The History of French Lingerie

The Lingerie Addict has taken us back to school with this article on the history of French lingerie.

At the beginning of the 20th century, sitting on Thonnet chairs, the joke circulated that the recently built Eiffel Tower represented a woman’s leg in a fishnet stocking and its four pillars were garter belt fasteners. The Guimard metro stations emerged from the ground. The “S curve” became fashionable. Paul Poiret arrived at Worth in 1901. Garter belts succeeded garters. Stockings were black.

Setting the Record Straight

An article posted today by Jezebel sets the record straight about myths and misconceptions regarding corsets.

Over the years, corsets have been credited with causing a whole litany of health problems. It's been said that they misshape internal organs and cause cancer. Other illnesses attributed to corsets were fake, sexist conditions, like "hysteria." There's also no record of a woman having a rib surgically removed so she could better fit into a corset, which is a particularly absurd myth, given how deadly surgery was in the 1800s.
