The difference between what we call lingerie, underwear and corsetry, is almost nil, since practically their function is the same, their original purpose is quite different from each other.
We have to go back to the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece, where the use of underwear was mainly functional. In paintings of some Egyptian tombs we can see pharaohs wearing socks to protect themselves from the sand. We can also appreciate it in Greek vase paintings, in which female athletes appear with their breasts tied with straps. One of the first bra prototypes used by the Romans was the strophium.
In the Middle Ages they began to wear simple linen clothes under their dresses to protect their expensive suits, and in turn they gave warmth to the body. Little by little it evolved, forming a fundamental piece in clothing.
Most of the underwear is of modern invention. Panties, for example, emerged in the 19th century, because until then, it seemed unhealthy for women to wear something under skirts other than just petticoats.
When the contraceptive pill was launched on the market, sexual freedom was reflected in lingerie, highlighting even more the sensuality of the female figure. It has only been during the last century that lingerie has changed dramatically.
When we talk about lingerie, we are not talking about any type of clothing, but about garments that show greater delicacy, femininity and sensuality than others. While the corsetry is focused on comfort, made with more basic materials and shapes. The main characteristic of these garments is that they are basic and very simple to provide well-being to women.
