BODY STOCKINGS
Teddies and Bodystocking are very similar items of sexy lingerie. By definition, teddies combine a camisole top and panties into one garment. Bodystocking generally add sleeves and/or legs to the basic teddy design. Teddies have been part of fashion throughout the 20th century, although their design has been altered dramatically throughout the years. Bodystocking are a newer take on the original teddy design. Teddies are now primarily used as sexy lingerie, while Bodystocking may be either sexy or functional and are often both.Early teddies, like most early lingerie, were more functional than decorative.
The teddy was used primarily to provide full coverage underneath clothing, and often resembled a combined short sleeve top and loose, full shorts. Over the years, teddies began to appear in more luxurious and sexy fabrics such as silk. The shorts gradually got shorter and tighter and the sleeves disappeared. Teddies are still useful under certain clothing styles, but now only sexy teddies are commonly available.
