Camisoles have been around for centuries. Their original purpose was to serve as a base layer worn under clothing, keeping sweat away from the body and providing extra warmth. Nowadays Camisole still can serve both these purposes, but its role has changed a lot and it became popular as intimate apparel garment.
Camisoles can be dead sexy and extremely seductive owing to their tight fit that accentuates breasts and shapes torso. Women who feel that sexy lingerie should lift and shape their bust, can choose from sexy camisoles with built in bras – so called shelves. Necklines may vary from scoop to v-neck so sexy camisoles can be worn alone with no blouse over or with sheer ones. They are ideal to pair with jeans and high heels creating hot fashionable look. Styles designed to expose midriff can also be found.
Originally camisoles were made muslin, silk or satin. Typical camisoles available in sexy lingerie stores, where possibilities of trying garment on are limited, are made of stretchy materials like spandex or cotton with lycra. You can be off a size or two, and be sure that camisole will fit perfectly. Many camisoles have barely visible adjustable straps to fit the exact size. Great selection of camisoles can be found in stores offering leather lingerie.
