All About Vintage Lingerie: History, Terms, and Some of Our Favorite Vintage Lingerie Designers

What is the difference between a chemise and a camisole? What lingerie pieces from bygone eras have influenced some of the greatest designers of the 20th and 21st centuries? Did you know the Wonderbra was invented in the 1940s? What was the flapper’s bra of choice under Roaring Twenties fashion? With over 30 years working with vintage textiles, Lisa (founder and co-owner of Modig, a luxury vintage clothing store in Portland, Oregon) explores answers to these questions and more about the most intimate apparel! The history of lingerie, undergarments, sleepwear and shapewear is deeply tied to the history of women, and is cyclical in how it continues to progress. The corset transforms from a garment of confinement to a symbol of strength and empowerment, as brassieres and shapewear are ever becoming more about the comfort of women.
