Визначення та Значення "camise"

What is a "camise"?

A camise is a type of medieval tunic or undershirt that was worn by both men and women. It was typically made of linen or other lightweight fabric and had long sleeves, a loose-fitting body, and a simple design without any embellishments. Camises were often worn as an undergarment beneath other layers of clothing, such as a surcoat or gown, but could also be worn on their own as a basic garment for everyday wear. They were popular throughout Europe during the Middle Ages and Renaissance and were worn by people from all social classes.
