For those who love the bohemian style, white, a symbol of purity, blends well with this trend. If you’re a fan of white, you might have faced a dilemma: transparency, as white often highlights the other colours you wear underneath. This is even more evident if your white dress is made from light and thin fabric.
The question often comes up: "What should I 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 sheer at the bottom.
How about wearing a petticoat? It might seem a bit outdated and not very glamorous, but who will notice it besides you?
To achieve this, it's important that the dress has some thickness to it. Also, pay attention to the length. If your dress is long, you should adjust the petticoat accordingly. It should at least reach your knees to ensure comfort, and it must fit you well – not too loose and not too tight – so that you can move freely.
If, however, your white dress is short, the petticoat shouldn’t show because it looks "sloppy." If you only have a long petticoat, no worries! You can pull it up to your chest.
If you don't have a petticoat, you can get a bodycon dress or a white legging instead.
b. The dress is also sheer at the top
A white bra or bodysuit will do the trick. You'll eliminate the bra line.
c. Is the dress super transparent, or is it sheer?
You can pair it with a white nightgown as well. It will add a touch of elegance.
Just a heads up, while wearing white under your dress might seem like the perfect choice, it can actually show the seams and the label. We recommend opting for nude or beige tones instead, as they will blend better with the fabric.
In the summer, to prevent your thighs from chafing due to tight leggings, you can wear shorts under your white dress if it’s short, or a loose pair of Bermudas if the dress is longer.
2. Things to Avoid When Wearing a Sheer White Dress.
Avoid lace underwear or any ties as they will be visible even through a lined white dress. There are skin-toned underwear available in lingerie shops that are seamless and won’t leave any marks. White clothing is often quite transparent and can show the seams of your underwear, which can accentuate your silhouette!
Furthermore, if you choose to wear just a bra, opt for wide straps and, if possible, go for balconette styles that will enhance your bust.
One last thing: If your dress has a low back, it wouldn’t be classy to wear a regular bra. Instead, opt for a strapless one that ties around the neck, and let your hair down. It’ll look more discreet.
