- "In Intimate Detail" by Cora Harrington: www.thelingerieaddict.com/in-...
Cora Harrington's "In Intimate Detail" is an easy to read guide to Lingerie, how to buy it, and how to store it. The book covers topics like Bras, Underwear, Shapewear, Hosiery, & Loungewear in a way that explains each topic's history, what body types and shapes they will benefit, beautiful illustrations to train the eye for garment identification, and tips and tricks along the way. I initially picked up the book because I was looking for a guide to Lingerie to help me with my Victoria Secret Fashion Show videos, but the book is so much more than just a guide to garments, it truly feels like a book that actually walks the reader through how to identify different aspects of their body and what Lingerie might work well for them. It talks about fibers and fabrics and how putting certain things on your body can affect it. There are guides to storage as well as care, which is important for those looking to take care of their lingerie, in order to have it last longer. There are even tips for how to purchase, custom, new, and vintage lingerie, as well as guides on how to shop in person for it, as well as online! I couldn't even cover all the topics Cora Harrington discusses, which is why I think the book is a must-have for those that love fashion as well as those that have never been truly taught what is the right way to wear and buy Lingerie!

Sammmmmmme ugh ♡♡
Samee
TRUE 🙏
literally
Can I say that I wouldn't be mad if Luke made a whole 19 minute video about Dita Von Teese fashion
Yes !!!
PLEASE 💞
Hear, hear!
Yes, please!
ooooh yes PLEASE!
didnt expect luke to teach us about lingerie but here we are not complaining. king.
This made me smile. He is so exited and intrigued by something he has no need of knowing or understanding. A lot of the things he spoke about, are things most women either learn by trial and error or by word of mouth. As someone who grew-up awkward, and only wearing boys clothes with neglectful parents, I had to figure all this out on my own. The awkward nerd that I was and to be frank still am, would have been relieved to know there was a book that explained it all. Instead I felt like an alien with people staring at me, while quickly trying to choose something from rackfuls of brightly coloured lacy things that I had no idea how to wear or how they were even supposed to fit.
Anjel...I feel you. I was also a bit of a tomboy growing up. I didn't know I needed a bra until another student in tenth grade told me that probably should get one. I was soooo oblivious.
i relate to this so much
Same! I was a super Tomboy growing up and My mother who has a very large chest and isn't a girly girl just cared about support and seeing her a/b cup daughter,she didn't even think I needed a bra for the longest time!!! LOL. I def learned as I went!
I’m sorry to hear that, well at least now you have something to give you the information y0u need and you don’t have to rely on your parents
You should review the “I grew up in a corset” video by Bernadette Banner. She wore a corset for most of her life because of scoliosis and reviews the history and myths regarding corsets. She also has a couple videos where she recreates historical undergarments.
I think they follow each other! I've seen them exchanging comments on the Micarah review video if I remember well
I love her but that vid was incredibly biased and dishonest.
@@louetke That video showed up on my homepage back before I followed her (or any other fashion youtubers really), and I remember not liking her at all in that video - I discovered her other content and I totally love her now.
@@louetke why so ? I thought she had quite a lot of evidence and research.
yessss!!!!1
The only man I trust to tell me or speak on lingerie and underwear!!!

We stan a feminist king that also turns out looks in every single video 👏
Luke is both my mom and an older cooler sister who knows what to wear at this point. I stan
tbh as a bigger chested girl, finding the right bra for me was life changing and i hope we keep talking about it! anyone who wears a bra should get mesured and find the right bra. i kept wearing small bras and i was surprised it didn't fit right and turns out the sizes don't stop at a d cup! it can be harder to find bigger bras but it's so worth it. i didn't know about this book, but i'll look into it, it seems really interesting
I agree soo much! I think there's such a strong perception that a D or DD cup is huge, and anything above that is ginormous, and it's really not necessarily the case. It also makes it worse how many lingerie stores will basically lie about what size they're measuring you as in order to get you to buy their products, or just not be properly trained in measuring to begin with - I was once measured in a La Sanza and the sales lady told me I was a 36C, despite the fact I was already wearing a La Senza bra in 32DDD. And when I finally got measured at a store with extended sizes and proper measuring methods, it turns out I'm actually a 30I or 30J. You could've knocked me over with a feather, I was so surprised!
It's especially important for big breasted women to have the right bra because of all the back pain/complications that can arise from not having enough support. These complications can be even worse when the woman is quite active. The bigger the breast, the more weight your back has to support, and the more active you are, the more extreme/forceful the "pulling" motion of the breast are going to be when, they move, be it up and down, or side to side etc. Definitely a good idea to try and find one that is designed for the activity your currently doing, while giving the right fit, support, and security.
Yes! I recently found a place in my lovely southamerican corner that makes tailored bras with the specifications you give.
The only problem is getting an appointment because they can't take a lot of clients per week, so we have to plan to make sure it will be done on time.
Totally agree. I really enjoy that lately, really pretty and lightweight bras are getting made in my size too (36HH/34J). I love Ewa Michalak. Like, there are some people who think a DD is big. LOL. Then again, most women who wear a "DD" cup should be at least a G if they were sized correctly. To be honest, back when I was a G I thought mine aren't big enough. Well, nature obviously wanted to teach me a lesson and the last cup size I'm actually starting to notice my back/neck hurts sometimes even though I wear the right bra, and I can only stand with good posture when I push them into my chest. Bummer. I need more yoga. They never really stopped growing even though I'm in my thirties, it's sort of weird.
I was wearing a 34dd for years when I should have been wearing like a G cup!
Luke serving us some shoulder hunnny 👏🏾
Asymmetric at that!
Love the top! Seems like asymmetry is growing on you huh?
we are developing a relationship lol
Sounds like a great book! Since I'm a fiber nerd, I do want to mention that viscose actually isn't plastic! It's cellulose that's processed from wood/bamboo. It's more comfortable and breathable than polyester, but the manufacture process can still harm the environment because they use very harsh chemicals.
I agree, it's not the most sustainable production but once it's out there and in second hand shops, it's a great option. It's always refreshing to find viscose blouses when so many are unblatantly polyester. And I hate how so many linings on coats (even of those that are otherwise 100% wool) are polyster, so viscose is a great choice for that if I can find it.
I’m actually pretty clueless about undergarments. I wear a basic bra and underwear every day. I know there are things like slips, stockings, tights, nylons, garters, shapewear, and more, but i don’t know when and where they should be worn or in what order. I feel like I stay away from certain clothes because I don’t know what to wear under them. I’ll have to look into getting this book!
I haven't gotten my hands on the book yet but speaking as a reader of Cora's blog and casual/intermediate lingerie enthusiast, I'd say you shouldn't feel you have to wear undergarments only in certain times or ways! If you're coming from a place of wearing basics every day you don't need to jump into shapewear or stockings or other pieces that might be more intimidating. I personally don't really like getting dressed up in that way either, but nice loungewear (like a robe, slinky pants or shorts, or a crisp slip) can be less fussy, and double for wearing outside when layered thoughtfully. Or just doing chores and flouncing around the house in a matching bra and undies really hits the spot some days! It's all about what you feel comfortable in.
When Luke said “straight man looking to buy gifts” and pointed at the camera, I really felt like he was talking to me. Then I remembered I’m not straight and just like buying my female friends gifts 💀
Das sweet of you
You just reminded me of a dream I had. I finally got a boyfriend and we went shopping to a very expensive shop. I thought that he was choosing a bra for me as a present, but It turned out that he was shopping for a bra for himself and expected me to pay for It. I'm a girl and in my dream I had an impression that he was a perfectly ordinary straight male. Also in my dream I didn't have enough money to pay for his bra which stressed me out the most
Aw you're so sweet
Yaaaas I’m so happy you’re giving attention to foundational garments and Cora Harrington! She’s such an awesome person and an incredible resource for anyone who wants to wear lingerie. She also fosters an inclusive community around lingerie and I’m so happy to see her getting some well-deserved recognition. If you’re looking for more lingerie resources definitely check out the lingerie addict website.
Dearest and most gorgeous Luke,
I love how dedicated you are to educating yourself about fashion. Then, you educate the rest of us. I've been wearing bra's for over twenty years and I'm still learning about them. May your beautiful soul be surrounded by everything good.
And bra wearing people: remember that pregnancy, weight gain/loss, and a variety of other things can change your body and what you'll need for support and comfort.
I think there’s a huge lack of knowledge among women and bra-wearers in general about bras. A lot of women think the cup range is just A - DD and have no understanding of how shape effects the bras you should get. ngl, I blame Victoria’s Secret and Ed Razek. Like you said, it’s hard to think of another somewhat affordable, mainstream lingerie specialty store besides Victoria’s Secret. Once you start to get titties, it’s really your only option besides like Target or Macy’s, which often have even worse selections and no one to help with a fitting.
So they obviously have a massive and massively diverse consumer base. Yet Razek decided to market it, on the one hand, like high fashion, which unfortunately includes having almost exclusively size 00 models. Consequently, a lot of their bras are just designed with skinny women in mind. On the other hand, all of his marketing campaigns and strategies are extremely straight male gaze-centric, right down to the Michael Bay-directed ads. And that actually results in some of the models, even in ads and on the runway, wearing ill-fitting bras because they push the women’s boobs together more (seriously pay attention to the gore in those ads and you’ll see how it’s almost *never* touching the model’s sternum because too-small cups = sexy spillage)
So basically every awkward adolescent who grows out of training bras and sports bras immediately looks to Victoria’s Secret, where they’re told that they need to be skinny and that women’s underwear is for being sexy to men. Then you get there, and the size ranges from A to DDD and like *maybe* a 40 band but I usually only see it go up to 38. Then you have almost every bra designed with the purpose of creating cleavage, which just usually isn’t a priority when you got them big ol’ tiddies. The designs almost all favor one standard breast shape.
And don’t even get me started on the utterly over-sexed Pink line targeted toward teens. I was literally 14 with underwear that said “light my fire” all over them and a thong with a picture of a cupcake on the vagina that said “eat me”.
And then there’s Ed’s transphobia and the fact that Jeffrey Epstein used his friendship with Leslie Wexner to pretend he was a VS modeling scout so he could get young girls to model for him. And Wexner knew about it and did absolutely nothing. Plus VS is basically fast fashion posing as high fashion and it’s totally unethical and unsustainable.
So basically, fuck VS and L Brands in general. I kind of wish we could have a Dolce and Gabbana thing with them, but I understand they have a wider reach so that’s harder to do. I think we just need to find/popularize other affordable lingerie stores that don’t suck so they can replace VS.
Sorry for the goddamn essay, lol. I just had to rant about that bitch Ed Razek and the overall shitty effect VS has on the world.
🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Emily Kipp YES GURL
I shall say that women with *very* petite chests have trouble finding bras. I have only heard of one company specialising in petite bras and that company is in America. I'm from the other side of the globe, fam. I don't think we even have a store here that specialises in petite breats.
My aunt decided to get her bras from Switzerland (she had one of her kids there and has lived there on/off for more than two decades) because at the time she had large breasts and the bras here were too expemsive or didn't have sizes. In the end she went to get her breast size reduced from the medical proplems worsened by the large size. She still gets her bras from Switzerland to this day.
And VS having "smaller" sizes is not the best thing ever, but it isn't the worst IMO. If you want to have "real size" models (not obese, over weight or unhealthily skinny) then you need to do something about it. We can have have a tiny grasp in getting healthy sized women modeling the underwear, but I am pretty sure the change wont be happening with a finger snap.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Marks and Spencer has very comfy bras in a decent range of sizes 🙂 10/10 recommend.
I LOVE Cora. I love how she breaks down how lingerie making, especially bras, are a work of art and a feat of engineering. How she also dispels myths about corsets and highlights a variety of brands. Her Twitter/IG introduced me to Nubian Skin, aka the only place I've been able to find nude pantyhose for black girls.
I really appreciate you taking the time to educate yourself about fashion related things before you try to critique their technical elements. We stan willingness to learn!!!

“book club where you haven’t read the book” is a book review
Viscose, while synthetic in the sense that it's a man made fiber, is not actually made from plastic! Similarly to rayon, it's made from plant fibers, and so shares many of the same qualities as cotton fiber in its breathability and moisture wicking capacity.
there can be quite a lot of chimical involved in the process tho. Modal and Lyocell are good alternatives if I remember well
And thus it can be composted without any fear that microplastic particles end up in our waterways and oceans!
I've literally shot with Cora multiple times but your review finally made me pull the trigger. She's an amazing woman and has done SO MUCH for the lingerie community.
What does that mean please? Like a photo shoot but didn't purchase anything?
Here I am an almost 39 year old woman living in Germany and having worn bras for more than 25 years (I have it figured out by now but it’s still a struggle at times when shopping), absolutely thrilled to watch this video and be taught more by a young man from NY. The internet, people!
I love Cora! I’m so glad you mentioned her book.
SHE'S BRILLIANT!!!
For other lingerie lovers: for love and lemons is my absolute go-to favorite. Especially for my size which is an xsmall frame and chest.
In the 80’s, I worked for a bank and we were required to wear hose if we wore a skirt or dress. When I was in 5th, 6th grade, all the girls had fishnets in different colors, went with our ootd. And with a garter belt. This was in the mid to late sixties. Good times! Love your videos. 💕
OMG Please start a hautelemode book club, where we read fashion/style related reads every month or so. Please luke, it would be big ;;::: (
So glad Cora Harrington is getting the recognition she deserves! She's fantastic.
Now that you understand a little bit more about lingerie you can make an Agent Provocateur Runway Review! PLEASEEE!
It’s so lovely to see how passionate you are about fashion and fashion related subjects and how excited you are to learn as much as you can about it 💖
serving looks and educating himself and us, absolute KING.
i love how you're geeking out here. I was looking into lingerie patterns and you're right on cue to inspire me.
Never thought I’d see the day when Luke wears an AsYmETric shirt
Just want to say, that Luke is amazing creator. His passion and genuine interest for things are contagious and inspiring. Yes to this channel and its success.💙🌷
YES! Love seeing someone give Cora Harrington the respect she deserves.
Your content is literally all I need
I've been thinking about the fact that I want to have children. I've gone back and forth with the idea as I think many 20 somethings are right now. I want to plan the experience and make sure I am prepared. I thought cultivating a list of things that are life changing to a young person would be so cool. This is definitely the type of book I would give my future daughter and something I think would have been so beneficial to me much earlier in my life ♡
Yes, I love that! I'm a public health student, so I have a list like that too for health lol would you mind sharing what you put on yours?
Love that you’re so ready to learn about fashion items that you weren’t initially drawn to, you make everything so exciting and informative. Have loved watching you grow from your roasts into these really intense fashion lessons! Like more intense than I learned from my professors at London College of Fashion 💕💕
so happy that cora harrington is getting a shoutout! I've been following her online for years and her wealth of knowledge has been a wonderful resource!
Please keep the “book club” going!! Thank you for continuing to elevate conversations around fashion!!
You would most likely be a B cup because of band sizing. However, A and B cups are "sister sizes" it depends. Bra sizing is weird and sometimes inconsistent.
I would probably be an A cup seeing that my breasts are quite small. However, my band size makes me a B. One time I was shopping for a bra with my aunt, I asked for a 32 B and the saleslady said I should get an A. My aunt being a "trust them because they know" person pressured me to get a 30 B bra because I would ~probably~ regret getting a bra in the size I wanted. Surprise surprise! The band was too tight despite the stretch. It's still in my wardrobe but I only wear it for days when I only need a bra for a short period of time.
For real! Some people might think im an A or B cup, but my measurements always point towards C or D but i have a flat chest when i wear clothes lol my boobs just sit far apart and look big at certain angles but flat at other angles
It's about the volume tbh. When I was a teen (thinned), my size would've been 30C, and now I fit a 34A just fine.
This video made me subscribe. We stan an inclusive king who keeps educating himself and sharing the knowledge
This man is amazing. His appreciation of Cora is making my heart melt too! She's so wonderful I'm glad he found her and is talking about her book
YESSS finally the book i was waiting on you to do since january when you told us you learned about different breast shapes when Zendaya wore the Tom Ford breast plate for the Critics Choice awards.
I’ve recently really gotten into lingerie and I love how it makes me feel and spent so much money the other day on some new stuff for myself and it is so fun and I loved that this book emphasises that it is about the wearer, because it really is.
Omg ! I support Cora on patron and have been a huge fan for almost a decade now- to see you cover this is amazing! So amazing i left a comment which I seldom do.
Omg yesss I lost all my nervousness💕 thnks king for putting so much effort on this ✨
i love how he was like "i always thought that victoria's secret is so expensive, but I learned that bras are incredibly difficult garments to make." um luke, no offense, but you've clearly never actually worn a bra from victoria's secret, because bras ARE incredibly difficult to make if you want to make them correctly and take into account the variety in the bodies of bra wearers, their preferences, and their needs (eg. comfort, cleavage, support, subtlety, sexiness, durability, quality, affordability, etc.). but VS, well um, doesn't care about any of that? VS is a mass-market, large-scale production company, where quality can be compromised to a certain point, and is encouraged to BE compromised for profit. they entertain and employ big, sometimes unsafe factories which take advantage of poor workers. have you ever heard a person of any shape or size say "wow, VS makes amazing bras" or "wow, VS has great quality" or "wow, VS really takes my needs as a customer into account?" I sure as fuck haven't.
I bought three bras from VS. They fell apart after a year.
I paid like $54 for a VS bra a week ago.
The ring on the straps are cheap plastic, not metal. Very disappointed. It makes this “eeek ehhh errr” sound when I move 😬
This is also my first time buying a brand bra. It makes me feel embarrassed to go in as I know they probably don’t have my A-cup size
@@lc7592 Omg mine makes that squeaky sound. They're absolute garbage tbh. In the UK we have Boux Avenue and i definitely prefer them, the staff are way more helpful compared to VS as well.
This is what happens when people fixate on bra advice from men that don’t wear bras tbh, this video popped up in my recs for some reason and I was vaguely annoyed because I’m sorry but if you don’t have boobs you’re never gonna fully be an expert on bras
My sister is on the heavier side and has some DDs but says she loves the VS bras, im too intimidated because i never find my band size
I thought I knew a lot about bras, but I recently got into sewing them and it turns out I barely knew anything... its been very illuminating for me!
Living for your top!!!😍
Love how excited you were to talk about this!
Luke always always always giving us fun educational content, i always look forward to your videos!!!
The video I didnt need know I needed! Thanks for being so cheerful and full of knowledge, I love your content
Wow, thank you for introducing us to this book! How did I not know it existed 😱
It’s shocking how many women don’t know and aren’t even wearing the correct size bra
Just found your channel, I'm so grateful for this video! Thank you 😊✌️🏻
I love this crossover episode that's happening in my head lmao - HauteLeMode and The Lingerie Addict are like my main sources of learning the history, context and impact of fashion and garments. yall both are flowing with information, and never too dense and inaccessible. SO excited to see HLM expand!
I used to love watching my mother get dressed in the morning, panties,bra,slip, garter belt, stockings, then a dress and a nice pair of shoes. My mother wore a dress EVERY day of her life.
I love this book!!! It makes me literally SO happy that other people are interested in lingerie!
I'm so glad you found this book and took the time to tell people about it! I've learned so much from it too. It's an amazing guide, and I hope other people take the time to check it out.
This is an amazing recommendation! Thank you, Luke!
this so amazing
Omg we loveeee Dita!!! She’s so classic and feminine.
Your enthusiasm is so contagious! ❤️
Cora is such a delight I’m so glad you enjoyed her book!
I have this book, everyone should get it if they can. I learned so much and its helped me make more educated lingerie purchases.
This was absolutely interesting, i didn't even notice that 19 minutes had already past. I do really like this kind of videos!
Omg, the peter do top!! Its so goood😻
Oh yes lingerie is a language in and of it’s self!❤️⭐️
It's nice to see Luke so passionate learning about lingerie and to be willing to share about it with us.
Love you so much Luke 😩 thank you foreverrrrr
As a 37 year old WOMAN. I didnt know until today how bad I NEEDED THIS 20 something man to teach me about Lingerie. Luv ya LUKE Honestly great review and research.. You shld be xtra proud of this one.. You did Great!
Hi Luke! I just felt the need to write this comment.
I'm a fashion design student and sometimes I forget how much I just love fashion.
Your videos remind me of that. I love the way you explain things, I admire how much you know about fashion and how you shout out other people that knows the things you may be lacking.
Honestly I want to thank you for your content and for inspiring me and reminding me why I love fashion and it's history so much.
Lots of love from Argentina!
You've sold me. Buying and reading!
Lucas, the title got me ready to start, BUT this video is glorious. I mean, lord, does the passion for garments ever end??? The in and outs of bra sizing is barely understood by the men, women, and the in-betweens who desire to wear them. as a fashion professional, your interest in learning and discussing these types of undergarments is EVERYTHING. p.s. "boob style" is a great way to describe it.
You've sold me... i gotta get this book!
Starting my lingerie business and this book would definitely help me along the way thanks homie 🙏🏾
Refreshing to see someone genuinely excited to learn something knew.
Ooooh ive read this book before and i loved it
Luke, u are amazing. pls keep on making these kinda vids
Luke, thanks for recommending this book. It’s so fun to look into the technicalities and history of garments! Also you look great asymmetrical tops, it shows off your shoulders so well! I was wondering what your opinion was on Kibbe styling?
Now I want this book!
I didn’t know that Luke screaming “GROSGRAIN FABRIC” was what I needed to hear today.
I follow Cora on Twitter and have learned so much! Okay now to watch the video😊
Just wanted to say that because of this video I've been reading this book. I've been really enjoying reading because it has a very informative but most of all very kind tone that's honestly about using lingerie to help you feel good about yourself.
Great video! Thank you:)
I got the book a few weeks ago. So glad you did a video on lingerie
The price of that tank top kicked me in my kidneys and called me poor.
..and I would happy for the attention.
I never expected to ever understand all this but now I do🥰
O God! This human is so excited and passionate about this book!!!!!! I feel like ordering it right away :-)
I loooove Cora and the Lingerie Addict! I need to get this book for suuuure.
I’m definitely going to hunt this book asap!
Now I want the book you make it sound like reading this book will help me learn more about myself
Sounds like a very informative guide. Thanks Luke
You are my fashion person. I'm a fan of always wearing black and defending myself. I just like it. You brought me to understanding of silhouettes and to pick up my game. I love you babe!
P.S. I'm always proud of myself when I realize I am pronouncing designers correctly.
Thanks so much for this I can't watch the entire video right now; however, Cora is a fantastic resource. When she first started her blog she focused on stockings and vintage inspired undergarments. Furthermore I LOVE that her website actually has renowned corsetiers review corsets and explain corset making. If you feel comfortable doing it, please take the time to interview Bianca from The Closet Historian she can really give you excellent details about vintage lingerie and fashion, especially because she is a historian and a seamstress.
Ur top is everything!
I’m definitely adding that book to my reading list! I know a tiny smol bit about lingerie, and that looks fascinating! Would especially love to learn more about online shopping/fitting, etc.
Ughh LOVE the shirt
