    Camisole

    Explanation
    A camisole is a type of sleeveless top that is typically worn as an undergarment or as a layering piece. It is usually made of lightweight fabric and is designed to be worn underneath other clothing. An undershirt, on the other hand, refers specifically to a shirt that is worn underneath another shirt or blouse. It is typically made of cotton and is worn to provide an extra layer of warmth or to absorb sweat.
