Sexy Camisoles A new trend in wearing camisole tops as outerwear is partly responsible for camisole sets enjoying a surge of

recent popularity. Camisole sets, like many sexy lingerie items, have a rich and varied history. Provided here is a brief

look at the history of camisole sets.Chemises Besides loincloths, chemises are perhaps the oldest known form of underwear for

both men and women. Historically, chemises were long, simple pieces that were worn underneath the clothes of both men and

women, beginning in the medieval era. Although chemises never really disappeared until the early 20th century, changing

fashions required variants on the chemise to be created. Perhaps the biggest changes in the history of lingerie occurred with

the rise of the corset.Of Corsets and Camisoles Corsetry began in the Renaissance period, when straight, boyish figures went

out of fashion and décolletage became the new ideal. Corsets of this era were fairly rudimentary and fit easily underneath

the chemises of the time. As corsetry became more elaborate and dress styles changed, however, it was necessary to find a

garment that would hide the corset without adding unwanted bulk. The solution was the camisole. Camisole sets, however, were

far in the future.By the Victorian era, a tiny waist and large bosom were considered the height of fashion. This effect was

achieved through the tight lacing of heavy corsets. However, traditional chemises were quite long, effectively hiding the

corset but adding the illusion of weight. The new camisoles, by contrast, were short and light. They easily hid corsets but

were not bulky. Camisoles quickly joined chemises as must-have fashion items. As modern panties had not yet been invented,

however, camisole sets were not yet available.Teddies Thanks to the increasing athleticism of young women at the turn of the

20th century, bloomers became extremely popular. Meanwhile, corsets were no longer in fashion due to mounting concerns over

possible health risks. In this climate, the teddy was born. Teddies could be considered the earliest example of camisole

sets. At that time, teddies were one-piece garments featuring a camisole attached to a pair of baggy shorts.The 1920s The

flapper era of the 1920s was a time for increased liberation for many women. This era marks the beginning of the sexy

lingerie age. As teddies became shorter, tighter and sexier, some designers experimented with separating the two pieces. This

was the beginning of modern camisole sets.The 1930s to the 1980s Sexy lingerie styles gradually became progressively more

risqu, particularly during the sexual revolution of the 1960s and 1970s. However, it was the heady aftermath of the sexual

revolution that would dramatically change lingerie styles forever.The 1980s Stars like Madonna ushered in a new trend -

underwear as outerwear. For the first time, lingerie came out of the bedroom and onto the world stage. This underwear as

outerwear trend set the stage for the camisole sets of today.Modern Camisole Sets Today, camisoles are a basic staple in the

wardrobes of females from teens to adults. Camisole tops and matching panties are generally sold as camisole sets. The

panties may remain hidden, but increasingly, the tops are designed to be worn as outerwear. A typical camisole top serves

multiple functions. It can be worn alone with jeans or a skirt. It can provide an interesting layered effect when worn under

a sheer top of a contrasting colour. It can also provide an important layer when dressing for cold weather.Many of today's

camisole sets are designed strictly for the bedroom. Look for sexy lingerie styles in a wide range of fabrics, styles and

colours. Soft and comfortable yet highly sexy, camisole sets offer a wonderful option for sexy lingerie.
