A camisole is a sleeveless undershirt typically worn by women, extending to the waist.
[3] In modern usage, a camisole or cami is a loose-fitting[4][5] sleeveless undershirt which covers the top part of the body but is shorter than a chemise.
Camisoles are manufactured from light materials,[6] commonly cotton-based, occasionally satin or silk, or stretch fabrics such as lycra, nylon, or spandex.
Such control camisoles are the most casual of shaping garments, covering the torso from above the chest to at or below the waist.
They look similar to tight-fitting cotton or silk camisoles, but the straps are usually wider, the hems longer, and the stretchy, shiny fabric provides a smoothing touch.
