Development in Women Lingerie

Women's lingerie is very widespread today. There are several types adapted to everyone's tastes. The designers are constantly creating new models and adapting their collections according to the different seasons.

Women's lingerie is the most used underwear, almost by the majority of women these days. And besides the latter consider it essential, however, for many years they were deprived of it because no one had considered it useful to develop this kind of clothing.

Besides, many may find it interesting to wonder about the type of underwear that women wore when female lingerie was still unknown.

The Beginnings Of Female Lingerie From Antiquity To The Renaissance

During antiquity, women wore thin dresses, usually cotton, under their outer clothing. To make the female parts of the body, such as the chest, appear less visible, women applied tight bandages.

In the Middle Ages, women still had the same habits as before. On the other hand, the Renaissance era was marked by the use of an abdominal belt, which today is called a sheath. The latter strengthened the posture and gave a flattened shape to the stomach. It covered the chest to the hips, and in a way replaced the bandages. The types of underwear got closer to lingerie around the 16th century, but it was not until the 20th century that female lingerie was actually mentioned as it is understood.

The Arrival Of The XXXL Changes The Codes Of Women's Underwear

From the twentieth century, women's underwear has been characterized by panties and bras. Other varieties of panties such as boxers and Stings have appeared over time, and for bras, bustiers. We see that women's lingerie made of lace is more successful than cotton, it is surely the glamorous effect provided by lace.
