Is there an official name for this combo?

I recently hit a vintage lingerie jackpot, and amongst lots of other goodies scored five pairs of these beauties in various colors. I’m coming up with a complete blank of what to call them though- not sure if I’m having a senior moment, or if they don’t have an official term or what. Early 60’s, made by “Caressable Bra by Empire Foundations”. The waist is firm girdle material, the undies soft lace, and garters completely sewn in. So, not quite a girdle, not quite panties, not quite a garter belt...?

I have never seen anything quite like these before. Would panty garter belt combo work?

I haven't seen this before either... it's a neat idea though - practical!

I don't know if we have a lingerie expert member posting these days, but I'm guessing there's not a name for this particular combination.

It's kind of a waist cinch/lace panties/ garters combo.

Novelty garter belt?

Maybe reverse what I said originally call it a garter belt panty?

'Suspender Knickers' or 'Suspender Panties' if you run a general search through Etsy. A good few that appear in the search are very similar to the ones in the photos. Ebay too. That's what we apparently call them here in England. Over in the Rebellious Colonies (lol) you might call them 'Garter Belt Panties' but that sounds a bit cumbersome. I've just invented the term 'sussiepants' - hopefully that'll sum it up! Either way, I think they're fab. Nice haul!
