Lingerie: Seventeenth Post (Final Thoughts)

Posted in Fashion, History at 1:11 am by Rosepixie

LingerieI don’t quite agree with the list of lingerie “must haves” in the back of this book.  First of all, it’s missing things like slips and hosiery.  I can see why they might leave out hosiery, but there is no reason for slips to not be on this list - especially since one was listed in the body of the book as “Lingerie Must Have No. 3″.  Besides that, there is a problem, in my view, with what they consider as necessary to own in terms of bras.  They say one should have several of “the comfortable bra”, but also list about half a dozen other random types of bras one evidently must own.  Shouldn’t all of one’s bras be comfortable?  Sports bras are different, sure, but beyond that forget it.  There’s just no reason for it.  Wear your comfortable bras with everything or you dress up too much!  Besides, strapless bras largely suck, so buy a bustier instead if you need one.  That’s it.  Maybe they got money from Victoria’s Secret for the list or something (although, their bras suck, don’t shop there).
