3. Vocabulary: Outfits
Body:
Garment that covers the body from the crotch to just below the
neck, sometimes with the arms included. Can be made out of
anything, usually something see-though or latex/PVC. Has sometimes
a snaplock at the crotch for easy bathroom use.
Bodystocking:
Like 'body' but also covers the legs and sometimes the feet (like
'stockings' added to the 'body').
Catsuit:
An all-over body suit. Usually without feet and hands, but these
can be included, leaving only the head free. Most materials are
used, in particular lycra, nylon, PVC and latex.
Corset:
Garment intended to create an ideal hourglass figure on a woman,
either permanent through long training or by simply creating the
illusion while wearing it. Usually it covers the body from the
hips to the breasts, with a long lacing in the back. Some versions
went all the way from the knees to the shoulders, often extra
stiffly boned, intended to enforce a stiff posture if worn in the
daytime (making the wearer unable to sit down), or as training
corset worn during the night.
See also Ms. Margo's "Corset 101" article .
Garter belt:
A belt (goes around the waist) with attached garters which hold up
'stockings' or similar.
Leotard:
Almost the same as a 'body' but always without the snaplock at the
crotch.
Pantyhose:
Like a pair of stockings with a panty built in. Comes in many
materials. See also the newsgroup alt.pantyhose.
Stockings:
Covers the feet and legs up to the thighs. These can either be the
stay-ups type or the kind that needs a 'garter belt' to stay up.
