Women's underwear
Sentence given:
"Bland underkläderna märks ett romantiskt set i chiffong och vackra spetsar bestående av en balconette bh med tillhörande trosor i både tai- och bloomermodell."
The obvious inclination is "Thai model", but is that a term used in the field of ladies underwear? A google search for "Thai model" reveals, let's say, extraneous hits.

High leg
I would probably choose high leg briefs. Tai can be used, have seen some brands use that term (Sloggi and Triumph) but probably not UK English (Marks&Sparks use high leg, some only refer to them as briefs). Thai is not correct. As regards the Bloomers bit, I probably think they mean French knickers but I would ask them (no one wears bloomers these days except for very old ladies - very Victorian) just to be sure.

Peer comment(s):
| disagree |
acbonde
: Don't think it should be tanga as they do not complete cover the backside like the tai brief/high leg brief does
