While there aren't as many vintage lingerie videos as there are for, say, "regular" fashion, I thought these 12 were worth a look. By the 1930s there was a vogue for bias-cut clothes and material cut like this tended to elongate the figure and lingerie became slinkier and more figure-hugging. Whilst smaller “panties” started to become popular into the 1950s and 1960s, the French Knicker style still prevailed and I currently have an amazing collection of 1960s nylon knickers from iconic lingerie label “Vanity Fair” in the traditional wide-legged “shorts” style, in eye-popping bright citrus shades.

A teaser clip released by ITV shows the panel topless for the segment, only concealing their modesty with white dressing robes.

Other famous faces include Stacey Solomon, Nadia Sawalha and Saira Khan as the slogan reads: “A campaign to prove every body tells a story. By the 1920s, skirts had shortened to the knee, the body shape to aspire to was boy-like with no curves and fabric had become sheerer so lingerie styles progressed accordingly which is where our ‘French Knickers’ style comes in, alongside Camiknickers which combined the bodice and knickers into one garment. We'll star things off with a catchy tune courtesy of Ernst Lubitsch's 1931 film, The Smiling Lieutenant.

When I was young, many mature-aged women far out here in the country were only too eager to undress to their knickers, as I mentioned for the picture above.Look at all those women enjoying those big, sexy knickers, and I know exactly what they are really thinking, even if each of them would ‘deny everything’ if there was a man within a mile! Drawers” started to develop in the early 1800s and became widespread in the era of Victorian prudishness but were still not our familiar garments, rather they were separate legs, initially ankle length and attached at the waist, probably more about keeping your legs warm as fabrics became thinner and ensuring your naughty little ankles remained out of sight than anything else. Even aertex knickers were exciting at times, and they were on sale from me in a whole range of pantees and knickers styles.

I also discovered a while ago that undies of this style are generally referred to as “Tap Pants” in the States; when I first spotted this term in a vintage Facebook group (and believe me, people in vintage Facebook groups know their stuff! Ever since I was very young, a pair of directoire knickers (‘bloomers’ for those ladies who love that sexy word for their elastic-leg knickers) has never failed to get the rapt and excited attention of every woman I have ever known, and a lot of nice, sexy men, too. It's the last vintage video (but don't go away because there's one more video you'll want to see below)! when “big pants” are pretty essential and a nice pair of French Knickers is preferable to the Bridget Jones type!These resulted in many items being homemade and French Knickers alongside other lingerie would have been knitted, made from other discarded garments, or if you were lucky enough to snag a damaged parachute, then the “parachute silk” (actually a form of nylon) was wonderful for slips, knickers, nighties and indeed your whole honeymoon trousseau! During the Second World War, necessity became a big factor in how fashion evolved; material was rationed, the Utility scheme was introduced, and a pair of knickers would have cost you 3 clothing coupons.
