If the text reads "she was wearing nothing but underwear," do you picture a woman in bra and panties or just in panties?

You're probably right. The scene is describing the woman in a photo, and I thought "was wearing" somehow fitted better. But I can't really say why.Also, a tip: unless you have a good reason to do otherwise, write "She wore nothing but underwear" instead of "She was wearing nothing but underwear." Stick with the simple past tense rather than past progressive unless there's a particularly good reason in that scene to do otherwise. It's more consistent, and it's punchier prose.
I would call the second set lingerie, not underwear, even if it technically is.Sorry, this one is sort of stuck in my mind right now, probably because of my own lingerie fetish.
As a writer, particularly an erotic writer you really should be more descriptive though. Both these women are "in their underwear" but a better description conveys that they are very different things to the reader.
