History
The style of French underwear evolved from the drawers, long-legged trousers of the Victorian era, and probably derived from the lacy outfits worn by Parisienne Can-Can dancers, which existed from the late 1800s to early 1900s; France, but did not use the term. During the 1920s and 1930s, French pants were very popular, but in the 1940s and 1950s, pants were worn by most women; probably because of the lack of cloth and the scarcity of silk. In the 1950s, shorts worn were almost universally worn.
During the nostalgic revival of the 1970s, French trousers returned to fashion through the design of Janet Reger and others, and were very popular in the 1980s for specialty markets. The popularity of French underwear declined again during the 1990s as younger consumers showed a greater interest in other underwear styles, such as pants and ropes. They are still available today, and are most commonly found in vintage retailers and specialty retailers.
