A bandeau is like a tube top. It is a strapless, wide band of fabric that is
worn around the bust. They give no support, so are better suited
to smaller breasted women.

One of the most popular panty styles with
a waistband that rests below the belly button.
The sides vary in thickness from just a string (string bikini as pictured) to a fuller cut.
The rear coverage on a bikini is moderate.

A sleeveless short top that is usually worn under the clothes.
Some may come with built in bras (as shown in the image below) or
may be more like a short, strappy singlet.

A short dress style used as a undergarment. Similiar to a babydoll, except
that it is more straight cut and fitting, rather than the more free flowing babydoll.

English corsets are
designed with strong boning to physically constrain and
alter the contour of a woman's shape by dramatically pulling in the waist and uplifting the breasts.
Fashion corsets/bustiers
are more ornamental rather than a body contouring garment.

French cut panties are women's briefs with high-cut legs.
This gives the appearance of longer, leaner legs.

hold stockings up.

The famous G-string and Thong which has minimal coverage at the back of the pant which eliminates the panty line.
G-string's have slightly wider backs than thongs. Women either love them or hate them!

Sometimes also called a Balcony or Balconette bra.
An underwire bra with only half a cup (front). This bra offers support, but doesn't cover the nipple. (Demi bra is similiar,
but does cover the nipple).

Stockings are two pieces (legs) that need suspenders to stay up - (either from a suspender belt or knickers/top with suspenders attached).
Thigh Hi's and Stay Up stockings have an elasticised top
and they do not require suspenders. Pantyhose are a one piece that comes to the waist.
|

|
|
|
|
Another popular choice of lingerie, these are one piece short bodysuits - a bit like swimsuits.
Generally they are quite light and the bra cups may or may not be
underwired.

Made for petite to average breasted figures, these bras have triangle-shaped
cups and thin straps. Triangle
bras rarely have underwires, so therefore offer no support or shape.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Underwire in the cup area of a bra (or top) is especially suited for larger breasted women or for women
wanting to lift their breasts higher. They offer more support and shape than non-underwire bras.

|
Waist cinchers are similiar to cropped corsets as they
pull in the waist. They do not cover the breasts, and varying
styles can be worn as either outer or underwear.
