foundation garments
Undergarments providing structure
Foundation garments are undergarments designed to shape or support the body, particularly women's figures.
The term encompasses corsets, girdles, brassieres, and similar items that smooth, lift, or compress.
The phrase sounds old-fashioned now, belonging to an era when department stores had dedicated foundation garment departments: She was fitted for foundation garments before her wedding dress fitting.
