The word Panties
mainly evokes ironic feelings. The persons still having underdrawers in their
wardrobes were deemed to be conservative and dull. And what about a woman of
today who wants to have such garment in her wardrobe in the time when the
lingerie shows the tendency to minimalism? Yet, however, we tend to include the
clothes which are not tiny at all and it is not always understandable. Though, girls
are not believed to wear just tongs and invisible string pants. Sometimes in
some particular cases the panties can be of great importance.
Traditions
dating back to old times
In spite of the simplicity and trivial purpose,
panties are still under discussion in regards to the place of origin. It is not
clear enough who and when created them. It is believed that the women’s
lingerie appeared in the XVI century as pants made from silk and they were the
garment of ceremonial ensemble. The high society wearing multilayer clothes
neglected wearing underwear at all unlike men.
In the XVIII
century the police of France
issued the law telling that dancers and courtesan were obliged to wear panties.
That was the indication point of the panties as the underwear detail as such.
Panties were always associated with sexuality and allurement and women rushed
to purchase this stuff which appeared to evoke the modern pants of today.
A century
ago panties were the obligatory garment of all women. The ladies form rich
families afforded panties made from expensive silk and lace whilst the less fastidious
and less wealthy wore the panties from cotton, flax and cloth. The underdrawers
differed from season to season, long and warmer for cold seasons and thin and
shortened for summer time. The distinctive feature of the lingerie of that time
was the expressive and prominent ruches created by elastic at the edge of
panties.
Panties
existed unchanged for several centuries and they underwent changes in the early
XIX century. First panties were combined with an undershirt. In the 50s of the
previous century panties were shorter losing the length with the tendency for
minimalism style. The minimalism style appears to ignore panties at all to
become the atavism garment of women’s apparel. However, these funny panties
lived short enough to prove their right to be present nowadays.
Sexual,
warm and good shapes
Panties of
today come as elements of corrective lingerie in the majority. And the underdrawers
were appreciated for the ability to cover the major lower body unlike the thin
tongs.
Pants with
tightening ability are demanded by ordinary women and celebrities, either, who
always have to appear in public at various functions always brilliant and in
good condition. And women have to opt for the right models to wear to make
visible the effect of wearing not the fact of wearing.
As any modeling
lingerie, panties are made from elastic fabric with elastic bands that
re-distribute the fatty tissues in better ways. Panties of good quality should
not squeeze the body making shapes less but the main function of them is to
model the silhouette with right shapes without causing discomfort. Panties come
in various forms, from mini-shorts to models with girdle which are big enough
from the bosom line to the knee. The panties with visible edges which will knowingly
pierce into the belly and thighs are not recommended to get since they
intensify the drawbacks, instead. The panties of best quality are manufactured
by the brands Maidenform, Shape Control from America and the Russian brand
Artemida.
Panties are
good as the part of night wear. When women cannot boast with perfect shapes and
skin, they opt for the sexual and frivolous pants with ruches, bows to go with
a vest or undershirt.
And
finally, the most stable model of panties with the purpose to wear for warmth
is also ineradicable. There is nothing to get ashamed about it, and no woman
should refuse from wearing warm panties in frosty weather. And today such
panties are available in various models to various tastes and preferences.
Panties are manufactured from cotton with some synthetic fabric for elasticity
and durability. The style allows making them invisible under dresses though
they perfectly cope with the problems, whether it is cold weather or modeling.
When celebrities are seen in panties to boast with modeling silhouettes to
appear sexual and alluring, more women will tend to imitate them, for sure.
