Lingerie Demystified
It has triangle shaped cups, (which is kind of obvious) and most triangle bras don't have underwiring for support.
Similar to the balconette bra except the bustline is lowered and reveals a little more. Also comes in Quarter cup leaving the other 3/4's exposed.
Backless knickers. A thong has a little more fabric at the back. A G-string has literally just a string.
A short style feminine floaty and comfortable pant. Knickers looks great teamed with a cami or bra.
A looser version of the camisole, extends to top of thigh, worn as nightwear.
The Babydoll is a really short nightgown that hits at the top of the hip. It usually ties or clasps at the bust and the rest of the fabric "floats" away from the body.
Bustiers are form fitting tops that usually fasten in the back and accentuate the bust. Often worn as outerwear also. Many are strapless and attach to stockings or garter belt.
Tighter, stronger bustiers. The Corset has boning that goes over the bodice and is laced or hooked in the back. It can have an underwire cup or be flat. Corsets traditionally are tightly cinched at the waist to give the wearer a noticeable hourglass figure, but they can also be laced loosely and worn as a regular top.
