French Women And Their Underwear . . . OOOH LA, LA !

No one will call my book about France ordinary,
but then I do not expect the French to be ordinary, do you?

I've had this post stored in my drafts,
and thought it was time to share.

Paris has always been famous for their fashion . . .
whether it be dresses, costume, or lingerie. 

Bustles & Corsets
Oh, the things women do to look beautiful :)
Do you see the children hiding under her hoop skirt?
How hard do you think it was to sit down in them?

Look at those tiny waistbands.
My grandmother told me stories of her hanging on to the bedpost, 
while her sister would pull her corset stings :)
The French may have come up with this fashion,
but it spread around the world,
and was copied by manufacturers everywhere. 

I was fortunate enough to be a young adult when not wearing a bra was the fashion

(except for work and church of course).

Most of the time at home I do not wear one.

I can not imagine being harnessed into a corset each day.

So here's to the comforts of modern under garments,

may they live on through generations to come :)

 Well, this was another chapter in my Altered Book ~ All Things French.

A little bit history and a little bit everything else.
I hope you enjoyed.

Have a marvelous day, and stay comfortable :)
