A teddy is a form of bodysuit-like lingerie, often worn in the boudoir. By definition, a teddy is an undergarment which combines a camisole and panty in one piece. Unlike a bodysuit, it is typically looser and more sheer, and may be designed to slip off from the shoulders, rather than to open at the crotch. The teddy is normally worn for the seductive look, rather than practical reasons. Image File history File links Mergefrom. ... There are very few or no other articles that link to this one. ...

Modern Teddy Styles
There are two main types of teddies available today: teddies designed for visual appeal and teddies designed as practical clothing. Most modern teddies fall into one of these two categories. Common teddy styles are listed and explained below.
Traditional teddy: a loose-fitting teddy designed for visual appeal and to show off the wearer's figure. Traditional teddies often use sheer or partially sheer material. This is the style most people picture when they think of a teddy.
Bareback teddy: a teddy with an open back. Bareback teddies typically include one or more straps to provide bust support, so they can be worn without a bra and give the wearer the appearance of a bare back. This makes them an excellent undergarment choice for tops with open or partially open backs.
Fashion top teddy: a teddy which combines a thong panty, bra and fashion top. Fashion top teddies come in a wide variety of styles, from simple styles with plain materials to very fancy styles with beads, crystals or sequins. Fashion top teddies can be worn as fancy undergarments or as an outer garment without a top over them.
Teddiette: a teddy with detachable garters.
Sleep teddy: a loose-fitting teddy designed as sleepwear. Sleep teddies tend to use simpler materials and styles than than teddies designed for visual appeal.
Body briefer teddy: a fitted teddy designed for smoothing and shaping of the wearer's figure. Body briefer's typically come in a variety of control levels, achieved by using different materials or thicknesses of materials in the body areas they are designed to control. Like sleep teddies, body briefers tend to use simpler materials and styles than teddies designed for visual appeal. Body briefers are also commonly referred to as "body shapers" or "women's shapers".
