Lingerie at the time (especially panties) was somewhat transparent. To paraphrase Raquel; her nipples and vulva are very dark, and she has an abundance of thick black pubic hair. Crazy as it sounds today, she thought that this would "give her away" as a woman of Hispanic descent, and her career would be ruined. She said this in an interview, many years later. Those were very different times.

Just for the record, reshooting that scene so that Raquel Welch could appear in her bra and panties would have ABSOLUTELY been worth $8,000. They were nuts not to insist on it. The only time she appeared in her bra and panties that I can think of was in Bedazzled, and I know they taped her up so that nothing slipped (Dudley Moore said that he had to tape his dick down during that scene to avoid getting an erection).
