Why a Camisole is so essential to have?
Camisoles are an important part of a girl’s clothing regime. When you have mesh, sheer tops or deep necks, camisoles give it a nice base. You can wear bright coloured camisoles underneath light coloured sheer top to look more trendy.
While wearing a T-shirt, sometimes the textures of the bra are quite visible and spoil the look. Wearing a cami top over the bra gives a seamless look to the T-shirt.
When you want to wear shirts, camisoles make them comfort wear eliminating the skin show through open buttons.

I wore these all the time before I was pregnant. So comfy! Perfect undershirt and no need for a bra! After pregnancy though, they no longer fit as nice as my boobs grew and haven’t shrunk, 2 years later!
