What to Wear Under a Sheer White Dress?

For fans of the bohemian style, white, a symbol of purity, pairs beautifully with this trend. If you love white, you’ve probably faced a challenge with transparency, as white tends to highlight the other colors you wear underneath. This is even more pronounced if your white dress is made of lightweight and fine fabric.

The question often arises: “What should you wear under a sheer white dress?” Well, we’ve broken down some tips for you.

1. A Sheer Dress? There’s Always a Solution!

a. The dress is only see-through at the bottom.

What if you wore a petticoat? It might seem a bit outdated and not very glamorous, but who will notice besides you?

To do this, it is important for the dress to be somewhat thick. Also, pay attention to the length. If your dress is long, adjust the underskirt accordingly. It should reach at least to the knees for you to feel comfortable, and it should also be your size—not too loose or too tight—so you can move freely.

On the other hand, if your white dress is short, the underskirt should not extend beyond it as it can look “sloppy.” If you only have a long underskirt, don’t worry! You can hike it up to your chest.

If you don’t have a petticoat, you can get a fitted bodysuit or white leggings.

b. The dress is also sheer at the top

A white bra or bodysuit will do just fine. It will eliminate the bra line.

c. Is the dress extremely transparent or a bit sheer?

You can pair it with a white nightgown as well. This will give it an elegant touch.

Keep in mind that while wearing white under your dress may seem ideal, the seams and tag will be visible. We recommend choosing skin-toned or beige colors to help balance the fabric.

In the summer, to prevent your thighs from rubbing together when wearing tight leggings, you can also wear a pair of bike shorts under your white dress if it’s short, or a loose pair of bermuda shorts if the dress is long.

2. Things to Avoid When Wearing a Sheer White Dress.

Avoid lace underwear or bows, as they can be visible even under a lined white dress. Lingerie stores offer skin-tone underwear, which means they have no elastic and won’t leave marks. White clothing, in addition to often being sheer, can reveal the seams of your underwear and can significantly outline your figure!

Additionally, if you choose to wear just a bra, opt for wide straps and, if possible, select one with balconette cups that will enhance your bust.

One last detail: If your dress has a low back, it wouldn’t be elegant to wear a traditional bra. Instead, consider choosing one that clasps around the neck and tuck your hair over it. This will be more discreet.
