Have a new maxi dress for a high school


Posted: Feb 20, 2016

The dress material is very sheer so will have to wear undergarments. I am trying to make a choice between an extra long slip or long undergarment pants, one chosen would be worn with a nude colored camisole. Any thoughts on which to choose? TIA;

If your thighs are like mine - sm

and rub together a little, definitely choose the pants. I went to a wedding a few years ago and wore a maxi dress, though mine was not sheer. I wore a pair of men's cotton boxer briefs underneath, and I was incredibly comfortable. No sweaty thigh friction.

Have fun at your reunion!

Definitely the slip...SM - Old Anon

with a sheer fabric and here's why. You don't want a silhouette of your legs to show when light shines through, unless you're an exhibitionist or you want that silhouette. Long undergarment pants won't prevent that. Try to find a nude/ecru long slip and matching camisole and make sure the slip is a couple of inches shorter than the dress or your slip will be showing. Is your dress a light or dark color? That might change the color of your undergarments. What look are you going for? Do you want people to be able to see through the sheer to your body or not?

OP- Look I am going for. This is how this dress - came to be

I love Etsy and use it constantly to buy a lot of different items. I had the dress pulled up on my screen, drooling over it and my husband saw it, told me if I wanted it that could be my birthday present as he says it is hard to buy for me. It is an Indian dress with tiny pearls and jewels sewn around the neckline, down the sleeves, around the bottom of the dress. I loved it because of it being different. It is red with black polka dots on the side interspersed with animal print. It sounds hideous but not, fits like a glove, has 3/4 length sleeves. There were about 3 venues being considered for the reunion, 2 of which would have been outside affairs and thus really needing something underneath. The third would be a dinner one evening at the city's golf and country club. I think that is what is being decided on but yet no official place selected. I thought nude would be best and other than body outline am not trying to have a show and tell.

My 40th High School ReunionMar 26, 2012
I haven't been back to a reunion since my 10th one.

Is that pathetic? I would also add that I was the geeky, awkward, nose-in-a-book, dateless, ...

The post below made me think bad, and every time I do I laugh.  Now, I was not a bad kid but I spent more than my fair share of time in detention for the least little thing.  I would go to sleep in class and get detention.  Then I would go sleep in detention.  Our high school in Atlanta was grades 8-12, very large.  So you may have had 50 or more kids in detention.  Usually, the teacher monitoring detention did not even know you.  Sometimes I would have someon ...

In my hometown which is say 70% white, 20% black and 10% Hispanic (sort of a guess), I am fairly certain these "kids" would have been de-signed by other fans, the administration or their very o ...

Well I took it, had my daughter try it on for a laugh, but now I don't know what to do with it. It is in bad shape. It's all wrinkled and the lace is crunchy, but the main fabric is a lovely heavy satin (although yellowed and stained). My mother hated it and I sent her a pic of it and she still hates it. She said she ...

At the bottom or side of the chart, you can click on each line and see the projected cost of each.   In my honest opinion, from reading some of the other newspapers and journals, most of these lines will be so fast, anywhere between 100-236 mph trains, yet only cut 1/2 ...
