That sexy silk or lace are feminine armor, offering a soft layer of protection against life’s vicissitudes. Her New York City store, La Petite Coquette, draws shoppers from around the world—and not just the celebrities who swear by it. New York Magazine sings her praises as “the best bra-fitter in the..what every girl ought to know!

| Author: Eleanor Eagly (midwest) .. | I was impressed by The Lingerie Handbook because of practicality. The information in this book assisted me in selecting bras that do their job. Finally I have guidance for selecting the right style and size for fit and lift because Apsan reveals the mysteries of selecting style, and cup size selection relative to the band size. I am pleased with the greater comfort and improved appearance of garments purchased following the book's tips. The book pays for itself with information that if followed will eliminate the future purchase of poor fitting bra. The information was a great time saver as I was able to pick out bras to try on that were more likely to fit so I didn't have to try on so many. | 29 | |

| Author: chris (denver, co) - Se.. | I stumbled upon this book while looking for something else, and couldn't help but pick it up. This book covers everything, including bras (how a good-fitting one can make you look so much better), panties, slips, hose, teddies, camisoles, you name it. The author explains what to get, how many, how to care for it, and what to wear it with. She covers the practical everyday needs as well as "special" lingerie. The book is beautifully photographed and is a pleasure to look at. And most importantly, the author, a lingerie shop owner, provides a lot of insight into why women shop for lingerie (and why many do not). She makes a strong case for how what we wear under our clothes is just as important as our clothing, and that it's important for women to treat themselves well. This book totally changed my view on lingerie and gave me permission to buy those nice things I've always wanted! | 30 | |
