Chapter 90

"what?"

Bai Qiaolan was a little confused.

Bai Ying had no choice but to sort out her words, gesturing with her hands, "It's just that it can cover this part, without revealing that thing... you know!"

After Bai Ying's verbal description and detailed explanation of the actions, Bai Qiaolan finally understood and her face turned red.

Bai Ying had already anticipated Bai Qiaolan's reaction.

Unlike later generations, when there were so many different types of bras, the trend evolved from underwires to push-ups, and then gradually shifted to comfort and naturalness. Seamless bras, nipple covers, and sports bras became popular. People in this era were more conservative, and because of the decade, all industries stagnated, including clothing, and women's underwear was primarily simple.

Today's women's underwear is still the Soviet-style bras from the 1950s. In order to pursue strength and durability, the material is very thick, but because Soviet women's skeletons are generally thicker than Chinese women's, they are loose when worn and can't really provide any support.

Therefore, people in China choose to wear unlined vests made of cotton cloth. The style is relatively rigid and does not have any shaping effect. It is mainly used to prevent bulges. This type of underwear was not gradually eliminated until the reform and opening up in the 1980s.

Not only is underwear extremely expensive these days, but the area in the supply and marketing cooperatives that sells underwear is also very small. Everyone is embarrassed when communicating with the salesperson, so only a few people can actually wear underwear these days.

If you don’t buy anything, what should you wear?

Farmers were not very particular and most of them did not wear underwear. Young girls who were shy would tie their breasts with white cloth. They would buy a few feet of white cloth, cut out a collar, and remove the sleeves to make underwear. The underwear would be quite tight because people these days were more likely to be average in size. If it was too big, they would be embarrassed, fearing that they would be labeled as something bad.

Bai Ying only has one piece of underwear, which she bought two years ago when she was in high school in the county. She doesn't have an extra change of clothes, so she can only wear thicker clothes before they are dry. But it is still very embarrassing when she moves. She could make do with this kind of life for the first two years, but after she became an adult and her body began to develop again, it was really hard to make do with it.

Bai Ying had money to buy underwear, but she really didn't want to go to the supply and marketing cooperative and be looked down upon by the salespersons again, which made her look like an indecent woman if she spent money on underwear.

In that case, it’s better to do it yourself.

Bai Ying still had some unused cotton cloth, but it wasn't enough to make clothes, so she decided to use it to make underwear.

In order to help Bai Qiaolan better understand her ideas, Bai Ying also drew a picture, designing the underwear style into a short spaghetti-shouldered vest with an elastic band at the bottom, a lining inside, and buttons on the back, which can provide a certain degree of support while also preventing leakage.

Because it was made based on Bai Ying's measurements, it was considered a custom-made item, so it should be very close-fitting. Sure enough, when Bai Qiaolan finished sewing it, Bai Ying couldn't wait to try it on. Not only was it very close-fitting, but because of the lining, it also perfectly highlighted her breasts, making it even more difficult to look away. Even Bai Qiaolan, a girl, felt a little embarrassed to look at it.

Bai Ying happily hugged Bai Qiaolan, "Sister Qiaolan, you are just like my real sister! If you want to use the sewing machine in the future, just tell my mother and come to my room to use it yourself."

"How can I feel embarrassed?" Bai Qiaolan blushed.

She also wanted to make a pair of underwear for herself. Because she was older than Bai Ying, her body was more developed and it was painful if she didn't wear underwear. Sometimes when she went out, she would attract the attention of young men, which was very unfriendly to her as she was already shy.

However, her frame is bigger than Bai Ying's, so the underwear will require more fabric. Plus, she doesn't have as much fabric as Bai Ying can use. If she really wants to make it, she will have to go back and find a way to get some.

Bai Ying smiled brightly, "What kind of friendship do we have? We've been friends since we were little, right? What's wrong with me lending you the sewing machine? But just so you know, don't use it to sew for grandma, your father, or your brother."

To be on the safe side, Bai Ying still said the ugly words in advance.
