In his memoir, Christian Dior said: ‘Dresses are everything to me’. A perfect wardrobe staple for summer, a sheer white dress is fun and light to wear. White clothes don’t absorb sunlight as much as dark clothes. But. It’s super delicate, considering sheer is mostly see through. Can you imagine yourself in tights or stockings in a sweltering atmosphere because you don’t want people seeing your thigh gap through that sheer white dress? Torturous!
You also don’t want kids pointing at you because your curves and, eeerrrm bum crack, is showing through your dress.
It is possible to step out of your house in only a bra and underwear underneath that sheer white dress, as Camilla has inspired us.
Camilla Coelho was seen in a Christian Dior white sheer maxi dress during Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Spring/Summer.
If you look closely, you will see hints of skin adorning her dress, setting a trend of wearing nothing but a bra and panties underneath a sheer white. Bra and panties only? Really? Maybe not but we’ll see.
We love the wide black belt which adds the much needed contrast to this beautiful white maxi dress.
Ellen Warren, a Chicago Tribune Columnist said, “The first thing you should know is that white underwear is not usually the best choice beneath white pants, shorts, skirts or dresses. Flesh tones are what you’re looking for.” And she was right.
Wearing white underwear under your white sheer dress doesn’t give a chic look. Underwear experts like Aerie agree before wearing a see through outfit, you should choose underwear matching your skin tone. You may be thinking, ‘but black underwear works, no?’. No it doesn’t. White and black undergarments show through white but nude blends into any skin tone. So when wearing a sheer white dress, consider a nude bra and panties.
How to Find Nude Shades for your Skin Tone
Just because it’s nude, doesn’t mean it’s meant for your skin tone. Cathy Volker advises, ‘The inner forearm is the truest match to your natural skin tone’. We may as well agree because that part of your body is rarely exposed to the sun. Also, the part of your body right under your armpit can give you a good idea of what skin tone you have. Once you know your skin tone, opt for a nude lighter than your tone.
To avoid see through misfortunes, every girl needs a nude slip in her wardrobe. These can be full, well-fitting or mini-flared. To keep it from rolling up your body, buy silicon nude slips. You could also wear nude body hugging shorts for full coverage. No more having Can-you-see-through-this moments when hanging out with friends. Good thing about nude slips for summer dresses is, you can wear a bra and panties of your choice.
What if your see through dress is body hugging and not flared? Well, it’s important to know how to avoid panty lines in dresses or pants or anything else. Visible panty lines will make you lose points in these streets. Another reason to be thankful for nude slips.
You may be wondering, ‘But how do I control the sweating when wearing silicon slips on a hot day?’
Answer to that: Always choose slips with breathable fabric. You want sweat off your body.
So did Camilla step out in just a bra and panties underneath her sheer white dress? Chances are, no. She must have worn a nude slip for full body coverage. What you are seeing is not her skin.
To conclude, when looking for best slip to wear under summer dresses, always go for flesh-coloured AKA nude. Make sure your slips are simless for that invisible smooth finishing. If you are shopping online, check the reviews to see if the nude slip has a comfortable firm grip on your body to avoid ride ups. Also avoid slips with elastic bands at the waist for maximum comfort.
