Lingerie Definitions - F like "full figure" to G like "G-string"

More Lingerie Lingo:

. foam cup
Padding in the cup of the bra is made of foam. Such padding does not bunch up during washing and gives a smooth look to the cup.

. foundations
A pre-war term for shapewear, these undergarments were called foundations because of their similarity to concrete. Ladies who wore them were seen as "solid citizens" while those who refused came to be known as "loose women." Today's shapewear fits and feels like a second skin--coaxing your curves into their smoothest, sleekest, most naturally perfect state.

. french cut
Another name for high-cut brief.

. front close bra
A bra that closes in the center front with either a plastic barrel closure or a hook and eye closure.

. full figure
Women who wear bras sizes 32-36DD and 38-42C-DD and larger are classified as full figure women. Bras made in these sizes are usually designed to give additional support. Common features include padding, wider shoulder straps and triple hook and eye closures.

.garter belt
A belt worn around the waist with four clips or garters to keep stockings (not pantyhose) up and in place. A garter belt can be purchased in a variety of colors. Lingerie fashion etiquette dictates that the color and design of the garter belt match the stockings and panties.

. girdle
The name given to any undergarment that is close fitting, often boned and usually elasticized, that extends from the waist to below the hips. With the new fabrics and construction techniques available, this word has become somewhat obsolete and has been replaced with the word shaper or shapewear.
