See how the undergarment called a teddie came to be the sexy lingerie item we know it to be today.
A teddie can be that perfect all rounder garment for those who like to be daring while treading on the cautions side. Especially if you are not familiar with buying lingerie or you are buying lingerie for your loved one. Teddies are a very flattering garment that suits many figures and is also available in a variety of styles and fabrics so you are guaranteed to find one that you like.
Teddies started out in the 1900’s as a loose fitting item of clothing that wasn’t as pleasing on the eye as the sexy teddies that we know today. They were mostly made from plain materials and looked more like a loose fitting babydoll with a piece of material that attached the front and back of the garment beneath the crotch making it into a teddie instead of a babydoll. Teddies were marketed under the name camiknickers during the 1920’s; the name was derived from camisole and knickers as they resembled a joined camisole and knickers. Camiknickers were worn by women during the second world ward when women served in the military and wore slaks instead of skirts. But became less popular as an undergarment by the late 1940’s.
Teddies started to become more popular as a sexy lingerie accessory during the 1980’s when teddies became a trendy undergarment made popular by celebrities. During this time period the teddie was no longer styled as a baggy undergarment and became a fitted, figure hugging garment that no longer had upper leg coverage as a standard feature. Basic materials were swapped for spandex that provided a durable material with many textures and colors enabling designers to create many different styles.
Today teddies are more popular than ever, not only as a practical foundation garment to give shape but also as a sensual and sexy lingerie item. With more styles to choose from than ever in history, there is no excuse not to have or get a sexy teddie for your partner.
