What should I wear under a sheer dress?
A sheer dress is designed to show layers. Choose the layer you want to be seen, not the one that happens by accident.
Measure first, then choose the shape. Between sizes, take the larger.
Match the piece to the outfit, the light and how long you will wear it.
Plain packaging, tracked delivery and 14-day returns with the seal intact.
Under a sheer dress, the lingerie becomes part of the outfit. A matching set, a bodysuit or a slip can be the intended layer; a random bra and brief can look accidental. Lace Index has sheer bodysuits, mesh and slips; check the opacity and the colour.
01
The short answer
A tonal set creates a softer look; a contrast set makes the lingerie deliberate. If the dress is very sheer, a bodysuit gives more coverage than a bra. If you want a slip, check the length against the dress.
02
Fit and feel
Try the full outfit in daylight. Check the neckline, the armhole and the hem; a sheer dress can expose straps and edges that looked fine indoors. If you do not want the lingerie to show, choose a lined dress instead.
03
Before you order
Check the product page for fabric and coverage. Keep the hygiene seal intact until you have tested the outfit; returns are accepted within 14 days when unworn.

Questions
Quick answers.
What should I wear under a sheer dress?
What lingerie should I wear under a sheer dress?+
A matching set, bodysuit or slip that you intend to show. Choose the coverage and colour deliberately.
How do I stop straps showing?+
Choose a strapless or low-back shape, or make the straps part of the look with a matching set.
Should I wear nude underwear under a sheer dress?+
Nude reduces contrast, but it does not disappear under a very sheer fabric. A bodysuit gives more coverage.
Can I return it after trying the outfit?+
Yes, if it is unworn and the hygiene seal is intact.
