Nachtäsche - sleepwear
Lycra - lycra
Parma- in der Annahme, daß das von Parmesan kommt, würde ich sagen beige
merzerisierte Baumwolle - mercerized cotton
Unterbruststütze - push-up bra
Krepp BH - ?
Bandeau-BH - strapless bra
Korb BH - underwire bra
Kräuselkrepp - ?
Haarnetzspitze - netted lace??
Dabs-Streifen - ??
Baumwolleperkal - cotton percale
pikierte Baumwolle - cotton pique
gepaspelte Baumwolle ??
Modal - ??
Pyjapantcourt - ich nehme an, daß das ein Zwischending zwischen Pajama, Pants und court (franz. kurz) ist - wenn das stimmt, dann heißt das
boxer shortie
Gipürespitzen - ??
Tong - thong
hoffe das hilft

night clothes
night clothes, lycra, parma (is this cheese coloured, don't know it), think it's mercerized cotton, undercup support (?) wire supports (is this a brassiere or corset?) crushed crepe, ... , cotton percale, sorry the rest are a bit beyond me. . Best of luck

pyjapantacour = short pajama pants
just a comment, 'pantacour' is current fashion French - see eg http://www.elle.fr/magazine/mode/chicbasique.html

I agree with sleepwear for Nachtwäsche. This term is used in the latest Victoria's Secret sales catalog. Unterbruststütze is, I think, underwire support. Does Parma relate to Parma-Schinken, which would be more of an orange-red-brown combination? There's a "persimmon" in the above-named catalog. Crayola crayon company's web site might help with the colors.
