I found you all a great new dress for work

[iCod]

Marks and Spencer.

I'm going to buy this, it matches my shower curtain perfectly

Its 110cm which is pretty long for a top, even a longline one! Im under 5ft , I think it would probably be midi length for me...

Oh god do they learn nothing from our mistakes?

I had a pink Miss Sixty sheer top in 1999. I'd wear it with a pink bra. In the day time. 😳 I'd tone it down with combat trousers and a triangle headscarf (anyone remember those?)

Well, this is a racy little number - I'm loving all the options people are coming up with. So versatile!!

Ps one of my favourite threads in the past was the M&S pink dress, where people would try it on and post the picture. I'm not suggesting that with this dress, mind you.

I go to a church social so I could go and buy one.!

No, it’s a throwback to the 2000s. Layering a sheer dress/ slip dress over jeans/ trousers and a top was very popular for a while.

If you need to cover up you could use this Allo Allo inspired pleather trench coat from Zara.

Crikey, my Nana would have said "You'll catch your death in that!".

I'll bet you'd get a side order of joggers' nipple too if you were wearing it 'sans undies', as I was planning on doing 😧

Edited to add, I'm retired though, so obviously wouldn't be wearing it for work, but I was thinking it'd be lovely for my trips to the garden centre, Home Bargains, the vet, the library etc.

I'm enjoying imagining the consternation of the staff tasked with working out what it was... "is this a dress?! Who wears this?" "No idea Sue.. Just pop a leather jacket on top"

Now I'm just wondering what the mumsnet scarf was........

Maybe m n s should've put under erotic underwear. You'd pay a fortune for the equivalent in Love honey. It's not cheap now though.

I've just looked through the pictures. It is very pretty, and will look gorgeous on some brave person.

They ADORE our mistakes and think we’ve all become far too worried about looking “right.” My DD thinks my interest in flattering lines is very amusing.

Well I'm with her on "flattering"

The dress / slip (not necessarily sheer) over jeans thing was early 2000s.

Entirely sheer tops (not dresses) over a bra (usually a Wonderbra) was 1990s.

When I was at university in the 1990s my go-to look for going out was a completely sheer black chiffon, lace or crochet top over a black satin Wonderbra. One of my friends routinely wore a sheer lace tunic dress over a black bra and black hotpants. We always wore them with Doc Martens or biker boots to grunge it up a bit. Happy times!

Hardly the worst garment out there and pretty obvious how it should be worn.

Defo the worst I’ve seen this season. Reminds me of a black top I had in the 80’s when I wore it ‘Madonna like’ over a black bra.

The pert tits back then were fine, any attempt now and I’d be sectioned.

I must have been ahead of the trend as I was definitely doing it in sixth form in '97-'99. I remember wearing a rather colourful, very see-through Kookai top and hearing a couple of yr 13s sniggering in the common room, and I was paranoid it was about my top so never wore it again 😢 I was also still doing it in the 00s, though usually less sheer. And definitely less bright!

Tits oot fer the lads!

I'd look like a flowery sausage in that

I was too!

I think it looks cute the way it’s styled in the photos on the link, but would really work best for a young/ slim person (although every one is of course free to wear it if they like!)

No you’re correct it is the late 90s not the early 2000s. I was at Uni 97-2000 and everyone was wearing this sort of thing then.

The tail end of the fashion could have hung on into the 00s but it wasn’t actually fashionable as such then
