From Knitting Lingerie Style:



This sheer camisole with ruched sides is meant to be worn as outerwear, but it requires a layer underneath to preserve the wearer’s modesty.  If you’re daring, what better way to show off a pretty bra?  Lace-weight mohair and silk create the sheer, soft fabric for this very modern camisole, but the ribbon rose at the center front is a reminder of the camisole’s past--a time when blooms, rather than baths, were depended on to keep the wearer fresh.
