Underwear, the Fashion History by Alison Carter Pdf

This book looks at underwear in general from 1490, and in some depth over the last 150 years, highlighting women's underwear, which is perhaps the most intriguing, certainly the most variable. Reference to men's and children's is mainly limited to brief notes on specific innovations, particularly those with a bearing on developments in women's underwear. Stockings and tights are only briefly mentioned as they do not quite qualify as under (i.e. hidden) garments. For each of three 50-year periods, from 1840 to 1990, the book looks at the image "outside in"---that is, the fashionable silhouette, and what layers were needed beneath to sustain this; then at the reality, "inside out"---with an analysis of the actual clothes, fabrics, design and decoration: and finally at the context, "round about" which focuses on reminiscences of wearing, and developments in the industry. These last sections also give details bout making, cleaning and mending, together with notes on buying and selling.--Introduction.

Underneath It All by Amber J. Keyser Pdf

For most of human history, the garments women wore under their clothes were hidden. The earliest underwear provided warmth and protection. But eventually, women's undergarments became complex structures designed to shape their bodies to fit the fashion ideals of the time. In the modern era, undergarments are out in the open, from the designer corsets Madonna wore on stage to Beyoncé's pregnancy announcement on Instagram. This feminist exploration of women's underwear reveals the intimate role lingerie plays in defining women's bodies, sexuality, gender identity, and body image. It is a story of control and restraint but also female empowerment and self-expression. You will never look at underwear the same way again.

A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken by Hannah Holt Pdf

Packed with information, hilariously but accurately (well...except for the chickens) illustrated, Hannah Holt and Korwin Briggs' A History of Underwear with Professor Chicken is sure to wedge its way into the annals of history-based picture books. From Paleolithic loincloths to Henry VIII's wives wearing underwear on their heads to Mary Walker, a civil war surgeon who was arrested for wearing men's underwear and clothing to better work on patients, this book surveys the vast and fascinating history of our most private clothing. Modeled by chickens, we trace the history of underwear from the very first discovery- a paleolithic nomad whose body was found completely preserved in ice. From there, we look across time and culture in this completely accessible, new take on boring old nonfiction picture books.

A Peep Into The Past by Marian Medd Pdf

This illustrated History has been put together to allow the viewer a peep into the past of the many changes in women’s under fashions which have taken place from the early decades of the 20th century to the first decade of the 21st century. With the exception of drawings of under fashions from the early part of the 20th century, which I I sourced from fashion magazines, and vintage shops in London and Napier New Zealand. The illustrations from the late 1950s to 2000 have been sourced from my own memory and experience. I worked for many decades selling lingerie and under fashions in the retail industry, including experience gained from running and buying for my own Lingerie Boutique for several years. This shop was situated in Napoleon Street Cottesloe, Western Australia. I still have in my possession original drawings depicting nightwear and underfashions which were used for advertising purposes in the West Australian newspaper. Also Calenders given to me by Triumph International; these were used to advertise their wonderful undergarments. All of the above have been an invaluable source for me to refer to. When I commenced creating the pen and ink drawings for this book I wanted to present the garments with as much authenticity as memory and sources allowed; at the same time using my artistic license to present them somewhat tongue in cheek, with the hint of the risqué to make it a much more fun experience for the viewer to enjoy. I have featured in some of the drawings a few examples of the changes over the decades to the style of underwear/nightwear that men wore to illustrate that their fashions also underwent a similar evolution. Today many fashions, Swiss cotton, viyella and some of the fi ne quality silks and wools have become too expensive to use in the production of fi ne lingerie. When the idea came to me to create this “Peep into the Past” it was important for me to record by drawings, some of these wonderful garments which I derived so much pleasure not only from wearing, but also from the experience of selling and handling over the decades many beautiful garments and fabrics.

Unmentionables by Elaine Benson,John Esten Pdf

In ancient Greece, women strapped lengths of cloth across their breasts and then covered them with tunics. These bosom protectors were the antecedents of the brassiere, which didn't come along until the 20th century. With the use of fine art, photography, film stills, cartoons, and ads, Unmentionables describes the social history of a subject that holds a powerful fascination for us all. 120 full color and b&w illustrations.
