The evolution of women’s underwear from the 1920s to the present day (vid)

100 years of women’s underwear and its evolution

Underwear was originally designed to serve various purposes from hygiene reasons and preserving her modesty to changing a woman’s shape.

A new video from Glamour focused on vintage lingerie takes us through a history of over a hundred years of underwear.
