NounSingular lingerie Plural uncountable lingerie (uncountable)
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Lingerie is a term for fashionable and alluring women's undergarments. It derives from the French word linge, "washables" — as in faire le linge, "do the laundry" — and ultimately from lin for washable linen, the fabric from which European undergarments were made before the general introduction of cotton from Egypt and then from India. While the term in the French language applies to all undergarments for either gender, in English it is applied specifically to those women's undergarments designed to be visually appealing or erotic, typically incorporating materials such as Lycra, nylon (nylon tricot), polyester, satin, lace and/or silk and not applied to functional cotton undergarments. It is commonly pronounced in English with a faux French pronunciation (such as LONJ-er-ee in British pronunciation or lonj-er-AY in American pronunciation). The concept of lingerie being visually appealing was a development of the later nineteenth century. 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 before the invention of the crinoline 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 glamorize lingerie and the idea of lingerie having a sexual appeal slowly developed. The lingerie industry has expanded in the 21st century with designs that double as outerwear. The French refer to this as 'dessous-dessus' which basically means innerwear as outerwear. The boutique Faire Frou Frou, which is an antiquated phrase meaning "show it off", heralds this philosophy by categorizing lingerie as an accessory with details such as straps and lace trim that should be layered and shown as part of one's outerwear.

GNU Free Documentation License Any suggestions for a catchy lingerie party name? Q. I am throwing a lingerie party for my 21st birthday and I need a catchy name. The only problem is, I have a lot of guys coming and some girl-friends that aren't comfortable in lingerie, so I need a party title that is catchy, but not strictly lingerie. At any rate, it needs to be sexy! Thanks! Asked by Chelz - Sun Jul 6 16:26:15 2008 - - 8 Answers - 0 Comments A. How about a Lady of The Night party...where all the girls dress as them ( lady's of the night ) and the men dress as John's or pimps??? )) I went to a party like that years ago and it was so much fun !! that way the Lady's can dress as sexy or non sexy as they like and not feel too uncomfortable!! My husband wore a dress shirt with messy tie and boxers ( like he just got done with a 'fun time " and I dressed like a 'classy prostitute' ( if there's such a thing _) Answered by MissMonk - Sun Jul 6 16:48:41 2008 What kind of lingerie do guys prefer on the wedding night? Q. My fiance' and I are both virgins and are waiting until our wedding night to have sex. I have lots of *cough* slutty lingerie for later on the honeymoon, but I'm thinking of something longer and elegant for the wedding night. Is that too "old"?

Q. My girlfriend loves to shop for lingerie/underwear with her friends, the more friends the better, and try them on in front of one another! Do most women like to do this also, and is this something that happens normally among women of all ages? Is this as fun for women as drinking a pint and watching a football match with the guys? Asked by Kirby29000 - Fri Jun 13 17:06:57 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. I don't know the answer to this because as a male cross dresser I don't have any female friends to go lingerie shopping with but if I did I would definitely go with a crowd because it is lonely shopping on your own and sometimes you do make bad fashion choices that might have been avoided if you'd had a friend there to advise you. Anyway, shopping for undies is a fun girly experiece that's meant to be shared x Anyone reading this that wants to meet up for a shop please contact me xxx Answered by Sarah M - Fri Jun 13 18:36:59 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "lingerie" See also:
