camisole / cami


Explanation:
Após pesquisar, entendo que o corpete é diferente do corselete. Deixo assim a minha sugestão.

Example sentence(s):
  • "A camisole, also called just cami, is a sleeveless undergarment for women, normally extending to the waist. They often have spaghetti straps."
  • "Depending on the fabric and structure, a camisole can drape loosely, serve as a body-shaper or act as a simple warm-weather shirt."
