All you need are two squares or rectangles of fabric, and you can mix it up a bit by changing the neckline, some border print, ribbon or beaded trim.  Just remember to use crepe de chine, chiffon, or georgette fabric in as many layers as you feel you need to make it opaque or make a cami to go under it.

Roberto Cavalli

So what body type can carry these off?
