A small history of women's lingerie

   I could say that the evolution of women's lingerie has evolved on the same growth path of the industrial revolution. However, most innovations were done during the late Victorian era, I will thereby introduce you to the undergarments of those times.

   Most undergarments that were designed during the Victorian era were centered around that hourglass figure that dominated fashion up until our modern era, this model was also adopted by the babydoll garment desginers.

  
While many fashion designers ask how to get that hourglass shape fit properly, the answer is simple, you have to wear even more hourglass designer lingerie from a very young age.

   While this concept may seem outdated during in our modern times, during those times it was the only alternative, you literally had to torture your body in order to look good.

   The young woman had to start by wearng a very tight corset, they did so when they were only 3 or 4 years old and these garments were worn because literally, you had to grow into that hourglass shape.

   Those corsets needed other items to support the fashion so you had all kind of bustiers, chemises and imagine that all those clothes had about 20 pounds in total, so it was quite a weight to move around.

   Starting from the 1920's corsets became a little loose and during the 1950's that famous babydoll design was a bold statement of sexy fashion.

1970's corset designs

   The corset of the 1970's did not change much, there were some minor modifications at the total length, so you had an even smaller corset than the 1950's models.

   The biggest changes were done to the fabric and color, corests now became available in a wide range of colors and  innovations in fabric meant that new materials made corsets a lot cheaper.

Our modern era  undergarments

   Because of recent developments and breakthroughs in fabric manufacturing, the modern era corsets and bustiers are cheaper than ever, what was considered to be an upper class fashion item during the Victorian era, is now a day to day garment worn by thousands of young women from all over the world.

  
Important discoveries in nanotechnology mean that fabrics are a lot more durable, thus saving you money in the long run, this is why you should always invest in good quality garments.

    A good quality corset should include a good quality waist tape, at least 4 loops for extra grippines and some kind of strength layer.
