Lingerie collection for the queen

If you inform a modern person that wearing underwear was once considered something shameful and disgraceful, he will be surprised. At one time it was ridiculed even in literary works. And it was only about shorts, T-shirts and bras. Something that nowadays no man or woman can do without. Not only that, if you bring a medieval man to the pages of online stores, such as online lingerie store "FashionPlatinum" and show him the collection gathered here, he would have a nervous breakdown. Here is a unique in its completeness assortment of lingerie: bodysuits, jumpsuits, role suits, swimsuits, negligees, suspenders, robes, corsets, stockings and accessories for them. In other words, absolutely everything to emphasize femininity, sexuality, elegance of the weaker half of humanity.

All this incredible beauty began very trivially, with a Roman shoe, the calceum, which was laced around the foot. The height of the lacing gradually moved up the leg until, finally, they turned into a kind of tights. It is the calceum, as researchers believe, and was the prototype of modern underpants. This moment was recorded in writing by a certain Italian Franco Sacchetti, who in his works mocked those who wore this type of footwear: "shoving their asses into a tiny stocking (calzetto)".

A little later, when clothes made of expensive fabrics became fashionable, people thought about how to protect them from a dirty body so that they would not have to wash them often. After all, in those days, the body was washed quite rarely. Finally, in the 14th century the Latin word "mutande", which means "that which must be changed", entered into use. This was the term used for undergarments, which were worn under expensive clothes.

Thus began the triumphant march of underpants through the countries of medieval Europe. But they were mostly worn men. It wasn't until the late 18th century that panties became established on the female body.
