A camisole is a sleeveless undershirt typically worn by women, extending to the waist. The camisole is usually made of satin, nylon, silk, or cotton. Wikipedia
Historically, camisole referred to jackets of various kinds,[1] including overshirts (worn under a doublet or bodice),[2] women's négligées, and sleeved jackets worn by men.
Modern usage
In modern usage, a camisole or Cami is a loose-fitting sleeveless undershirt which covers the top part of the body but is shorter than a chemise. A camisole normally extends to the waist but is sometimes cropped to expose the midriff, or extended to cover the entire pelvic region. Camisoles are manufactured from light materials, commonly cotton-based, occasionally satin or silk, or stretch fabrics such as lycra, nylon, or spandex.
A camisole typically has thin "spaghetti straps" and can be worn over a brassiere or without one.
My note: I love the look or the cambric shirt shirt and a Cami underneath allows for button to left open. This past week at my lingerie store, Soma, I purchases one with a bra built in that has small seamless pads and no bra structure; just basic . It is described as the "EnblissTank With Built-In Bra"
Definitely a feminine (sexy) differential.
I love everything about that outfit in the photo:)
