Five Take Catch-Up: Sheer
Between the belts and fluorescent five takes was the Five Take: Sheer theme, which I had skipped because we were going through lots of rain that week. Today, we finally had perfect summer weather, so I decided to play catch-up with my Five Take post.
I’ve been really excited to wear this dress that I purchased from Domino Dollhouse. Marie Denee wore it in a post last week, and seeing how amazing she looked reminded me that I needed to get the piece on my blog as soon as possible. I love how Marie wore it flowing freely with the neckline slightly lower. I decided to belt it and wear it with the neckline as high as possible.
The large portion of the polka dot really makes this dress dramatic, which is what I love about it! I wore a black slip under the dress, but you can see where it ends right by my knees. This dress would look perfect over a swimsuit or under garments for the more adventurous.
I purchased the 4X, and I thought that the dress would be more flowy on me. I’m thinking that because I’m only 5’4″, the section of the dress that becomes more voluminous sits lower on me than it would if someone was 5’6″+. (that plus I have a big bum!). Because I had tied the neck as tight as possible (there are drawstrings in the back with a keyhole), the length was perfect, but it could definitely sit longer if you allow the dress to have straps like in Marie’s post.
At first I had added a coral belt, but ultimately decided to go with gold. I love the addition of metallic to this dress, and next time I wear this, I would add a metal necklace and go sans belt.
I like that this dress is sheer, but not so overwhelmingly sheer that I’d be nervous to wear it around town. I typically like sheer in small doses, but this dress showed me that an entirely sheer piece can be fun and sophisticated.

Do you like the sheer trend? If so, how do you wear it?
I like the dress. You really don’t get that the green bottom is sheer until you are outside and see it. The gold belt is great with the dress. I love your lipstick! It is a beautiful color on you!

First of all I’ve been reading for a while and I just want to say how beautiful you look in this dress. It’s gorgeous. You look amazing and effortlessly chic as always.
Secondly, thank you for continuing to update this blog with your photos, anecdotes and ideals. It has really helped me to feel more confident about my own body, and I have just ordered a pair of turquoise palazzo pants and a red blazer for a night out soon – all thanks to you. Usually I’m the girl in layers of black, trying to hide from social situations…well that stops now. I can’t thank you enough.
You are so beautiful. And the dress too.
You look beautiful!
Beautiful dress for a beautiful woman. You look fabulous!
You look amazing in this dress! There are quite a few things from Domino Dollhouse that I’ve liked recently but I’ve always been hesitant to buy from them. Probably because their styling for the shoots, while fantastic, is always so unlike my personal style. I find myself thinking, “how can I wear that in my real life?” You’ve done a great job here showing how an edgy piece can be worn elegantly. Kudos!
you look beautiful and i absolutely LOVE LOVE that dress !
Hi. I just found your blog by accident, but I love it! Subscribing. 🙂 Lovely dress, btw.
I looooovvvve this dress, I wish we had it here!!!
