Basic Concept of Lingerie
August 11th, 2008 by admin
The concept of lingerie being visually appealing was a development of the later nineteenth century. Up through the first half of the 20th century women selected underwear for three major purposes: to alter their shape, first with corsets and later with girdles or bras, for reasons of hygiene, or for modesty. Womens lingerie before the invention of the crinoline was often very large and bulky. As the 20th century progressed underwear became smaller and more form fitting. In the 1960s ‘controversial’ lingerie manufacturers such as Frederick’s of Hollywood begin to glamorize lingerie and the idea of lingerie having a sexual appeal slowly developed.
