You may well be right...but how can you tell?

The white area has two shades of white. The upper section of white indicates
that the camicia is of a sheer material and that the lower white section
indicates that there is a lining, it is probably a shift and most likely
sleeveless or straps. Also the closing area seems to look like there might
be two layers. This shift/lining may have also been a means of support but
that is a theory.

Oonagh's site on shift under camicia for a late period Italian.
