“SCANTIES” - That’s what they called lingerie in the 1920’s. Before that the names were less sexy. “Drawers” “Bloomers”. The movies made deals with Paris fashion designers. Their creations were seen in films and film credits - increasing sales. In the 1920’s the “modern woman” was born. She wanted to look sexy “like naughty french girls do…”. Actresses like Clara Bow wore daring sleepwear in silent movies . By the 1930’s sound era? “Scanties” filled pre-code films.
Oh la la! Lingerie rules!

Fay Wray in King Kong (1933) -- note that Fay is not wearing a bra. Brassieres first became popular in the 1920s but really didn't become ubuiquitous until the mid thirties. As the depression progressed fashions became increasingly conservative. Skirts got longer, Boobs became constricted, colors became darker. By the way, in the tie-in novel released just before the movie was released and based on an earlier script, Ann Darrow ends up A LOT more naked than she does in the movie. The novel is well worth seeling out.
