The French gave us the word lingerie that comes from the word linen which means a woman’s undergarment. Linen or cotton are the two most common types of material lingerie is made of. Comfort and modesty is what lingerie offers to woman In modern days the purpose of wearing a lingerie has changed much. These days, lingerie is used to increase sex appeal by emphasizing the distinctly feminine parts of the body.
Available in a wide variety lingerie ranges from plain underwear to bras and cotton nightgowns. Included among the typical kinds of lingerie are chemise, baby doll, negligee, bustier and corset styles.

Two major differences between a chemise & a negligee are their fit & length. The former is long and more form-fitting up top, becoming looser toward the bottom. The latter is loose overall and usually short enough only to cover a woman’s thighs.

The bustier lingerie which is rather a long bra with cups fits over the whole torso of a lady. The corset gives a flat look to the upper part of the body and can be worn with or without a belt.
