Lingerie History
Within many centuries fashion in regard to lingerie styles was switching between the feminine and boyish, painful and
practical. Gone are the days of cone-shaped bust, "wasp waist", and "false buttocks". Today, lingerie is the most beautiful,
luxurious and feminine clothes that is worn intimately and appreciated for its practicality and comfort.
Let's look back and reflect on the most noticeable styles in lingerie past.
The first pieces of underwear can be traced back to the ancient civilization of Egypt and Greece, when women of Crete
wore corsets to support the breasts.
18th It is considered that the history of underwear began in the 18th century. The padded silhouette with a flat stomach,
narrow waist, and cone-shaped bust was in fashion. The corset, an essential part of any woman's wardrobe of that
time, gave women's bodies unnatural shapes, compressing their internal organs and causing them to faint. Excessive use
of satin, silk, and damask, decorated with embroidery, ribbons and laces created the effect of artistry.
19th Women's bodies were controlled by corsets, crinolines and bustles. S-shaped silhouette came into being: the
corset with a bustle in back made a woman sit with the very tip of her bottom on the edge of the chair. Women wore
about 5 ponds of underwear (knickers, corset, camisole, waist slip) and themselves tighter than ever. The crinoline
supported yards of fabric that completely exaggerated figure.
20th Lingerie became simpler and more practical. Corsets were substituted for a more flexible girdle with the modern bra.
Paste colours for lingerie came into use. In 1910 boyish silhouette was "in". No no hips, no bottom figure was a model of
admiration.
In the 1930s femininity was back again. A woman was decently covered by the one-piece garments known as corsets
consisting of a rounded and bust-emphasizing brassiere and girdle with garters.
But one-piece corsets continued to be widely used. Panties grew smaller and smaller and eventually took the shape of
bikini briefs.
21st century fashion is pushing women to show off the underwear as that is worn for the visual enjoyment of a partner.
Lingerie is to be thought of by many women as a second skin. All tastes and wishes are catered for.
Women are free in their lingerie choices more than ever.
