Answer 2

Lingerie is a term used for womans undergarments made of silk, lace and other fashionable materials. Pre 1960's lingerie had
only three purposes: use it to change shape, modesty or hygiene. The idea of using lingerie as a method to seduce or entice
your mate is fairly new, post 1960's. Now lingerie is used by woman and sometimes men for many different purposes.
Entertainers use it as a way to make a living. Models are paid to show off a designers originality. Newlyweds use lingerie for
a special first night. Some couples use lingerie to add spice to their bedroom relations. As lingerie becomes more accessible
and accepted there will be many more functions for these once "controversial clothings".

Answer 3

Lingerie is a term for women's fashion undergarments. It derives from the French word 'lin' for linen. While the term in the French language applies to all undergarments for either sex, in English it is applied only to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or ******, typically incorporating materials such as lace and silk, and not applied to functional cotton undergarments.

The concept of lingerie being visually appealing is relatively recent. Up through the first half of the 20th century women selected underwear for three major purposes: to alter their shape (first with corsets and later with girdles or bras), for reasons of hygiene, or for modesty. Women's underwear was often very large and bulky. As the 20th century progressed underwear became smaller and more form fitting. In the 1960s 'controversial' lingerie manufacturers such as Frederick's of Hollywood begin to glamourize lingerie and the idea of lingerie having a sexual appeal slowly developed.
