Some were shocked. One said, “Helps in the dark? Mind blown!”
Another called the bow “dumb” but “interesting to know why.” And one confessed, “I always yank ’em off.”
Let’s see what that humble bow is all about.
A tip of the hat to tradition: The bow’s been around for ages, back when elastic was a no-go. In corset days, undies were tied with ribbon. The bow hid the knot and looked nice.
Getting dressed in the dark: Before lights, women dressed by candlelight or in the dark. The bow helped them spot the front. Handy in low light!
Tradition sticks: We’ve come far, but the bow stayed, now mostly for looks. It’s feminine and fun, and many love that classic charm.
So, that little bow? It’s got roots in practicality and tradition. Still cute and a nod to the past!
