Beltbands and underwear are two different things. For ancient people, bellybands can be used to corset the chest. However, underwear is completely used as a corset for modern women. The person who invented underwear is the French. Designer Paul Poiret.
We all think that ancient women wore bellybands for fun, but in fact it was not the case. If you think of ancient women wearing clothes that were comfortable enough to take off their clothes, they had to take off several layers. Wearing a bellyband will naturally have the effect of binding the chest. But more importantly, it is to prevent the abdomen from catching cold. This is just like when we sleep at home in summer. No matter how hot the weather is, we will put a piece of quilt on the abdomen. The thin quilt is to prevent the abdomen from catching cold and getting sick. Ancient women were also very Pay attention to self-care. The kind of bellyband that covers the abdomen plays this role. There are generally two types of bellybands, one is placed on the chest and the other is placed on the waist. You will find that the styles of bellybands are different, and most of them are directly worn. Two threads extend from the back of the neck and are tied together, and two threads extend from the back of the waist and are tied together.
And earlier, bellybands were not differentiated between men and women. You will find that children will wear bellybands, which is actually equivalent to wearing clothes. Because children are relatively young and there is no so-called shame, so they usually wear bellybands. Use something like a bellyband to cover your body.
The invention of underwear was designed by a French designer. Before the European Renaissance, European women's bodies basically had no restrictions. Even the upper-class ladies at that time had to wear shirts. It is regarded as underwear, and those women of the lower class use small corsets and record the waistband on their chests to corset their chests. The prototype of the bra was actually invented by a man from Brooke, New York, but the real inventor of underwear now is the French designer Paul Bolet just mentioned.
At that time, this designer designed this bra in the name of freedom. In order to solve the current situation of European women and to reflect the equality of European women, she invented the bra. We can also imagine Although this item is considered a relatively private piece of clothing, it is indeed indispensable in life. If women don't have a bra, daily travel will be very inconvenient.
