Speaking of Unmentionables: The Rise and Fall of Ladies Underwear
Women's fashions are shaped, literally and figuratively, by their underclothes. Throughout history a woman's frame has not always been entirely her own. Delicate pieces of linen and lace, stiff corsets and sturdy hoops and bustles are fascinating to modern eyes. They are the unseen history of a past era. Modern contrivances are no less remarkable. Who in the world thought of control-top pantyhose? This novel and sometimes naughty presentation will unveil some myths about women's unmentionables. Elizabeth Carlson presents the program.
