Lingerie by Marilisa Racco (Princeton Architectural Press, 144 pages) $19.95
This pocket-size book offers a wealth of knowledge on the often hidden world of fine lingerie.
The secret is in the details as to what makes lingerie better than underwear. In a world where it is easy to spend outrageous sums on a handbag, it should be an obvious conclusion that spending the extra dollars on procuring well-fitting lingerie is worth it.
Marilisa Racco offers up a multitude of reasons why you should change your rationale when selecting your undergarments and she provides the details to justify her opinion. Bras, lingerie sets, bridal wear, corsetry, nightwear, hosiery and more are all examined with many different fashion experts adding comments throughout the book.
The value and reward found in well-fitted lingerie is something that Racco wants to encourage all women to enjoy.
"Much like an impressive work of architecture, fine lingerie depends on mathematically precise measurement as well as a beautiful façade. In lingerie, it is truly what's inside that counts."
