Teddies

A teddy, also called a bodysuit or camiknicker, is a form of body suit like lingerie, in the past often worn in the boudoir. It is an undergarment which combines a camisole and panty in one piece. Unlike a full 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.

Originally, they were marketed under the name envelope chemise or camiknickers. The latter was coined in the 1920s when they were introduced as a one piece garment and it was derived from camisole and knickers. It was an appropriate garment to wear under the shorter dresses of the time and also gained popularity during the World War II when women who served in military related duties wore trousers instead of skirts. By the late 1940s the garment became less popular. The garment reappeared in the lingerie market in the 1990s under the name teddy or bodysuit.
