It is very interesting for me that red was popular color for Victorian
and post-Victorian woman’s underclothes. Before WWII, red was the most
popular color for woman’s underclothes (that don’t touch the skin) for
Kimono.

Russians have considered red as a "woman's "Colorado, and was good luck for
special garments/occassions. I don't know if that has an impact.

Red flannel was believed to be warmer, I believe, maybe because of the
color. Or maybe flannel originally only came in red, so the tradition was
established that way.

This topic is really interesting. My great grandmother, post Victorian
and
a very conservative dresser, wore a red winter petticoat. I believe it was
flannel. When I was young I though that it was amazing and wanted one of
my
own. I wonder how ideas and colors of underpinnings have changed.

Grandmother was a tee totaling Methodist and not wild in the least. She
did
bake an excellent sugar cream pie and smelled like Lavendar.
