foundationwear
Undergarments providing structure
Foundationwear is undergarments designed to shape the body and provide a smooth silhouette beneath clothing—girdles, corsets, shapewear, and supportive bras.
The term emphasizes function over fashion: these garments form a foundation for how outer clothes fit and drape.
