Sexy Nightgowns...Which style to choose?

Nightgowns: Haute Couture ...au Bas Prix. Leave it to the French. The first modern garment that later eyes would recognize as a “nightgown” was a form-fitting, slender underdress that blurred the distinction between bedroom and boudoir. And leave it to the french to confuse the two: decades before the pill, Margaret Sanger and women's lib, the one nation on earth ready to embrace femininity in all its potent force was France. Seduction was scandalous–and sensuality, the slippery slope: but by the early 20s, France had come to terms with it, and the fashion of the age showed it. For centuries, nightgowns have made women embrace their sexuality and sensuality and it's a style that can't be ignore today.



The strategic way the fabric does so much with so little is evidence. The nightgown draws its power from being an embellishment of the body it conceals. But that simplicity provided for a different kind of equality too. Whereas before the 1920s in France, elegance was a luxury the masses couldn't afford, the nightgown was the game-changer. The unadorned chemises weren't costly, so the average femme française could indulge. And indulge they did. No, the nightgown isn't popular because of price alone; it never has been. But the sensual sensation it had and retains wouldn't have been so visible without it. And in this way, too, the nightgown stays faithful to its message. While competing products may cost a month's paycheck, the nightgown is the timeless exception.



With the holidays approaching, nightgowns can make for perfect gift ideas. Be more "French" and follow your sensual side for a wonderful piece of sexy lingerie. For men, this is an excellent gift to give. It's the gift that keeps on giving... If you get my drink. And your lover will agree. Not only will she look sexy, she will feel sexy. More importantly, she won't come to bed wearing old drab pajamas. She will slide into bed looking... well, hot.
