lingerie

Silky bedroom attire

Lingerie is women's underwear and sleepwear, especially when delicate, decorative, or designed to be alluring.

The word carries connotations of intimacy and sensuality that plain "underwear" lacks: She bought lingerie for her honeymoon.

Lingerie departments and shops sell bras, panties, nightgowns, and similar items.
