Lingerie is a sexy French word, isn't it? It happens not to be so sexy in French, mind.
As a boy writer, I am always getting lingerie wrong. I've mostly avoided the male colonialism redolent in mamarian surveys and metrics. Of course, the basque and the garter belt speak of the boudoir. When we write characters we can say much about a woman by describing her lingerie that a reader, especially a woman reader, might pick up (yes indeed, men's underwear could also be described in the same manner). Does she dress in such a way that she's always ready to make a show of undressing, or has she been caught unawares in practical but unflattering underthings? Is colour about matching other clothes and skin tone, or is there deeper meaning in a choice of colour? If she wear Agent Provocateur or La Perla, do they signal different things? What would an easy-going woman wear, or a tomboy? Boy shorts?
O ladies, educate ye me!
