I was a bit embarrassed to admit after reading this thread, that I had actually ordered this dress. I didn't think it looked particularly see through in the pictures, if I thought that it was I would have never ordered it. It arrived today...and OMG!!!!!!! See through is the understatement of the year!!!! How you spotted it in the picture, God knows, cause to me it looked fine!! Anyway, onto the see through bit! The top bit comprises of quite heavy lace work, it's a bit see through, but as long as you don't wear dark underwear, it would be fine, the bottom of the dress isn't what I'd call lace, it's net curtain material, and despite having a white lining, the lining is also sheer and guess what? you can see EVERYTHING through it!!!! I thought with the net curtains, you can see out of them but you can't see in...not the case here, that's for sure lol!
The woman in the picture standing posing in front of the tree would be arrested if she went out wearing that dress without so much as a pair of tights on underneath, the view would be obscene...she must be wearing a one piece swimming costume underneath, and sweating like a horse one would imagine!
I'm keeping it 'cause having said all that- it's gorgeous...it's sort of a kooky vintage style, looks so much nicer that it does in the picture. The top layer is ivory net with a very subtle spot pattern, and it's finished at the bottom with ivory coloured satin, and has a satin ribbon at the back. I couldn't wear it as a smart dress, but it does look really nice with a pair of black leggings underneath and flat pumps...or failing that it would do as a sexy nightdress...but I think my days of sexy nightwear are well and truly over..so the leggings it is. Had it not only cost a fiver, I'm afraid I'd have sent it back, and I would have been pretty cheesed off, as nobody wants to see my arse, or anything else for that matter lol!
