Lingerie style in clothes

Recently, fashion more and more often returns to the past. On the catwalk, "outfits" appear that are not difficult to create yourself - skirts cut from all sides, one shelf above, the other below, naked shoulders further n? Where, a dress is worn on a skirt, a train flutters behind, but somewhere it is completely torn off. Whatever you see on the podium. Apparently, what was called beauty was completely bored, and therefore the designers decided to each stand out in their own way. Another rethinking of beauty takes place.

As for the "lingerie style", this style is also from the past. True, although it looks quite frankly, you definitely cannot call it "ragged". As for frankness, it depends entirely on us - you decide what to show and what to hide, or you can even not show anything at all, using the linen style and remaining a mystery.

Let us recall the primary sources of the underwear style - old underwear, where peculiar linen finishes and embroidery, lace and ruffles can serve as a source of creativity for many needlewomen.

For a hundred years of the twentieth century in the assortment of lingerie, day and night shirts, peignoirs, sleeping pajamas, petticoats, corsets, bodices have been and still are. Previously, linen was sewn from thin cotton, linen or silk fabrics. Fine hand embroidery was carried out on thin fabrics such as cambric, muslin, silk. On linen and dense fabrics, the embroidery was more embossed.

Often they embroidered with white thread on a white field. And the craftswomen who embroidered linen were called seamstresses. Very often embroideries of a certain type were used - hemstitch, Mstera, English, which in turn consisted of cutwork embroidery, smooth ... Sometimes they combined several types of embroidery, which were complemented by lace, ruffles, folds, tucks, "waffles", "puffs", ribbons, bows.

These works were considered one of the most difficult and required great professional skill. And who were these craftswomen? It turns out that women of different classes and any age. It is known from history that in Russia there were many such craftswomen, and girls from simple classes themselves prepared a dowry for themselves, stuffing their chests with embroidered linen, embroidered scarves, soul warmers and sundresses.

Girls were taught to do needlework, especially embroidery, from an early age. Girls of noble origin were also engaged in embroidery, especially since the reign of Catherine the Great, who stood on the Russian Throne, and suddenly saw that in many noble families, girls for the most part are not accustomed to needlework, they miss idleness and yearn for French novels.

Was it really? After all, it is known that in boyar and princely families women were just doing needlework, in history there are many examples of skillful needlewomen who created not only their outfits, but also decoration for Russian churches? Yes, it was. But under Peter I, much has changed in this respect. Needlework was given only to the hands of the people.

From the middle of the 18th century, women of the nobility gradually began to take up needlework. Fashion magazines with patterns and designs of linen embroidery appeared. One of the most popular magazines from the second half of the 19th century was the Niva magazine.

Fashion could not resist the beauty of linen embroidery, which appeared as a decoration in blouses, dresses made of fabrics of white or harsh colors. The lingerie style was especially suitable not only for girls 'clothes, but also for luxurious and expensive ladies' outfits.

And then the production of embroidered laces of industrial production, which were called "sewing", began. They were produced in footage, somewhere repeating the English white surface, somewhere Mster. These laces or stitches were used to trim the edge.Then there were special fabric coupons, from which it was possible to create an embroidered outfit. The cut and silhouettes of these outfits did not yet repeat the shape of underwear.

However, in the 20s of the twentieth century, short dresses with thin spaghetti straps appeared, more simply - shirt dresses. Such simple, unremarkable dresses had to be decorated with something. And here fantasy was needed. Used transparent fabrics, which were decorated with embroidery, this time from beads and glass beads or silk fringe. This lingerie style turned out to be in the 20s.

Today, something similar is being repeated. Designers offer bold solutions for various lingerie style ensembles. Maybe these proposals are caused by the desire of designers to demonstrate the charm and sophistication of lingerie, or can they erase all boundaries of moral principles?

And it is up to us to decide what is better to erase. In any case, today's fashion demonstrates interest in lingerie style things. For example, tops, embroidered and trimmed with lace, copy vintage bodices that were once hidden under clothing. A tight-fitting silk dress with thin spaghetti straps or trimmed with light transparent lace, reminiscent of a combination.

Puffy skirts with ruffles and ruffles or white lace fabric resemble petticoats. There are in the arsenal of linen style and negligees, and pajamas and even bodices, corsets, petticoats and other items of underwear worn over other outfits. Everything was mixed up in outfits - all styles and items of clothing, probably in order to stand out and tell everyone - "I'm not like everyone else, I'm so comfortable ...". Think for yourself, decide for yourself, the choice is yours ...
