Ann Summers Knicker Party


Knickers in the 19th Century


Women did not wear knickers until about 1800. Until then the only underwear women wore was a long garment like a nightie. It was called a chemise or a shift. From the Middle Ages men wore linen shorts but until the end of the 18th century it was not considered seemly for women to wear undergarments apart from a chemise. However after about 1800 women also wore drawers. Sometimes they came to below the knee or sometimes they were longer garments with frills at the bottom called pantalettes. However by the 1830s only girls wore pantalettes. Women wore drawers.


Today we still say a pair of knickers or a pair of panties. That is because in the early 19th century women's underwear consisted to two separate legs joined at the waist. They really were a 'pair' of knickers.

I don't personally sell them! Someone from the ann summers company brings a few things to show the guests & people can order from the catalogue, called a party because you have food, drink & a good time! Play games, have a laugh! Sounds like many of you don't know what it is

What can you expect when you open with "I know this is a bit weird..." Maybe you should have started with Tupperware and worked your way up.

    • Our cat Booboo has been missing since early Sunday morning (09 March).   He's a three-year-old male cat with black fur (short).    He's recognisable from having very big feet - I think about two extra toes on each paw.   He's very nervous of strangers and doesn't go out the front of our house - he mainly hangs out in the back gardens on our block (Goodrich/Barry/Friern Road).   If you spot him please let us know (07771915355).

    • That's useful, thank you - I've got a Primark near my work. Primark is (perhaps surprisingly) also one of the most diligent when it comes to labour rights in the supply chain, and I have to say the bits I've had from there have been quite good quality and lasted a long time. But otoh it's still fast fashion I suppose.
