Book Synopsis

In the spirit of French Women Don't Get Fat and Bringing Up Bébé comes the quintessential book about what French women can teach us about the world of lingerie.

American women wear underwear. French women wear lingerie.

French women seem inherently more confident in their bodies, able to embrace the sensuality of life and love. What's their secret?

Lingerie.

Paris Undressed will help women feel at ease with their figures and show them how to integrate a lingerie lifestyle à la française to enhance their own femininity, confidence, and joie de vivre. It will transform the way women perceive their undergarments -- and their bodies -- and reveal how to co-ordinate a lingerie wardrobe to reflect personality and to meet lifestyle needs with the right dose of reverie. This book goes behind the seams, combining cultural references, expertise, and practical advice to inspire every woman to reconsider her underwear drawer.

Review Quotes

In the book, Kemp-Griffin essentially offers a mindfulness guide to wearing lingerie the French way. She tells readers how to take a Marie Kondo-like approach to their underwear drawer (though Step 1 is to call it lingerie, not underwear).-- "Toronto Star"

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.-- "Elle Canada"
