Underliner/Pantliner
- An underlined is any undergarment that begins at the waist and extends down past the mid-calf.
- An underliner can be pantaloon-like and worn as a slip for unlined pants, or it can be form-fitting to slim and smooth the legs.
- Can also be called a pantliner.
Underwire
- Bras with sewn-in molded wiring that runs underneath the breast in each bra cup. This support feature helps to lift, separate and shore up the bustline for better shape and extra support -especially for full-figured women. There are many different types of materials used in underwire bras today. The underwire can now be a flexible wire, a plastic coated piece of metal, or a molded plastic shape.
Unitards
- A close-fitting, one-piece garment for the torso, legs, and feet, and often for the arms.
