Sexy Lingerie : The History

At the present time, women, choose with equal attention the Lingerie with more emphasis than outer clothes.

Be assured that lingerie is not just a subject for women, men also make it, design it, and buy it.

Lingerie started for the purpose of personal hygiene and cover for modesty of proper women. Wearing Lingerie in principle was exclusively of masculine use. At the beginning these undergarments were designed as one piece and were not exactly what we would consider today as sexy.

With the revolution in women's lingerie and a little help from the French lingerie evolved as a sexy and deadly weapon of the empowered women when the revealing set of two pieces arrived. The supports consisted of lace fabrics that surrounded the breasts.

Today preferences exist depending on the age; the girls who in their 20 prefer g-strings, those of 30 choose between g-strings, thong and boyshort, whereas the women of 40 choose the classic comfortable panties or boyshorts

The bustier was the ancestor of the bodice, its function was to shrink the size of the waist and to accentuate the bust thus returning a more sensual feminine body. This one was very important during the European monarchies and the time of Napoleon, when the women looked to see themselves streamlined by means of this type of lingerie.

Between 1830 and 1914, the women wore several fabric layers under the dress; t-shirt, trousers, corset, full cover corset, engages. Flown, embroidered floods of embroideries, bows and tapes. This generated discomfort simultaneously with a newfound sense of respect to them. Among them; protection as opposed to attacks and violations, distinction, represented the woman who does not need to work, to the woman of moral convention, of comfortable life, and by mainly, it avoided all suspicion of pregnancy.

In 1914 the Taly bodice arises, the one that we know today, releasing the women of the uncomfortable corset. Between 1910 and 1919 the dance deeply influenced the fashion of lingerie, the dancer Isadora Ducan prioritized it in leaving corsets and the dancer Irene Castle impelled the revelation of the ankles.

The years between the 30’s and 50’s were conservative and showed little sensual respect to the underclothes during that era.

During the 60’s the “hippie movement” generated a breakthrough attitude towards lingerie.

Just in the 80’s, lingerie returned to be what it once was and what continues to be today. Helped by sexual icons of the time, among them Madonna, who spawned the use of sexy lingerie with embroidery and sophistication. Fashion quickly accepted by women and praised by men.

What lingerie shows is a woman power comfortable and strong. Nowadays the women have multiplied their expenses in sexy lingerie and the undergarment has become a sociological phenomenon demonstrating the authentic soul of a woman.
