Sexy Lingerie - A History

Wed, Feb 18, 2009

We think of lingerie as a fairly modern invention but its purpose has changed down the centuries. The medieval era went through prolonged sexual repression and attempts were made to turn sex and the female form into something to be ashamed of.

There have been many shifts in attitudes though and this feeling of guilt started to be left behind during the Renaissance which invigorated the female form and brought about the start of the corset craze designed to heighten the hour-glass shape to the extreme. The corset is probably the most famous piece historical of Sexy Lingerie, as it was something specifically designed to exaggerate the classic female outline, even whilst functioning still as underwear. This was exciting underwear without being exciting nightwear.

Into the 1700s and corsets became even more adapted to accentuate the woman’s body, specifically the bosom. Push-up corsets were developed and highly decorated to create the legacy that we still enjoy today. Over time, the health problems were highlighted and the corset changed far more into a style item than a very extreme body shaping device.

Stockings were also developed around the same time as the bra and were at first always held up by suspenders. Like many older items of lingerie they went through a lot of development before they reached the familiar form we have today and these original items led to the creation of thigh-highs or hold-ups.

The original corset really saw the end of its mainstream life in the 20s when the Flapper Girls brought about a new fashion for less womanly curves and demand increased for lighter, easier and altogether more colourful lingerie. Chemises became popular as did bloomers.

But this craze was relatively short-lived, as popular culture meant fashions started to change more quickly. Into the thirties we find the bosom becomes popular again, and the push-up bra is developed to enhance the female figure. The girdle became a popular item too, replacing some of the function of the original corsets by shaping the waist and holding the tummy in. Just like the corset, some would also come with garters for holding up stockings. The late thirties also the first appearance of the thong. Although historically there had already been instances of this kind of underwear, it came to prominence in New York, and then in the forties was popularised by the bikini.

The modern thong dates to 1974 and started in Brazil. From there it spread far and wide, with the height of its popularity being in the 1990s. Recently there has been a slight movement away from the thong and the French Knickers are currently having a renaissance of their own.

Today, the blend of history and practicality has come together to create a range of fashions which provide both allure and support for a woman. There is such a huge range of lingerie on offer now that any woman is spoilt for choice as to whether she should accentuate her shape, or wear something comfortable, but with modern advances these things need no longer be mutually exclusive.

sexy lingerie questions

Question:
My husband bought me some sexy lingerie but I don’t want to wear it because I’m really embarrassed of my thighs and bottom. He keeps asking to see me in what he bought for me, but I just can’t face showing off my body to him — I have cellulite and I don’t feel sexy like the models who sell these outfits. How can I avoid wearing the lingerie and how can I stop him from buying more?

Answer:
In today’s society, we are saturated with “thin is in” messages leaving women and men believing that the waif-ish pre-pubescent silhouette is our ideal of sexiness. So it’s understandable that a woman with some curves around her thighs and bum can suffer some self consciousness in today’s world, which harshly judges anyone who dares to have a little extra jiggle. You know what, though? Women’s thighs and bums are designed to have a few curves. And what’s more, many men appreciate those curves.

Your husband knows what you look like — he shares your house and life with you. He is buying you lingerie because he adores you, finds you sexy, wants you to feel sexy too, and wants to physically appreciate you wearing something he thinks is just as sexy as you.

Many women can feel self-conscious accepting a gift of lingerie, because without having tried it on, they don’t know if it will look fabulously erotic or maximise their assets and hide their perceived flaws. As long as the lingerie fits, there are ways to wear it to make you feel a little more comfortable and to give him the delight in seeing you in it that he so looks forward to. One tip is to put it on at night, seduce him in it, and set up your bedroom with candles across the room from the bed. The candles throw enough light to see, but as you near the bed, it gets darker, and any issues you have with your thighs and bum are minimised.

Another point to bear in mind which might help give you more confidence to wear the lingerie your husband bought you, is that a man who buys little sexy things to wear for his partner has her in his mind … not the model on the advertisement. A man is visually focused on what is before him — and in this case, it’s you, wearing something he thinks looks beautiful on you. A man makes love with the woman who is between the sheets with him. The one he can touch, smell, taste, caress and adore.

Research also shows that men find women who are body and sexually confident a turn on. They prefer making love with a woman who loves to have sex with him, loves to be with him, than one who simply has the ideal figure, but doesn’t express desire to be with him. So, the key here is to feel sexy and translate that feeling to your husband.

Do you feel sexy in any part of the lingerie he bought you? If so, go for it! If not, shop for a slip that matches or coordinates with the lingerie that helps to cover the area(s) of your body that you feel self conscious about. Or else buy some lingerie yourself, in a style that makes you feel sexy, and surprise him in it. It’s best to do this after you’ve worn the lingerie he’s bought you, otherwise his feelings are likely to be hurt.

So while you asked me for advice on how to stop the lingerie issue in your household, I would actually suggest you do wear the lingerie … and allow your husband to buy you more of it … and maybe even shop for it together. Everyone deserves to feel sexy. Let your husband adorn and adore you.

Is Sexy Lingerie & Women’s Lingerie industry in turmoil?

Wed, Jan 14, 2009

In its report ‘Global market review of sexy lingerie and intimate apparel - forecasts to 2014′, just-style estimates that the value of the global lingerie market rose by just 2.6% to US$29.92bn between 2004 and 2007.

The reasons for this low growth include ageing populations in the developed world, fierce retail competition driving prices down, and the continued movement of production to lower cost countries. The report says that by the end of 2007, clothing prices (including those for lingerie) were 4% lower than they were in 1995.

By garment category, bras account for 56% of global retail sales, briefs at 32%, and daywear and shapewear (corsetry) taking the remaining 12%.

Biggest opportunities
Brand marketers should note that although global growth has come from the developing world (up 8.1% between 2004 and 2007 and led by the Indian sub-continent), the biggest opportunities are still in Western Europe and North America, which between them account for 65% of the lingerie market.

Having said this, the engine for market growth in the future will be in the developing countries like China and India, where more merchandise will be sold but at lower unit prices.

just-style’s global market review estimates that the retail market for lingerie will grow to US$33.57bn by 2014 - a rise of 12.2% over 2007.

However, there’s no doubt that the market is crowded, and recent industry events have seen a number of players review their market positioning.

Over the last two and a half years, three of the industry majors, namely Sara Lee, VF Corporation and Warnaco have either exited their European lingerie operations or excited the intimates business completely.

These events point to some major changes taking place in the lingerie industry, namely: the dramatic changes in ownership of the big multinationals, and changes in the methods of distribution of lingerie to the final consumer (specifically, the move by brand owners to set up their own retail operations).

Lingerie, however, still has a plethora of ‘real’ brands, especially in Western Europe. Elsewhere in the world (in regions without ‘organised’ retail distribution), much of the lingerie sold is anonymous merchandise sold from market stalls.

Core competence
As a consequence, the report suggests that each player in this market must ask whether it wants to be a designer, a brand or retailer? And it must identify its strategic core competence.

In the long term, it seems likely that more and more lingerie brands will venture into retail, partly because the independent boutiques are getting fewer so their customer base is declining, but also because the boutiques are unable to stock and show the wider ranges that brands offer.

But it is also appears that while the multinationals have failed to dominate, the smaller brands will continue to compete for space in a very cluttered market.

Across the lingerie market worldwide, brands will have grown their market share by 62% by 2014, retail own labels will have risen by 53%, and anonymous merchandise will have fallen by 16%.

This has convinced just-style that, whatever statements various international brands may happen to make, there is no future for a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach to selling lingerie around the world.
