Hiplet

nounStandard termTextiles

A style of pantyhose or tights designed with a waistband that sits high above the natural hip.

A specialized hosiery design where the waistband extends higher onto the torso than standard tights. This construction prevents the waistband from rolling down or digging into the natural waistline under tight-fitting garments. It provides a smoother silhouette for the wearer.

Switch her to a hiplet for the photoshoot so we don't get a visible line under the silk dress.
