In a brief aside to the original topic, I think catsuits (nice shorthand for a tight, formfitting garment) work very well. The supportive function smooths and idealizes the form, with a result more sensual than overtly sexual. It shows everything yet reveals nothing, an interesting tension.

Well, as far as the "shows nothing" aspect is concerned, many "catsuits" on TV are actually tight jumpsuits with cleavage. Sometimes even with a big zipper down the front for false modesty and between-shots inconsistencies.
