As early as ancient China, the earliest linen cloth has been woven, its density is 10 pieces/cm, but at that time the underwear was no different from the outer garment, just the primitive body covering, warmth. 4,000 years ago, linen cloth has reached 24 pieces/cm, with the spread of the ancestor's silk weaving technology, the underwear is increasingly different from the function of the outer garment, called the bandeau and the belly wrap, etc. From the tulle low-cut embroidered shirt in "Hairpin Lady", we see the "profane clothes" of women in the Tang Dynasty; The women of the Song Dynasty in "The Legend of the West Chamber" have a bandeau wrapped around the belly, a young belt around the neck, and a rhombus to cover the chest. It was not until the end of the Qing Dynasty that Western corsets were truly interpreted on the Chinese woman's body shape.
The corset was first produced in ancient Rome. In the 16th century, there were corsets made of iron and wood, and women at that time could be said to be incomplete. Until the Crusades, with the development of textile technology, at the end of the 16th century, whale fashion, steel wire, rattan and other corsets began to be used. In the thirties of the 16th century, the fashion weapons of the time were garters, tights and skirts, which shows the importance that Westerners attached to underwear. The understanding of its function is not only to cover the body and keep warm, but more to shape the curves of the body. Lingerie is also very intricately designed, and wearing a piece of underwear can take several hours. By the imperial period (1804-1825), the corset had become simplified.
During the Bussel period (1870-1890), underwear became more and more elaborately made, with lace, silk, and tulle being fully used, but the body-shaping requirements for underwear were gradually diluted, as the weft wire in the corset was found to be harmful to the human respiratory tract. In 1900, Charlotte had a health corset. In 1907, the shackles on the waist were loosened. By 1910, underwear should be positioned 10-40 cm below the hip line. With the widespread use of elastic fabrics in clothing, underwear is becoming more and more comfortable and easy to wear. In the 40s of the twentieth century, strapless bras became popular.

The design is bolder and more revealing, making women more beautiful.
