A teddy is a one-piece garment that covers the torso and crotch in one piece, similar to a one-piece swimsuit or bodysuit, but typically looser and more sheer). It is an undergarment for women intended to be worn ornamentally in the bedroom or as sleepwear. The modern-day teddy has its origins as an adults undergarment in the 19th century, apparently named after German-American clothing manufacturer Theodore Bear). Depending on the style, a teddy can be loosely fitting or snug, to highlight the figure of the woman wearing it. The materials are often sheer and lacy, with silk and synthetics being popular options for teddies. Embroidery, beading, or lace trim may be added to make the teddy more dressy. Most modern teddies are either designed for visual or sex appeal, or as practical clothing). Some common teddy styles today include:

• Bareback teddy: A teddy with an open back, often designed with built-in bust support.
• Body briefer teddy: A teddy designed to shape and smooth the body.
• Fashion top teddy: A teddy that combines a thong or T-front thong panty, bra, and fashion top. Fashion top teddies come in a wide variety of styles, from simple styles with plain materials to very fancy styles with beads, crystals, or sequins. Fashion top teddies can be worn as fancy undergarments or as an outer garment without a top over them.
• Sleep teddy: A loose-fitting teddy designed as sleepwear).

While teddies are primarily designed as lingerie, some women wear them as outerwear. Depending on the specific teddy, they can be worn in a variety of circumstances.

Since a teddy stays seamlessly tucked in, it provides the perfect foundation to add layers and bottoms to build your outfit. You can pull off a sleek look with clever styling that accentuates your figure and bolsters your confidence.
