Shirt Thong
Keeps shirt tails tucked in sexily.

Ok maybe not too sexily, but the front of your shirt attaches to one end of the Shirt Thong, the length passes between the legs, and the back of your shirt attaches to the other end.

The Shirt Thong can be elasticized to minimize wedgie risk when the wearer bends forward. It comes in a variety of lengths or is length adjustable to accomodate various shirts.

The Shirt Thong is a length of string or ribbon with clips on both ends.

       Weren't there shirts in the eighties designed exactly to this spec? I seem to remember seeing, in a vintage clothing store, a shirt with pointed shirt-tails front and back, which buttoned between the legs. Apparently it was the only way to maintain that all important 'tight shirt' look.

       Body suits were like that, mainly because it meant you didn't have to get undressed to go to the loo.

None of the children in my first-year kindergarten class were wearing them.

       I should either bone this for being a truly awful idea, or bun it for the same reason.   

       I think I'll ignore it and hope it goes away.

       I remember exactly this, for men even. Basically the same setup as a teddy for women. A collared dress shirt that snaps at the crotch. It was the 80's sometime? Early 90's? Now if only I can remember where I saw them.   

       edit: I guess what I remember wasn't exactly a thong. More like a brief. Imagine your Y-fronts with a button down shirt sewn onto the top. And snaps at the crotch.

       "thong" and "male" are two words that don't go together, and "elasticized" doesn't help, either.

FlyingToaster, Mar 17 2008
  

       Did I neglect to mention "lace" and "satin".

rcarty, Mar 17 2008
  

       Instead, why don't we attach small buttons on the insides of the pants, and have buttonholes at the tails of our shirts? Then, by reaching partway into the legs of the pants, we can button our shirts to the pants themselves, and so thereby effect a tight shirt appearance without the need for an elastic thong clenching our crotch?

       My own solution is to wear my pants with the waist just under my nipples. No shirt tail has ever escaped.

       Colditz pants ?

       Just no.

       Isn't this already baked? I think they call it a "onesie" and they use it for infants. I guess this is great if you are into the diaper fetish thing. (see link)

       "this is great if you are into the diaper fetish thing" - speaking from experience?

DrCurry, Mar 19 2008
  

       Dr. Curry.. there are still a few things I haven't told you about me.

Jscotty, Mar 19 2008
  

       hmm. 2 sets, attached at 4 points, would have these anti-suspenders wrapping around the thighs, rather than wedgied up the middle. Make life easier on laundry day.

       Down with shirts and pants! It's time to embrace the jumpsuit. It's the perfect garment.

       Okay reading the title I had imagined a piece of cloth that runs the length of the cleavage. Do they have clothes like that anywhere, somewhere in Europe maybe?

Cuit_au_Four, Mar 21 2008
  

       I've never seen it, but I like the way you think.
