Corsets are typically made of stiff fabric and are used to shape the body. TIGHTS are form-fitting pants that cover the legs and feet. Leotards are one-piece garments that cover the torso and legs. Doublets are close-fitting jackets that were popular in the 15th and 16th centuries. Maillots are one-piece swimsuits. Skipants are a type of shorts that are designed to be worn over TIGHTS.
