Why is it feminine?
Camicia derives from Latin "camisia," which was itself borrowed from Germanic languages (likely related to "Hemd" in German), and it retained the feminine gender from its Latin form where words ending in "-ia" were typically feminine. The word's feminine gender simply follows the standard Latin pattern rather than reflecting any semantic reason.
