Young Blonde Girl With A Navel Piercing, Golden Necklace And Earrings Undresses Her Blue Black Torsolette And Gee String Panties In The Studio With Brick Wall

In 20th century and contemporary attire, the term is used to refer to certain articles of lingerie, particularly a type of corset known as a torsolette, or alternately a torso-hugging camisole that resembles a corset (typically featuring decorative front or back lace-up detail), but of more delicate construction and offering little or no figure-molding compression.
In modern usage, basque may also refer to clothing details reminiscent of lingerie such as frilly lace and cutout, "peekaboo" designs.
