In the past 250 years, the outline of underwear, people's aesthetic standards and etiquette can be reflected in it.

< p > FIT > a href= "http://sjfzxm.com/news/index_cj.as" > Museum < /a > curator Colleen Hill points to a whale bra that was made in the middle of nineteenth Century, when the whale is used as a fitting in the middle of the front of the corset, and plays a role in fixing and straightening the wearer's body.

The corset was once regarded as a symbol of social status and identity.

< p > Colleen Hill also introduced the changing course of the bra's outline. With the coming of nineteenth Century, the women's underwear gradually tightens and softens gradually, such as the embroidered tassel pajamas on the exhibition and the small Collar Collars made in 1870 with Chinese customs.

In a sense, women's body has been liberated and liberated unprecedentedly, and has made women's underwear more diversified.
