Sheer Dress, Super Solutions!

June 18, 2009, 12:10 pm
Mmkay, now for the full deets on the exciting slip + transparent Theory dress equation that ultimately solved my Sheer Conundrum. A black underwire bra didn’t cut it for coverage up top: Enter the American Apparel Ruched Tube Bandeau.

The chiffon of the dress sagged a bit at the armpits; this was remedied by tying the straps around the back of my neck with some ribbon (polka-dot, for kicks).

Add the black slip-skirt….

….and BAM! That’s Look One.
When worn at the waist, the hem of the cream skirt-slip fell to the ankle. A full four inches of additional material looked a bit silly with the calf-length dress. Also, have you ever known me to ADD LENGTH to anything I’ve worn? I don’t THINK so. As far as I’m concerned, Hemline Surgery goes in one direction only: Up. Thankfully, the waist of the cream slip was elasticky enough to be pulled over the torso and worn as a tube dress under its sheer counterpart.

And BAM! That’s Look Two.

Doesn’t the second look seem like a totally different dress? (Yes, it does – that was a rhetorical question).

Loves it!
