Secondly, up until the mid 1900's no one bought lingerie to be seen in it. Much less thought of lingera as visually appealing or erotic. Lingire served only one purpose - functionality. It wasn't til the 1960's when major lingerie companies started marketing lingere as being visually appealing and erotic. These companies and their size 6 models made the industry what it is today.
