The Camisole Bra

Bra Shopping

The camisole bra is an often-overlooked but tremendously useful piece of lingerie.

Functioning as part bra, part undershirt shirt, it’s an excellent way to eliminate extra layers of clothing without sacrificing modesty.

This handy lingerie undergarment means that you'll no longer have to wrestle with a bra, a camisole and an over shirt!

The bra camisole is simply a brassiere with a strip of fabric (usually lace) running straight across the front.

Designed for layered looks, these unique types of bras provide added modesty when layered under V-neck blouses and sweaters, and are convenient during the summer months, when you would rather not wear an extra layer of clothing.

They can even be worn beneath a buttoned blazer or a partially-buttoned cardigan.

Most camisoles and cami sets with brassieres feature molded cups with underwire support, that lift the breasts and supports them throughout the day.

Some even feature padding or push up bras.

It’s also possible to find bra camis without an underwire; these are most useful for smaller-busted women who may not find underwire a necessity.

Such wire-free bras are usually constructed as shelf bras.

The breasts are supported by a layer of elastic material without cups or other divisions between left and right (this type of support is most commonly found in tank top camisole styles with built-in bra support).

HerRoom Lingerie We Buy For Ourselves

Most retailers offer a seamless camisole bra for very comfortable wear.

There are no seams to scratch or irritate the skin, and the care instructions are printed directly on the inside of the garment, rather than on a tag that may feel rough against the wearer. These camisoles often have thicker straps than those normally found on standard brassieres.

This makes them more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time, and helps them stay invisible under thin fabrics and tight shirts.

The camisole portion is usually made of feminine lace and is occasionally embellished with pearls, rhinestones, or other embellishments.

These feminine intimate apparel fabrics are an amazing way to dress up a boring work suit or cardigan.

Adding a variety of different types of camisoles and cami sets to your lingerie collection will exponentially increase the number of wardrobe combinations you can create.

If you’re new to this type of lingerie undergarment, start with black and white; you’ll probably use these two colors more often than any others.

If you grow to love the look at convenience of a bra camisole, you may wish to branch out and purchase a few more in different colors such as red, purple, blue, or green.

These types of camisoles can be a bit difficult to find in department stores when bra shopping, however, you can easily locate them in any conceivable size, color and fabric online.

The increasingly popular bra camisole makes a terrific addition to any wardrobe. Try one out for yourself today, and you’ll never look back. Unlimited possibilities exist for mixing and matching. Happy shopping!
