Q. I cannot believe that I am writing to you for fashion advice. I feel that I am pretty fashion savvy and pride myself on being appropriately dressed for every occasion. Here is my dilemma: I just bought a cream colored Theory sundress. It is two layers of gauzy material and when I first picked it up, I thought it might be see-through. But when I tried it on I could not even see the red Hanky Pankys I was wearing. It was just what I was looking for—perfect for my honeymoon in Greece later this summer. This morning, I tried on the dress again and found that it is in fact VERY see-through in proper lighting. Now, here is my question: what is the appropriate type of slip to wear with a sundress/slip dress that will not be bulky or look funny with a gauzy dress. I am 27 years old and have never worn a slip!

A. Slips seem to be a thing of the past. You’re best options are to wear a camisole of thin material in a nude shade or a nude bra paired with a nude thong or hipster brief. If you want a little more coverage, go for a bodysuit style also in nude. None of these will add bulk and they’ll give you coverage without showing off underneath.
