Morphology

waistless = waist (transparent) = waist + less

Standard suffixation with '-less' meaning 'without': the adjective directly denotes lacking a waist or a defined waistline.

Etymology

The word waistless combines waist ('the narrow part of the body between chest and hips') and the ending -less ('without'). So, waistless describes clothing or objects that have no clear waistline and hang straight.
