A Brief History Of Lingerie....

1907: American Vogue illustrated a rigid, boned brassiere with no division between the breasts. Believe it or not, it was actually worn over the corset .

1913: Mary Phelps devised the first modern bra with two lacy hankerchiefs and some help from her maid. The following year she sold the patent to a Mr Warner whom she had met at a garden party. That discussion would have been interesting.

1918: Corset-makers were running up bras designed to flatten rather than enhance. This did not last too long. You see, they were ignoring the fact that curves are much more alluring than flatness.

1925: Bras first had divisions between the breasts and adjustable straps. Thus, the first bra was introduced.

1938: Finally acknowledging that breasts did not come in standard sizes, bra-makers introduced A, B, C and D cups. Men everywhere rejoiced.

1940: Padding was first sneaked into bra cups. It was a deceptive and manipulative move. To this day, not one male has complained.

1950s: Strapless bras appeared and women were now able to wear an off-the-shoulder dress and still use a bra.

1959: Warners and Du Pont produced Lycra which we have continued to use ever since then. As a result, the many varied fashions and designs of lingerie have continued to expand.

1965: The no-bra bra was introduced to give support with a nothing-under effect. Half-hearted women s libbers rejoiced. Males unconsciously decided to let women's libbers enjoy themselves while they continued to enjoy women who looked good in a nice set of sexy lingerie.

1973: The first no-bounce sports bra was introduced. Males ignored this change. So what!

1980s: Frederick's of Hollywood and Victoria's Secrets become national icons. Men find themselves ordering lingerie from catelogs and going into mall stores to purchase female lingerie with total abandon.

1990s: The Internet is filled with sites that feature lingerie catalogs and user friendly steps to order some of the most risque' lingerie available anywhere.

2000: For those who plunge in and decide to enjoy this form of sexuality, it just keeps getting better and better and better.
