UNDERWEAR THE FASHION HISTORY

Underwear the Fashion History by Alison Carter presents the history of the undergarment from modesty and vanity to titillation and arousal. The concept of wearing fabric to protect our intimate parts came around 5000 BC with cavemen and ancient Egyptians. In Austria, around 1991, archaeologists found in Egyptian tombs extra supplies of linen loincloths, some that indicated dignity, and in royalty cases, were believed to sustain Pharaohs and Queens to the afterlife. This book begins in the 1400's and brings us to the present. Out of Print. Condition: Very Fine.
