scantily
In skimpy fashion
Scantily means in a way that is barely sufficient or minimal.
It most often describes clothing that reveals much of the body: scantily clad dancers, scantily dressed beachgoers.
Less commonly, it describes inadequate amounts of other things: a scantily furnished apartment.
