== Typology == * '''[[Babydoll]]''', a short nightgown, or negligee, intended as nightwear for women. A shorter style, it is often worn with panties. Babydolls are typically loose-fitting with an [[Empire silhouette|empire waist]] and thin straps. * '''[[Basque (clothing)|Basque]]''', a tight, form-fitting bodice or coat. * '''[[Bloomers (clothing)|Bloomers]]''', baggy underwear that extends to just below or above the knee. Bloomers were worn for several decades during the first part of the 20th century, but are not widely worn today. * '''[[Bodystocking]]''', a unitard. Bodystockings may be worn over the torso, or they may be worn over the thighs and abdomen. * '''[[Bodysuit]]''', a one-piece form-fitting or skin-tight garment that covers the torso and the crotch. The design of a basic bodysuit is similar to a one-piece swimsuit and a leotard, though the materials may vary. * '''[[Bodice]]''', covers the body from the neck to the waist. Bodices are often low cut in the front and high in the back, and are often connected with laces or hooks. Bodices may also be reinforced with steel or bone to provide greater breast support.

Camisoles are typically constructed of light materials and feature thin [[spaghetti straps]]. * '''[[Chemise]]''', a one-piece undergarment that is the same in shape as a straight-hanging sleeveless dress. It is similar to the babydoll, but it is fitted more closely around the hips. * '''[[Corset]]''', a bodice worn to mould and shape the torso. This effect is typically achieved through [[Bone (corsetry)|boning]], either of bone or steel. * '''[[Corselet]]''', or '''merry widow''', combined brassiere and [[girdle]]. The corselet is considered to be a type of [[foundation garment]], and the modern corselet is most commonly known as a shaping slip. * '''[[G-string]]''', or '''[[thong]]''', a type of panty, characterised by a narrow piece of cloth that passes between the buttocks and is attached to a band around the hips. A G-string or thong may be worn as a bikini bottom or as underwear. * '''[[Garter (stockings)|Garter]]'''/'''Garter belt'''/'''Suspender belt''', used to keep [[stockings]] up. * '''[[Girdle (undergarment)|Girdle]]''', a type of foundation garment. Historically, the girdle extended from the waist to the upper thigh, though modern styles more closely resemble a tight pair of athletic shorts. * '''[[Hosiery]]''', close-fitting, elastic garments that cover the feet and legs. * '''[[Negligee]]''', a dressing gown. It is usually floor length, though it can be knee length as well. * '''[[Nightgown]]''', or '''nightie''', a loosely hanging item of nightwear, may vary from hip-length (babydoll) to floor-length ([[peignoir]]). * '''[[Nightshirt]]''', a shirt meant to be worn while sleeping. It is usually longer and looser than the average T-shirt, and it is typically made of softer material. * '''[[Panties]]''' or '''knickers''', a generic term for underwear covering the genitals and sometimes buttocks that come in all shapes, fabrics and colours, offering varying degrees of coverage. * '''[[Petticoat]]''', an underskirt. Petticoats were prominent throughout the 16th to 20th centuries. Today, petticoats are typically worn to add fullness to skirts in the [[Gothic fashion|Gothic]] and [[Lolita fashion|Lolita]] subcultures. * '''[[Pettipants]]''', a type of bloomer featuring ruffles, resembling petticoats. Pettipants are most commonly worn by square dancers and people participating in historical reenactment. * '''[[Thong|Tanga]]''', a type of panty featuring full back and front coverage, but string-like sides that are typically thicker than those found on a string bikini. * '''[[Tap pants]]''', a type of short typically made of lace, silk or satin. * '''[[Teddy (lingerie)|Teddy]]''', an undergarment that resembles the shape of a one-piece bathing suit because it is typically sleeveless, and sometimes even strapless. * '''[[Undergarment]]''', a garment which one wears underneath clothes. Also known as "underwear."
