In the lingerie silhouettes it is a camisole -- but it stops at the waist and can't be lengthened to abdomen level like RTW camisoles

A cami is anything that has the camisole type wide rather deep neckline.

Its applied to several other non lingerie type garments .

open DS, open file, preview and preview the Essential lingerie colelction to see it in its natual habitat.

I just posted a photo of the cami tiered dress in Kaaren's club pages.

For those of you who can't get there I will posting a temporary photo on my website and will send out the url for that afternoon.

I liked Nancy's pose by the door so much that we used for this photo also.

Cathy,
Thank you. The fabric I used is a woven cotton. It is a lighter weight cotton. It is a matter of touchy feely to get the right weight sometimes.

I forgot to mention the other thing about this dress. I wanted to make it quickly so taking all the measurements were out of the question. I used the standard Misses RTW measurement that had the same bust,waist and hips that I was looking for. I made two minor adjustments to the shoulder length and the bust depth. The other width I changed was to the ab and hips, and these were less than 1/2 inch.

We all get a little nervous using the standard measurement chart and I am not too sure if I would it personally for me, but for someone who is pretty proportionally built, it can work.
HTH,
