Jan. 25th, 2019 11:23 pm Snippet from a 1892 sewing book:
"The first law that should govern underwear is purity, and dyes even of the best quality do not give this nor do garments dyed even in the most delicate shades of color suggest purity. The fad at one time prevailing of entire suits of black underwear was certainly revolting and anything but wholesome."
Well, that is one rule that, now that I know it exists, I am going to break as soon as possible. With glee. Probably cackling the whole way through sewing a pair of all-black drawers. With a matching chemise, of course. Hell, maybe I'll make the combinations that I need to have for a Future Secret Project out of black batiste, with black lace trim and red ribbon accents.
