When you finally get your hands on the lightweight, stretchy, sheer, beautiful, sexy piece of your dreams, that fits perfectly, you look at the price tag, and know it will have to remain a dream.
Lingerie first became popular in the 1800s and was a sign of social status only affordable to a few.
It was designed by couturiers, hand-sewn using the fabric of your choice, and then your camisoles, corsets, petticoats, and peignoirs were delivered to your doorstep in a matter of weeks to months depending on the wait-list.
Nowadays with the click of a button we can order something for delivery the same or next day.
While lingerie was a sign of social status before, it does not necessarily mean that the cheap intimates we wear today are of lesser quality.
In fact, with the introduction of artificial fibres and artificial silks such as rayon in the 1920s, this pretty much revolutionised the way our intimates were being created. All of them are now marketed to be made out of luxury fabrics.
So, no matter where you get your affordable lingerie online remember that every item is considered a luxury piece.
So where should you go to buy the best lingerie for your body type at a reasonable price?
