ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Lingerie dress

Okay, so you know how sometimes grown-ups wear fancy clothes when they go out to parties and stuff, right? Well, one kind of fancy clothes that some grown-up ladies wear is called lingerie dresses.

Now, lingerie is a fancy word for some special clothes that ladies wear under their regular clothes. They're supposed to make them feel sexy and pretty. And a lingerie dress is like a special fancy dress that's made out of the same material as the lingerie.

So, imagine a pretty dress that's kind of like a nightie or a silky slip, but it's not meant to be worn just to bed. It's for wearing out to places where you want to look really nice and fancy. Lingerie dresses can be really colorful and sparkly or they can be simple and elegant. It depends on what the lady likes and where she's going.

But the important thing is that when she wears a lingerie dress, she feels really pretty and special. And everyone looks at her and thinks she looks really nice too.
