Reviews

A dreamy resource of lingerie know-how.
*Sewing World*

An essential guide to every woman who wants to bring a little lace and a whole lot of Ooh La La! into her life.
*Jamie Cat Callan, author of FRENCH WOMEN DON'T SLEEP ALONE*

The book is a surprisingly fun take on the 'us versus them' Paris expat experience, and demonstrates that good lingerie - don't ever call it underwear - is part of the cultivation of the sensual that is essential to the French art of living.
