Impertinence and passion, grabbing cutie's latest piece of lingerie (9)

I believe the answer is:

brassiere

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lingerie' is the definition.
(I know that brassiere is a type of lingerie)

'impertinence and passion grabbing cutie's latest' is the wordplay.
'impertinence' becomes 'brass' (I've seen this before).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'passion' becomes 'ire' (ire is passionate anger).
'grabbing' indicates putting letters inside.
'latest' indicates one should take the final letters.
The last letter of 'cutie' is 'e'.
'ire' placed around 'e' is 'iere'.
'brass'+'iere'='BRASSIERE'

'piece of' acts as a link.
This may not be right. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
