About Teddies at Sue's Sex Shop
Teddies, also called body and camiknicker, is a form of bodysuit-like lingerie, often worn in the boudoir. By definition, they are an undergarment which combines a camisole and panty in one piece. Unlike a bodysuit, it is typically looser and more sheer, and may be designed to slip off from the shoulders, rather than to open at the crotch. They are normally worn for the seductive look, rather than practical reasons. Originally, they were marketed under the name camiknickers; the name was coined in the 1920s when they were introduced as a one piece garment and it was derived from camisole and knickers. It was an appropriate garment to wear under the shorter dresses of the time and also gained popularity during the WWII when women who served in military related duties wore trousers instead of skirts. By the late 1940s the garment became less popular. The garment re-appeared in the lingerie market in the 1990s. There are two main types available today: one is designed for visual appeal and the other is designed as practical clothing. Most modern teddies fall into one of these two categories. 
The bareback style typically includes one or more straps to provide bust support, so they can be worn without a bra and give the wearer the appearance of a bare back. This makes them an excellent undergarment choice for tops with open or partially open backs.
Body briefer's typically come in a variety of control levels, achieved by using different materials or thicknesses of materials in the body areas they are designed to control. Like a sleep teddy, body briefers tend to use simpler materials and styles than one designed for visual appeal. Body briefer's are also commonly referred to as "body shapers" or "women's shapers".A fashion top teddy comes in a wide variety of styles, from simple styles with plain materials to very fancy styles with beads, crystals or sequins. The fashion top style can be worn as fancy undergarments or as an outer garment without a top over them. 
As sleepwear they tend to use simpler materials and styles than the ones designed for visual appeal.If they have detachable garters are called a teddiette. The loose-fitting are designed for visual appeal and to show off the wearer's figure. They traditionally use sheer or partially sheer material. This is the style most people picture when they think of this product. You can look for yours at Sue's Sex Shop
