As for the "bikini underpants" business, I learned about their being a male item after I blogged about them a few years ago (due to reader comments).

You can see pictures of the needlelace and the sprang at these links:<br />http://www.uibk.ac.at/urgeschichte/projekte_forschung/textilien-lengberg/index.html.en<br />http://www.medievalhistories.com/medieval-lingerie/<br />Nutz described the sprang as being between the cups of some bras. Hence, the bra size of the garments could not be estimated, as it provided some stretch and size adjustment.<br /><br />Re. the "bikini pants", Nutz unequivocally stated at that meeting that they were men's. The University of Innesbruck also lists them as men's underwear here:<br />http://www.uibk.ac.at/urgeschichte/projekte_forschung/textilien-lengberg/medieval-lingerie-from-lengberg-castle-east-tyrol.htmlMiriamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07941566213672427040noreply@blogger.com
