Camisole
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A camisole or cami is a woman's undergarment which covers the top part of the body. It is sleeveless and tight fitting in contrast to a loose-fitting chemise and, is sometimes worn cropped allowing midriff exposure,but often covers the entire top. The materials of choice in which camisoles are manufactured include satin or silk, or stretch materials such as lycra, nylon, or spandex, though cotton based materials are more common.
A camisole can be worn over a brassiere or without one. Some camisoles come with a built-in underwire bra which eliminates the need for a bra among those who prefer one. In modern times, the camisole has been transformed from simply being an undergarment to outerwear.
