Reply To: Difference between a Teddy and a Camisole?

[J J]

The main difference is a teddy has a closed bottom while a cami has an open bottom. Uses can be similar to smooth things under a blouse or dress with the teddy held down by the closed crotch (which often, but not always has snaps.)

These days, teddys tend to be sexy, more intimate garments, while a camisole can be utilitarian or a sexy intimate piece.
