l...In fact, your take is correct, per Dictionay.com<br />lin·ge·rie [lahn-zhuh-rey, lan-zhuh-ree, -juh-; French lanzhuh-ree] <br />noun: 1.underwear, sleepwear, and other items of intimate apparel worn by women. 2.Archaic. linen goods in general.<br />adjective: 3.having the qualities of lingerie; lacy or frilly.<br />Origin: 1825–35; < French, equivalent to Middle French linge linen (< Latin līneus of flax; see line1 ) + -erie -ery<br /><br />As defined, lingerie includes sleepwear as well as undies.<br />The negligees worn in movies up through the 1970's are examples of what I think about when "lingerie" in mentioned, as well as matching sets of slips, bras, panties etc. But not too many of those ladies "sweated" (on purpose at least) and it is tough to see sports bras and performance undies in general in the same catergory. Sleepwear to most today is an ensemble of tee shirts and lounge pants-- it is not surprising that the items exhibited as current era lingerie would be edgy and provocative.Texas Urbanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13921506725496803946noreply@blogger.com
