History of National Lingerie Day

National Lingerie Day celebrates beautiful and alluring underwear that aims to be a visual treat.
Lingerie refers to underwear that is not just functional but also beautiful and sexy. Lingerie is designed to be visually attractive and frame the bodies that wear it. Lingerie is made from fabrics like silk, satin, lace, chiffon, charmeuse, or lycra. These fabrics ensure that the lingerie is light in weight, sheer, and stretchy. Lingerie is designed to be comfortable to wear.
During the late 19th century, Lady Duff-Gordon began to design lingerie that was less bulky and more shape-defining than corsets. Underwear was now designed to fit closer to the body, be lighter, and be more breathable and wearable.
Once the First World War broke out, women had to join the workforce, especially in factories. The requirements for underwear became more about practicality. During the 20th century, the designs evolved and became more visually appealing. By the 21st century, designers began to look at lingerie as being fashionable.
Modern fabrics and production methods made modern lingerie designs feasible and accessible to more people. It was affordable to buy beautiful lingerie and people now had access to a greater variety of materials and designs.
