Where does this bow come from?
Originally, panties didn’t have elastic and were tied to keep them in place. This method of fastening became standardized and even a symbol of social status.
The bow on underwear has a historical origin dating back to the 19th century. At that time, underwear became widely available in homes and was designed with a bow to adjust it to the body, similar to bodices or corsets.
Now you know, it might not be that useful, but I think it’s a lovely way to pay homage to the first women’s undergarments.
