone who wears a bra!
