To tell the new TA that her skirt is see through

[Motherofajuggernaut]

I go into my ds class X2 a week to help hear them reading. We had a new TA start this half term and about 5 times since she started she's worn this tight long black skirt. Up until the recent warn weather she'd worn tights and I hadn't noticed but now she's going barelegged I have realised her skirt is literally see through when she bends.. so see through that I could see the pattern on her underwear today! I'd want to know if it was me, but I'm not staff, I don't really know her and I would feel weird talking to the class teacher about it! Should I say something?

I can't believe so many people say don't tell her. I'd want to know, and would be very grateful you told me.

I'd want to know. As long as you keep it light and no fuss, I'd be grateful

“Poor kid”?

Oh tell her!

I had a cream cotton summer skirt I loved and wore often in hot weather. One day I was walking through Broadgate Circus and saw myself backlit by bright sun, reflected in 100 large windows, with my chicken legs as visible as if I had no skirt on.

I had been wearing that skirt for 3 summers.

Don't speak to the class teacher but do let her know. She may not realise.

I've put a skirt on and it looks fine in the bedroom and then i've got downstairs and DH has said you have a massive VPL.

If you catch her and say 'look this may be awkward but sometimes your skirt pulls quite sheer and it may be showing more than you realise. I wasn't sure to say something but figured I'd want to know' thrn it should be fine.

Yes, tell her. It can be hard to know for yourself sometimes, and the fabric in clothes is so much thinner these days. Much better to know ASAP!

You are telling her for her own dignity, not to tell her off! Some posters on this thread are being very weird!

This happened to me the other week. My dress kept riding up every time I bent over, and it was a just above the knee one. My colleague just quietly told me. I went OMG. She said "it's absolutely fine just don't bend over " and that was that. I'm surprised no one has pointed it out yet.

I'd tell her - particularly if you're quite friendly just mention it nicely that without tights you can see what she had for breakfast

I had a white t-shirt I used to wear loads with a lacy type bra. My mum once said she could see my nipples in it. My mum is a mega prude though and I thought she just meant when it was a bit cold . Then I was at a baby group and a mum was wearing the same top and I could literally see her nipples through the fabric and her bra.
Suffice to say I didn’t wear it again and I now wear lightly padded bras so that (as my friend says about when she wears one) my nipples don’t enter a room before I do

OP you should definitely tell her, she probably has no idea at all.

If you do mention it, just (1) make it sound like you've only just noticed (2) blame the REALLY BRIGHT summer light and (3) say the same thing happened to you last week with your leggings.

I'm next in on Friday. I'm going to do it...hopefully, she won't be wearing it

Is she princess diana in the 80s?!

Tell her politely.

First day of filming as practice in my Media class at College when I was 16 and I had a hole in my jeans bun.

Didn't realise until got back home and taxi driver said nice jeans and laughed.

I'd been in the videos. This was a Friday. I skipped Monday so I didn't have to see it.

Asked a friend she said she assumed I knew and didn't want to bring it up.

Poor kid, she's young and I think it will be really embarrassing. Ops own words. Exactly why I would not mention it. The little kids are hardly likely to notice. Seems a bit like sticking your nose in really rather than 'doing her a favour'.

Tell her. It is a sign of friendship to do so. Anything less is just setting her up to look and feel like a fool, and that is just unkind.

(Let her know she can buy an underslip off amazon or to go to m&s!!)

Fucking hell !

@dafodillament I agree with you on this one. Will be potentially very embarrassing for the poor girl to be told this by a parent.

Very difficult to know how to tell her without embarrassing her. A man was sitting across from me in a doctor's waiting room today, he had his legs open and I could see his underwear through a huge hole in his crutch. I didn't have the nerve to say anything.

Id tell her as I’d want to knkw
