Hm. In my opinion, a camisole (or cami) is strictly an undergarment regardless of modern vernacular. LOL!
Tank tops can be delicate in style...I would say what the OP is describing would be using the correct name if she called it a tank top. One could say "tank top with spaghetti straps," maybe. Did you see the wiki page on this? I just looked it up. Whoever wrote it also mentions "camisole." There are pictures at the bottom of the page, with all the variations that fall under "tank tops." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeveless_shirt On Sun, Jan 5, 2014 at 8:30 PM, Sharon Zakhour <[email protected]> wrote: > cami or camisole > > > > On 1/5/14, 8:27 PM, Marjorie Wilser wrote: > >> Hi folks, >> >> I rarely wear sleeveless tops myself, so I'm waaay out of the loop about >> a popular item of modern summer clothing for women. >> >> What IS the little knit top with tiny straps called, nowadays?
