Additional Information:
During the 1960s, long-leg undergarments (often called pettipants or lounge drawers) became a wardrobe essential as skirts and dresses rose in popularity. They provided a sleek, modest layer that prevented chafing and eliminated lines under lightweight synthetic fabrics. Thanks to their smooth, seamless tubular knit construction, crafted on the same specialized circular machines used for hosiery, they offered a uniquely comfortable, skin-hugging fit designed for both everyday wear and mid-century lounge culture.
