Frederick's of Hollywood is considered the first mainstream lingerie brand made for the "average" women who wanted to feel sexy and luxurious.

The business was started by Frederick Mellinger ("inventor of the Rising Star push-up bra, the edible panty, and myriad garments whose chief attributes were that one could see through them and remove them quickly") Frederick's sold bras, panties, corsets, bedroom slippers, a vast array of hosiery, bridal lingerie, special occasion lingerie, and more. The original flagship store at 6608 Hollywood Boulevard was a landmark on Hollywood Boulevard in California.
