There have been many various designs and types of girdle in use during the previous 400 plus years. Women typically used these devices to contour their form to match societal ideals. During the 1600s 1700s 1800s and 1900s the girdle has indeed evolved in form, in the materials used in construction and in versatility. What has not changed all the much is its basic function: to assist in the re-shaping, re-sculpting and re-contouring of a women’s body to suit her needs. Now why on earth would women choose to use any type of garment or device to shape their physical bodies? For the most part that had to do a great deal with society’s ideals regarding what a woman’s bodily shape needed to be.
The best thing about today’s girdles and shapewears is the materials used in their construction. You may have just one material used or it is possible that a combination like Powernet mesh, Spandex and Lycra is used. These materials are soft yet strong and durable; lightweight yet able to firm and sculpt the body as needed. The combination of the aforementioned materials makes it possible to possess and use shapewears for quite a long period of time. It is the stomach, derriere and thighs that women seek to form and control.
Readers might choose to utilize girdles in tandem with butt lift jeans to affect the re-shaping of their stomach, rear and thighs. The materials spoken of in the previous section allowed for the changes and evolutionary pattern that the girdle progressed upon. For example the Powernet fabric used in these body shapers allows the body’s perspiration to be whisked away from the skin to evaporate into the air around us. This not only keeps the body cool, it allows the shaping of the body to progress nicely. The combination of Spandex – debuted in the latter 1990s – and Lycra added to the Powernet creates beautiful, durable well-designed garments.
