camisole

Women's undergarment introduced in the 19th century, based on a loose sleeveless bodice. Made of satin, silk, linen, or cotton, it covers the body from the bust to the waist and has thin shoulder straps. It was originally worn as a protective layer between a dress and a corset but became a fashion garment during the 20th century.
