We owe the name “peignoir” to French fashionistas who performed their dressing in light clothes that did not hinder movement.. The word "peignoir" means "to comb the hair."
When did peignoirs appear?
Do not be surprised - The history of the peignoir goes back almost half a millennium! The oldest peignoir was the one that appeared in Venice in the 16th century, a woman’s robe called “rochetti”. A velvet or brocade seductive robe was worn by courtesans in the morning.
The Japanese morning kimono also became the prototype of modern oriental-style outfits.
Lace was an integral component of the historical peignoir, since only wealthy ladies could afford to wear it, and lace was always considered a sign of high wealth.
Half a century ago, flannel models were popular.
Materials
The basic requirement for fabric remains unchanged - a woman feels comfortable in clothes made from it: the fabric should breathe, be hypoallergenic and, preferably, hygroscopic.
The times of literally “cellophane” Chinese negligees are over! Low-quality fabric quickly pills, stretches, fades, and delivers other unpleasant surprises to its owner.
Natural and mixed fabrics are valued:
- silk;
- cotton;
- satin;
- viscose;
- crepe de Chine;
- organza;
- chiffon;
- thin cotton jersey.
Recently, fabrics containing bamboo fiber are increasingly used for sewing products.
The fabric should be pleasant to the touch, not electrified, and fall into beautiful folds. If it is lace, then without separate clinging threads.
Peignoir - a method of seduction
The peignoir has long been no longer associated with a simple nightgown.
Lace and transparent dresses they leave little room for the male imagination, they force a man to do what a woman needs.
Plain shiny or, on the contrary, matte floor-length models can make a queen out of a woman. She will behave accordingly!
A woman in a well-chosen underwear feels more confident.
Accessories and lingerie set accents and add chic to the look.
Stockings, garters, bras, bras, Different models of panties allow you to create any look.
Advice! Pay attention to the ready-made underwear sets that match the peignoir.

Peignoirs are divided according to their length on the:
- mini (end at mid-thigh);
- midi (ends near the knee);
