Product Description

You Magazine/Mail on Sunday, November 1, 2004
Guaranteed to make you see your bra in a whole new light

Product Description
from the suffragettes to the Supremes, from Marilyn Monroe to Madonna, the bra has had more impact than any other item of clothing on shaping generations of women. The evolution of the bra, from the constricting corset to the liberating Wonderbra, is laid bare in nine uplifting chapters, spilling over with juicy facts, fashion highlights and archive photos of the Hollywood divas that brought the bra to the big screen and into the hearts of men worldwide This sexy, sophisticated and, above all, fun book celebrates the bra and everything it stands for - giving girls the information, inspiration and support they need to make the most of their assets!

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.
