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.

    • There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...
    • So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
    • I thought I noticed the shop being redecorated the other day when I passed. Also the old Romeo Jones had some works going on, I think 
    • Leon came to sort out a lighting issue for us last week.  He quickly diagnosed the problem and gave clear, detailed advice about how to avoid in future.  Would highly recommend him.
