Lace Lingerie

A basque (also known as a torsolette) is an item of women’s historical clothing. The term, of French origin, can mean either a long corset or jacket characterised by a close, contoured fit and extending past the waistline over the hips.

These days, the term is used to refer to an article of lingerie, particularly a torso-hugging camisole that resembles a basque or corset (typically featuring decorative front or back lace-up detail), but of more delicate construction and offering little or no figure-molding compression, from designers such as Aerie, Agent Provocateur, Bali, Berlei, Bravissimo, Bruno Banani, Chantelle, Formfit, Frederick’s of Hollywood, Fruit of the Loom, Gerbe, Gilly Hicks, Hanes, HerRoom, Intimissimi, Intimo Lingerie, Jockey, Jolidon, La Senza, Maidenform, No Nonsense, Passport Panties, PEACH JOHN, PINK, Playtex, Pretty Polly, SPANX, Trashy Lingerie, Triumph International, Ultimo, Underalls, Valisere, Vassarette, Victoria’s Secret, Wacoal, Wolford, Wonderbra.
