The Brit’s Show Me Some New Boudoir Vocabulary

Tuesday, June 26th, 2007

Well shiver me timbers! I discovered a new word today - camiknickers.

Evidently I’ve been out of the loop, because ‘camiknickers’ is a term that has been around since the 1920s. It’s basically part camisole, part knickers. What a fancy fact!

Etsy-based seller, Swoon are specialists at creating camiknickers, bras, garters and other assorted female lingerie goodies. And everything is made by hand.

The fabrics they use are absolutely smashing. Bunnies… kittens… teacups with stripes… and ‘wee madame’ - even the Eiffel Tower plastered on your bum.
