In Intimate Detail: How to Choose, Wear, and Love Lingerie

When someone hears the word “lingerie,” I’m sure the first thing to pop into their mind is something skimpy and not a whole lot of material. Within the pages of In Intimate Detail by Cora Harrington, we learn that lingerie can cover a whole department of clothing for women. Instead of simply “skimpy clothing,” we should remember that lingerie includes anything that has to do with being underneath a woman’s clothing; i.e. a slip, bra, brassiere, panties, corset, etc.

The topic of lingerie should not be taboo among women, but one that should be spoken of freely so they can feel the best about their bodies at all times. Understanding the right type of lingerie that will fit your body shape can make all the difference in your self-confidence, as well as how well your clothes fit and look!

Throughout the book, Harrington displays the research, includes illustrations and diagrams, and tells of the correct way to go about shopping, caring for, and storing your bras, shapewear, underwear, hosiery, and loungewear. Included in the appendix are special bra-fitting and underwear tips, as well as sample wardrobes to make our lives as women that much simpler.
