Bra: A Thousand Years Of Style, Support & Seduction
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Very helpful, and has alot of wonderful information.
Pedersen is excellent researcher

Although the cover insinuates tittilation, the information packed into this book is historically accurate and detailed, with photographs backing up information. The book is logically laid out and would be a perfect part of any woman's studies course or project for such a class. The presentation is such that this would also make a conversational coffee table book - espcially when combined with other Pedersen books like "Shoes". Highly recommended.
History made fashionable

Though this is a history of breast treatments (it includes binding and corsets which pre-date the bra), Bra: A Thousand Years of Style, Support & Seduction is also a social commentary, explaining what it must've been like to live in the various eras before our own. The art is amazing--and fun.
Sexy and smart
