Is Your White Dress See-Through? Wear These Underneath
As much as we love stepping out for the day in our statement-making white dresses for summer, sometimes we can feel a little restricted by the fact that, more often than not, white pieces are on the semi-sheer side, especially when they’re made of a lighter fabric such as linen.
