the quiet rebel that ended the corset's reign one bare shoulder at a time
means A light, sleeveless undergarment or top for the upper body, typically held up by thin shoulder straps.
from From French camisole, a borrowing from Italian camiciola, a diminutive of camicia, "shirt" — all descended from Late Latin camisia, "linen shirt or nightgown." That Latin word likely came into the language from Celtic or Germanic sources and is a distant cousin of "chemise." Curiously, before it meant soft lingerie, "camisole" once named a straitjacket — the same close-fitting garment, but worn to restrain rather than to charm.
