History of lingerie in short

§ August 18th, 2011 § Filed under General Comments Off

1907: American Vogue showed a boned brassiere with, wait for it… no division between the breasts. Little strange of our times. Even stranger, it was actually worn over the corset.
1913: First modern bra designed, with two lacy hankerchiefs. Sold patent to a Mr Warner whom she had met at a garden party.
1918: Corset-makers were running up bras designed to flatten rather than enhance. Didn’t work, they were ignoring the fact that curves are much more alluring than flatness.
1925: First bras to have divisions between the breasts and adjustable straps. Comfort at last.
1938: Acknowledging that breasts did not come in standard sizes, bra-makers introduced A,B, C and D cups. Yep it toke a while to get this common size we know.
1940: Padding was first sneaked into bra cups. It was a deceptive and manipulative move. To this day, not one male has complained.
1950s: Better design. Strapless bras so women were now able to wear an off-the-shoulder dress and still use a bra.
1959: Material of Lycra was produced, which has been seen in lingerie since.
1965: The no-bra bra was introduced to give support with a nothing-under effect. The design has now advanced, with different styles and materials.
1973: The first no-bounce sports bra was introduced.
1980s: Victoria’s Secrets become national icons. Ordering from online lingerie stores started.
1990s: The Internet is filled with sites that feature lingerie online stores.
2000: Lingerie keeps advancing with different styles, designs.
Online lingerie advances in what it can offer, for online experience. Women and men use lingerie more in everyday life.

What you need to know when buying lingerie online

§ August 18th, 2011 § Filed under General Comments Off

Some people are a little weary about buying lingerie online. There are reasons for this, such as not trusting credit card details online, not sure whether the lingerie will fit them, not wanting their neighbors knowing they purchased lingerie when it arrives in the post.

These and other reasons can be overcome by reading a information provided on the site and confirming its a reputable company.
Firstly, do a test run of the site. Add an item to the cart. Your not buying this lingerie item, just checking the URL (where it says http://wwww.sitename.com.countrysite). If it doesn’t change to https//: (note the ‘s’), it’s not a secure site.

Secondly, sizes. The site MUST show a size chart somewhere on their site. If they don’t, makes it harder to know what the actual size of the lingerie is. This can be hidden away, as it will only be a chart, with measurements etc. Wont be a sizable part of the site.

Thirdly, delivery. Delivery should be within the week. 1-5 days, anymore, and your probably ordering lingerie from overseas. Support your country! Unless your saving heaps of money and don’t mind waiting weeks, the delivery fee of $9 and up will probably cut down those savings.

Therefore, buying local has it advantages, The delivery time is quicker, and the packaging is usually more professional, so people don’t know your buying lingerie or any adult products. If need to return it, this is alot easier too. Some countries don’t have return policies. So the savings you’ve made aren’t savings.

Check the delivery details on the site. These should be noted. If you have any questions, ring the company to confirm details.

Lastly, payment. Online lingerie stores should have at least 2 payment types, visa, mastercard, AMEX, BPAY, Cheque, Money Order, and other online systems like Paypal.
The more they have, the better payment system they have (as long as all work), and the company is reputable. Check all contact details, address, phone, email for this.

There you go, brief but vital points on what you need to know when buying lingerie online.

How to Search for Lingerie on a Lingerie site

§ August 13th, 2011 § Filed under General Comments Off

Sounds simple, just go the site and pick lingerie. For people that know lingerie, females, this is simple. Females know what the styles are and what all the names like “Chemises” and “Babydolls” are. Men dont.

Spend time, use the menu, or drop down menu to go the different styles, colors, prices. See what is available. Once you see something familiar, there will most likely be a range of this style or design. If you know a bit more of what your looking for, sites have an advanced search to narrow down your selection.

From browsing many lingerie sites, and looking at the design and features, the best way to understand lingerie and how its presented on a website is simple navigate through the site. Find words you know, bra and panties, then scroll down menus and see what else there is.

You might go, ahhh that’s what a chemises is, yeah I’ve seen that before. Then you can start looking at the different materials, like lace, and mesh.

If the site has range of lingerie, and with online store, they should, breakdown the site. It may look a little complex to begin with, but most are designed for ease of use.

Menu on the right hand side might list the different styles of lingerie they sell. Click on each link, look at the photos. Top bar might have broader categories like swimwear or leather. Click on these links to see what available.

You can usually understand a site within 10 minutes of scrolling through it, less when you know about menus, and less when your familiar with lingerie phrases.

That short description you saw when you clicked on the search result, saying ‘Browse through our collection….you’ll find sexy lingerie your looking for’, its hinting something.

Online Shopping for Lingerie – Part 2

§ August 13th, 2011 § Filed under General Comments Off

The variety of clothing sizes available in online shopping is a great advantage. Due to relationships with a variety of brands and suppliers, online stores can offer all sizes available for the lingerie item.
Some stores specialize in items such as plus size lingerie, as they are targeting a specific market within the lingerie industry, others simply offer a broader range of sizes. Either way, this is a particular advantage for shopping for lingerie online, as size is a key factor in shopping for lingerie. Stores you can ‘walk in to’ simply cant hold the amount of stock required to offer this range of sizes.

One disadvantage of online stores, is there is no ‘sales person’ to give you advice on your purchase. However, this aspect is overcome by phone and email assistance, and the amount of product information available online. It’s no exactly like the sales person, but this way there’s no sales pitch, just information.

Online lingerie stores also have detailed product descriptions for each item. They offer a variety of colors in that item, with a variety of pictures and some even videos to help make your purchase, also adding to the online experience.

Delivery for online stores has come a long way. Now, as long as they ship within the same country, you can expect 2-3 days delivery for lingerie. Online stores either ship same day or next day, thus arrive within that week.
You can even pay for express delivery to be put at the front of the queue, and get express post.

Probably one of the most well known facts about online shopping, is the ‘Home environment’. Ability to compare prices without walking to different shops

Therefore shopping online for lingerie has been transformed or developed for easy of use, and providing consumers with a cost effective product tailored with a comparative range of lingerie.
