intimate apparel
Fancy private clothing
Intimate apparel is a retail and fashion industry term for undergarments and sleepwear, particularly women's bras, panties, lingerie, and nightgowns.
The phrase functions as a genteel euphemism that allows stores to name departments and advertisers to promote products without using words like *underwear* or *bra*.
She works in the intimate apparel section at the department store.
