Sexy Bras

Lingerie hasn’t always existed as we know it today. It wasn’t until the 1940s that the push up bra was even invented. Frederick Mellinger, inventor of the push bra, also invented the concept of undergarments as sexy. Prior to his arrival on the fashion scene, lingerie were simplte underwear or corsets. While there were other constructions, most were designed with modesty-not sexiness-in mind. Frederick Mellinger would go on to found Frederick’s of Hollywood, the world’s best know brand of exotic lingerie. Forget Victoria’s Secret, Mellinger is the man who put the sexy in lingerie. One of his earliest models was the burlesque queen herself, Bettie Paige. Bettie Paige helped, more than any other model, in the popularization of undergarments as sexy. Wearing Mellinger’s sexy bras and leather corsets made the fashion world wake up to the fact that they were ignoring the versatility of the traditional undergarment constructions. They learned to easiy change palettes and fabrics on the ld designs to make new and sexy nightwear.

Presently, there are thousands of Sexy lingerie brands to choose from. From Allure leather to Elegant Moments to the gorgeous garments put out by the Hong Kong Silk Company there are now choices for every consumer. The styles mimic trends and set some of their own. It’s quite chic these days to even wear a sexy Chemise-with jeans or leggings-as outerwear. What Frederick Mellinger should be remembered for-other than the push up bra- is the choice, that we all now possess, to pick out undergarments that aren’t modest! Underwear that makes you feel alluring and sends out the message that you mean business!
