pantalettes
Frilly leg coverings
Pantalettes were long undergarments with frilly or lace-trimmed legs, worn by women and girls in the 19th century.
They extended below the hem of skirts, and the decorative cuffs were meant to be seen.
The term now appears mainly in historical contexts or period costume descriptions.
