underskirts
Beneath the dress
Underskirts are garments worn beneath outer skirts or dresses.
They serve various purposes: adding volume or shape to a silhouette, providing warmth, preventing see-through fabric from revealing too much, or creating a smooth line under fitted clothing.
Petticoats and slips are types of underskirts.
