It is very interesting for me that red was popular color for Victorian 
and post-Victorian woman’s underclothes.

I think (I'm guessing here) it has to do with wool. Red has always been a good 
color for wool because the red dye they used takes so well and, if I remember 
correctly, it only took a few steps to get a rich fast color. Dark blue did 
this with wool also, but I am unaware of any blue underthings.
