From ‘stays’, to the ‘payre de bodies’ of Elizabethan days and down to its most notorious 18th – 19th century incarnations, these garments have remained hidden while helping to achieve a trim and shapely figure. While designed to give women the coveted ‘hourglass figure’, the pinnacle of aesthetic beauty in those days, these accessories were also notorious for discomfort, restricted movement and breathing.

  • Qualitative Observations on the Design of Sports Bras for Wear
    DesTech Conference Proceedings The International Conference on Design and Technology (2017), Volume 2017 Conference Paper Qualitative Observations on the Design of Sports Bras for Wear under Body Armour Sara Elizabeth Niemczyk, Lyndon Arnold, and Lijing Wang School of Fashion and Textiles, RMIT University, Brunswick, VIC 3056, Australia Abstract This paper presents the results of preliminary research designed to explore in depth the design, fit and comfort of selected sports bras for large breasted women worn under soft body armour. Female armed personnel need to feel safe and protected in soft armour vests, giving them physiological comfort to perform their duties daily. Troublesome physical and additional physiological problems in relation to the female body are frequently caused due to the poor design of various bra components. Different breast sizes require unique bras designs. Specifically, when it comes to plus-size breasts, all the difficulties of fitting are more evident. In general, retail bra designs are not overcoming the above-mentioned bra’s wear problems even before consideration of how they relate to be worn under the soft body armour. As breast size and shape vary greatly between individuals, the design of bra size and style are important. In addition, fit and comfort are the most important factors of concern to the customers. With an aim to achieve a perfect bra shape, fit and Corresponding Author: Lijing comfort, designers have a strong drive to develop a superior quality bra by properly Wang; email: [email protected] using components and materials with high performance.

  • SALON LINGERIE International
    PRESS RELEASE SALON International de la LINGERIE 23.24.25 January 2010 www.lingerie-paris.com © Valery Prestige © Wacoal Are the terms freedom and control a complete contradiction? Not necessarily Both terms conceal a single premise: that the boundaries of the body remain unknown to reason. A key trend this year reveals a desire to push back our bodies’ boundaries. Whether this involves control, performance and effort or relaxation, freedom and gentle movements. Ever more extreme sports are becoming widespread on the one hand, while relaxing and beautifying activities such as yoga and Pilates, etc. are increasingly popular ranslatingon thetrends other. From a design perspective, professionals are choosing the complex art their mode of expression and creating an infinite number t of femininity... of different versions. In lingerie terms, controlling the body is primarily a question of fabrics: satins, compact jerseys, optical lace, etc. The aim here is to sculpt, smooth and shape the body, offering hold without constraint. Beautifying the body in a sophisticated way, like Ritratti’s famous Star Cup or Valery’s lingerie coordinates in panne velvet and stiff lace. Parah spins a web around the hips and toys with lines, drawing on the body, as if in charcoal. Esbelt slims the waist with a net waist-cincher and tricks the onlooker with “buttock- enhancing” push-up pants. Selma smoothes the body in a one-piece with black strips. Wacoal proposes the Beauty Secret line which shapes and enhances the body line: leaving nothing to chance, it tackles hips, thighs, tummies... While the colour range for control and shapewear is somewhat understated, freer styles make the most of neutrals.
