Watch How Lingerie Has Shrunk Over The Past 100 Years | HuffPost Life

Sexy!

By

Senior Reporter, HuffPost

In the past 100 years, lingerie has undergone quite an evolution. From humble utilitarian beginnings, these delicate, sensual items of clothing now have entire fashion shows dedicated to them.

Thanks to a new video from Mode, you can watch lingerie as it changes throughout the decades (there's even a 1960s bra-burning moment!) It's also interesting to note that while some styles may look outdated and old-fashioned, others items look very similar to what's in stores today.

But most of all -- make sure to stay tuned for the ending. It's an important reminder that no matter what lingerie you're wearing, confidence is what's truly sexy.
