neutral  Pascale van Kempen-Herlant: Mais on n'a pas l'idée de "moulante" et j'ai l'impression que cette robe en jersey est bien moulante.
22 mins
  -> c'est vrai, mais un négligé/inspiration lingerie n'est pas forcément très moulant. A voir avec le modèle en question !
agree  Marion Feildel (X)

disagree  Germaine: ce peut être n'importe quelle robe, sans qu'elle soit nécessairement "cami(sole)"

neutral  Marion Feildel (X): une camisole en FR a toujours des manches (voir camisole de force !).. En québécois, par contre, c'est une petite chemise à bretelles. Je pense que "cami dress"' vient de cette camisole-là.

cami dress
robe caraco


Explanation:
cami(sole) = caraco.
"cami dress" désigne un type de robe dont la partie supérieure ressemble à un caraco (haut ajusté à bretelles). Le français étant généralement moins spécifique que l'anglais, on peut cependant le traduire par "robe à bretelles".
