Description:
After World War II, a newly affluent United States reached for its own gourmet culture, one at ease with the French international style of Escoffier, but also distinctly American. Enter James Beard, authority on cooking and eating, his larger-than-life presence and collection of whimsical bow ties synonymous with the nation's food for decades, even after his death in 1985.
In the first biography of Beard in twenty-five years, acclaimed writer John Birdsall argues that Beard's struggles as a closeted gay man directly influenced his creation of an American cuisine. Starting in the 1920s, Beard escaped loneliness and banishment by traveling abroad to places where people ate for pleasure, not utility, and found acceptance at home by crafting an American ethos of food likewise built on passion and delight. Informed by never-before-tapped correspondence and lush with details of a golden age of home cooking, The Man Who Ate Too Much is a commanding portrait of a towering figure who still represents the best in food.

Perfect for my body and fit preference, plus COTTON
Size: X-Large, Color: Set-unbl
Update: Different color packs fit differently. I've purchased two packages, one all-black and one black with the colorful waistbands. The all-black are a little smaller. IMO the all-black run a half to a full size small, and the black with the colorful waistbands run true to size.
Listen, all of our bodies and preferences are so different, but these are perfect for my body and my fit preference. They hit at my bellybutton and I would describe the length as short-boyshorts, but not hipsters. Most importantly, they're cotton, which my body reacts much better to these days.

They're ok
Size: Large, Color: Set-mu2
These are ok. I'm 5'6", 150lbs. I got a large. The colors are fun. The waist band is comfortable, fits well, doesn't dig in, and sits high enough to not affect a my C-section scar, but they constantly ride up.

Bamboo Cool Camisole
Color: White, Size: X-Large
The camisole is so soft even after the first wash. It is form fitting and fits nicely under my blouses. I would definitely buy Bamboo Cool again. Arrived on time & product was what I expected. Thank you.
