In the 19th century, pantaloons were in the wardrobe of every self-respecting lady. With their help, the representatives of the fair sex hid legs and intimate parts of the body under lush dresses. However, with the latter not very much (for certain reasons) and hid. In our review, the history and photos of elegant pantaloons from the past.
Fashion historians claim that the first items of women's dress, similar to modern panties, appeared only at the end of the 19th century. They were pantaloons. Courtesans were the first to wear them, and it took a long time for the aristocrats to recognize the pantaloons.
But even at the end of the 19th century, this intimate part of the wardrobe was far from the modern prototype. The trousers of the pantaloons were not sewn together for hygienic reasons.
Indeed, at that time, the ladies were tightly pulled into corsets, with which the top of the pantaloons was pressed against the body. Because of this, it was very problematic for a dressed woman to satisfy the natural needs. So that the corset did not have to be untied, and they came up with such a design of underwear.
The pant legs were only sewn in the late 19th century, but conservative ladies continued to wear seamless pantaloons, claiming that the youth were disgraced.
At the same time, the term "underwear" itself appeared, which by that time had become not only a piece of clothing, but also a symbol of femininity and coquetry. At the same time, pantaloons with openwork ruffles and silk ribbons, with lace, embroidery and embossing, came into fashion. Ladies from the upper classes wore more sophisticated and thinner lingerie.
It remains to be said that in the 19th century, a set of lingerie was appallingly numerous. In addition to pantaloons, it included a day shirt, a corset bodice over the corset itself, 2-3 petticoats and garters for stockings.
