"The G-string, which was often sequined and rhinestoned, was a cultural marker of glamorous erotic entertainment. Non-professionals wore them for costumes or naughty private play, but generally not as underwear until Fredericks of Hollywood began to make a more wearable version of them available as underwear through their catalogs and stores."
