Would you tell someone that their dress was completely see-through?

[MrsWembley]

Or just let them walk on happily unaware?

Depends who it was - a friend or someone I knew I would probably tell them but I wouldn't approach a random stranger!

Yes probably.

Was there anything they could do about it once they knew?

Depends if they were in a position to do something about it. If they could change or put on a cardigan or something then I'd try to tell them tactfully, but I wouldn't want to make someone feel self-conscious just because.

So, someone stood taking a picture of her children whilst the wind whips her dress around her so that people can see the pattern on her knickers, no then?

As she walked off I so wanted to say something but didn't want to upset her as there was nothing really she could do about it.

The wind whipped up her dress?
Or her whole dress was seethrough?

Two totally different things.

Not if there’s nothing they can do about it as they’re already out.

The wind whipped up my dress last week, I was completely unaware until my cousin came along and told me she had seen my knickers as I was walking away. Nothing you can do about the wind and I would have been embarrassed if a stranger had told me. However wearing a see-through dress is a totally different thing?! Still wouldn't want to be told by a stranger though.

Surely they must look at themselves in a mirror and be aware? I wouldn’t say anything.

I don’t understand a see what a see through dress is - do you mean like a clear plastic dress?? Or just a dress that’s thin and flimsy?
Because it’s obvious that the first one is designed to be see through so of course I wouldn’t mention it and in the second case, I’d just not look if I didn’t want to see someone’s knickers! I mean, knickers are hardly offensive to catch a passing glimpse of. I wouldn’t be particularly embarsssed if that happened to me.
Maybe I’m just not that precious about having my knickers on semi display through a flimsy dress on a windy day

If it was a polite moment so we're stood in the ladies i would possibly mention it to her in a really nice way sort of a "im sorry to be intrusive but...." type of effort because id want to know yes im already out and mooned half of town but i have an opportunity to go to the closest shop and get some leggings or something so id appreciate being told before i mooned the other. Wouldn't cross the road and flag her down though

What makes you think she's unaware? I might possibly tell someone if they had a rip in their dress or it tucked into their pants, but I assume this is an adult who has dressed herself out of choice, so no one else's business.

Realistically, if the fabric is more sheer than she’d realised, there’s not a lot she can do about it unless she’s at home.

Ok, a white dress, very thin material, wind wrapping it around her legs, and even as she walked away you could still see everything!

You'd think someone close would have told her if she's had it a while and if it's new, you'd think she'd have seen it in the changing room!

Or maybe she really doesn't care

I am a man, it would be misintepreted. I'd be busy if I told everyone who had see through material given the poor quality of many clothes worn today.
