Fashion - 1970s. From bloomers to briefs. Bloomers, droopy drawers, passion killers, knickers, panties, briefs - no matter what they have been labelled in the past 100 years, women's unmentionables have always done vital undercover work in the wonderful world of fashion,. Demure or daring, naughty or nice practical or fun, all these things have had their place in this century of undie-wear. There were baggy bloomers and rib-crusher corsets of the 1880s which hoisted bosoms to wondrous heights and made a girl think twice about sitting down. Next came the excruciating waist-nippers of the 1900's that had maidens striving for an 18-inch middle and dropping like flies in a faint to get one. On to the high-kicking 1920s and it was boop-boop-a-doop elasticated knicker-legs and down with the bust in a flat-as-a- pancake bra. Come 1940 things were looking decidedly sexy with saucy oo-la-la camiknickers that made mum fear her daughter would catch her death of cold. Then in the 60s the squeeze was on bottoms with wriggle-on roll-ons that were the despair of every enthusiastic bottom-pincher. And finally we come to 1977 and the freedom-loving liberated girls who have made brief-is-beautiful the rule of the day. 1977 keeping down to the bare essentials. November 1977
