Etymology

The word 'camisole' has its origins in the French language, derived from the term 'camisole', which historically referred to a light jacket or a loose-fitting garment. The term can be traced back to the early 18th century, where it was used to describe a woman's top garment that was typically worn over a chemise or as a part of sleeping attire. Over time, camisoles began to change in design and fabric, often incorporating lighter materials and more tailored fits to suit the changing fashion of women's clothing. By the 19th century, camisoles became popular as undergarments, often embellished with lace or embroidery. The modern camisole is now considered a staple in women's wardrobes, not only serving a functional purpose but also adding a stylish component to various outfits.
