The History of Shapewear

The history of womens shapewear is long and bumpy. Most of the time, womens shapewear was used to mold women’s figures into an aesthetically pleasing hourglass shape. The more modern versions of seamless shapewear still provide support for female figures and can improve posture, and focus less on molding the body.

Beginning with the corset, in the mid 16th century, Catherine de’Medici banned wide waists at court. Early corsets were called stays and were produced with whalebone, wood, or metal, and varied according to fashion. At first, they were reserved for the aristocracy, but by the beginning of the 19th century, this form of body shapewear was available for everywhere.

These corsets laced in the front and lengthened or shortened according to whatever fashion was popular at the time. Corsets became one of the first mass produced female garments. Tight lacing continued, however, well into the 20th century.

The girdle took the corset’s place in the 20th century along with the elastic brassiere. By the 1930’s, brassieres were mass produced and shapewear became more focused on the torso. Most womens shapewear today is seamless shapewear, and works to support certain parts of the body, rather than conforming it to aesthetic ideals.

Legwear for Kids!

Memoi is here for all your body shapewear and support tights needs. In fact, we have all the womens shapewear you could want. But children need fashion tights too. That being said, it’s time to take a look at girls footless tights, and foot- full tights.

Memoi has many different styles for girls. Herringbone, argyle, plaid, ivy print, and diamonds look great. There are even seasonal collections.

You can give them as presents, or you can bond with your daughter through a virtual shopping trip.

There are even options for boys too. Of course, they’re not tights, but there are some chic socks that will make your young man look dapper. Different colors range from black and grey argyle, to green, socks with a crest, socks with a dotted line, and ribbed socks.

And last, but not least, there is body shapewear for ladies too. But you already knew that. With Memoi, you can shop for the entire family (just don’t tell your husband that he’s wearing boy’s socks).

Seamless Shapewear for All Body Types

Panty lines are not very attractive. It’s much better to wear seamless shapewear that doesn’t reveal panty lines, while keeping your body looking firm and tight. High waisted fashion tights support your legs and thighs, firm your tummy, and keep your bottom high and tight. The high waisted thong seamless shapewear has a comfort thong back, while in the front the tummy panel firms, supports, and smoothes your entire stomach.

The bralette is the perfect piece of womens shapewear for a smooth silhouette for a no show shaping under even the clingiest tops. This will help you feel confident and perky with the support you want. It’s tagless, and it helps you stay in place with the perfect combination of enhancement and shaping.

Our maternity thigh shaper seamless shapewear is for the soon to be mother who needs extra help with the pressure of motherhood. Tummy panel with under belly support gives your belly upward support along with your bottom. Your thighs will look good too as they stay firm and comfy.

Everyone is different, but seamless shapewear can help you feel comfortable and beautiful with a simple design that supports you no matter what type of body you have.

Must Have Socks For Summer

I’m a longtime www.MeMoi.net user for body shapewear and fashion tights. But with the warmer weather coming soon, I think it’s time to buy some socks to wear with shorts. I mean fashion tights are great and all, but when it’s really hot, I don’t want to feel constricted – I want to let the sun shine on my skin, soak in that Vitamin D, and feel happy that the warm weather has finally arrived.

So while browsing for some socks on my favorite site for body shapewear, I found an Eco section with products made from organic materials like bamboo and cotton. They come in black and green and blue. I picked up a few pairs – because you can never have too many socks, between them losing their mates and getting holes in the toes eventually – and now I feel a bit more prepared for the summer, and like I’m helping the environment by buying organic.

Until it really heats up, I can wear these knee high bamboo fashion tights with a skirt and heels and look great. These ankle socks are really comfortable with sneakers and jeans and are very breathable. It’s no surprise that www.MeMoi.net has come through for me again – they always do.
