BR 1-11: The Revealing Story of Underwear

Have you ever wondered what people used to wear under their clothes? I read The Revealing Story of Underwear. Centuries ago, people didn't wash other clothes often. A layer of under clothes kept their outer clothes slightly cleaner - though it didn't always disguise the smell of their sweaty bodies below. Underwear can also give a certain shape to clothes. Though history, fashions have changed from wide hips...to flat chests...to pointy breasts. Most of these shapes would be impossible without some special underwear. The story of underwear begins long ago, in the ancient lands of Egypt, Crete and Rome. And with more erectric washing machines in house since the 1960's, having clear underwear has never been so easy!
This is very interesting book.
