from the book: Lingerie, 2 centuries of luscious design by Norma Shepard

• looking at the olden day lingerie compared to new fashion trends, it is interesting to see the vast difference in the styles. and in particular the different cuts of underwear, as shown in some of the images. i am particularly interested in the trend of the Lacey things over the knickers. i want to design some of my own in relation to my concept. bu looking at the historical fashions of undergarments i can now understand where the trends have surfaced from and that they are now-back in fashion
