lingerie affairs

Posts Tagged ‘Lingerie’

In the 1940s, Frederick’s of Hollywood opened shop in Hollywood. They began turning out prettier undergarments, lingerie, and corsets. Many viewed these more fashionable undergarments as “hooker” attire. After all, why would a respectable woman need raunchy panties?

Thus, any pretty and/or fashionable garments worn under clothing were deemed as lingerie; which was associated with bad girls who did bad things…that men liked. Frederick’s of Hollywood still carries this stigma today and as a result, has been overshadowed by Victoria’s Secret as a more “respectable” undergarment retailer.

Colorful, bright, sexy, and flashier fashions of women’s lingerie were becoming available. More fabrics such as cotton, satin, lace and silk began to be incorporated into the makeup of women’s lingerie, making them more desired by females and more sensual to males.

I really don’t know how to react on this one. Glow in the dark lingerie? Well, designer Jan Hawley tried to be very innovative with it but I don’t think anyone would prefer it. As in no one would want to glow under the sheets. What I feel is that the normal pair of laced lingerie is prettier than the glowing one. But this would be a nice take for Halloween. It will give you a chance to dress up differently in any Halloween party.

So, if you are gearing up for something weird for the festival then make sure you have a look at this as well as other lingerie items in the store. Go illuminate yourself!
