I really enjoyed this. It's quick and light with just the right amount of detail to make each point and explain each topic in a clear and memorable way. I can tell this will be a great reference as well.

I don't wear lingerie (in fact, I hate it due to sensory issues), but I wanted to learn more about it from someone who enjoys it. I ended up skimming most of the book, but it was decent, if overwritten. The history sections were a bit repetitive, and I wish it had been more inclusive (not everyone who might wear a bra has breasts! and the description of "tuberous" is probably the worst, most depressing name I've heard for boobs EVER 🤣). The diagrams of each piece with explanations were the best part.

Informative and interesting! Really helped me to figure out how to better wear stuff
This book is a long-awaited guide that has filled quite a gap in the literature on this subject. I'll be recommending this book to everyone I know with an interest in fashion, women's history, fiber arts, and self-care. Harrington's voice throughout the book is that of the wisest and kindest girlfriend one could find. Her passion spills over on these pages, and it's not just a passion for lingerie; it's a passion for femme folk to love themselves and treat themselves with tenderness. This guide is bursting with practical, no-nonsense information about how to measure for a bra, wash delicate items without ruining them, and wear a garter belt properly (knickers over the garters). But its true nature is as a love letter to softness: soft bodies, soft fabrics, soft treatment of the self and others. In addition, Harrington took great care to be inclusive, and I was delighted to see detailed and thoughtful sections on choosing lingerie for trans* bodies, disabled bodies, and so many other kinds of bodies.
And, of course, the watercolor illustrations of lingerie are gorgeous, though I wish there were twice as many of them!
