frillies

Fancy intimate apparel

Frillies is informal, slightly playful British slang for women's underwear, especially delicate or lacy pieces: She packed her frillies for the weekend.

The term evokes femininity and fanciness—underwear with frills, ribbons, or decorative trim rather than plain cotton basics.
