I wore my new black dress on Friday

It is cotton and quite thin so it could be see thru ie see the outline of my legs

I wore a petticoat but it is cream so obviously did the job of not showing my legs

BUT I am trying to get a black one and EVANS don't seem to sell them anymore

So I wondering if I am being really really really old fashioned and that in reality it is ok to wear a see thru dress {in the sunshine}

It was to a garden party so was outside in sunshine

Wot would you guys do?????

PETTICOAT or SEE THRU IN VERY STRONG SUNSHINE?

ie like Princess Diana many years ago before she was married with sun behind her in photo as a nanny

I'd go see through but with boy pants underneath

As long as you cant see the colour/pattern of your knicks then I wouldn't bother.
being able to see leg shadow thru is okay imo.

RTKangaMummy · 30/06/2008 14:05

wot are boy pants?

sort of like tight shorts, in lycra/cotton mix, in a plain colour

RTKangaMummy · 30/06/2008 14:06

I always wear a slip under light summer skirts. M&S microfibre are great.

I do the same as Rosa

RosaLuxembunting · 30/06/2008 22:24

I think the question the OP needs to ask herself is 'What would Audrey do?'
CYJ and I believe we know.

cmotdibbler · 30/06/2008 22:28

I'd wear a slip too. See through all very well in a nightclub, but would rather not do it in the street. M&S microfibre v v good, and helps smooth lumps and bumps out too

CoolYourJets · 30/06/2008 23:19

Bra slips are back .

RosaLuxembunting · 01/07/2008 11:26

I think I might get one of these
Only they don't seem to do a DD cup .

CoolYourJets · 01/07/2008 16:47

I have similar issue Rosa. They look great. Hopefully bigger cup sizes in the pipeline. I think I will email.
