Pantaloons, also known as "pantalettes," refer to a specific style of undergarment worn by women during the 19th century. They originated in Italy in the 16th century. They were typically made of cotton or linen and consisted of loose, wide-legged drawers that extended from the waist to just below the knee, often with frills or lace trim at the hem. Pantaloons were worn under skirts and dresses to provide additional coverage and modesty, as well as to prevent chafing or discomfort from corsets or petticoats. Although pantaloons are no longer worn as undergarments, the term is still used to refer to similar styles of women's pants or shorts that are loose-fitting and typically gathered at the waist and ankle.
