I don’t understand why people are still wearing versions of this dress out of the house:

It was a hot mess on Brooklyn Decker, it was a hot orange mess on Fergie, and it WILL be a hot mess on YOU. Whoever YOU may be.

    Ugh, this trend is so BORING. And not sexy. She’s got an amazing body, but this just looks like she hung an old lace shawl over some granny underwear. It makes her look dowdy and weird.

    Okay, I remember wearing a lace bodysuit in the 90′s. But I wore it with jeans and a blazer, and either a super-coverage bra or a camisole underneath – so it was a hint of skin.

    I feel like whoever is designing these looked past the part where the lace bodysuit trend was only about showing a hint of skin.

    What is attractive about granny pants?? We all have those days where we want to schlep around in them, but I hide them under sweatpants!

    OMG THANK YOU!!! I saw this photo yesterday and was so perturbed I yelled, in the office mind you, “When will the sheer lace with granny panties trend go away?” I would at least understand the sheer with a G-string if you’re going for overtly sexual. But granny panties? WTF???

    BTW, after I shouted that two MALE co-workers piped up with “Yeah, why are chicks doing that? It looks lame.” TAKE HEED FASHIONISTAS.

      Well, then! TWO co-workers?? and MALE?! They MUST be the absolute authority in women’s fashion!

      It is well known that women should only dress in a way that is appealing to men. Never mind what they like or what their personal style is, their goal should always be that two random guys in an office don’t think that they look lame.

      I mean, if men aren’t going to think you look hot and attractive then why get dressed at all?

        Because these ladies weren’t looking for ANY male attention when they went out in their underwear. Grow Up.

    The words “frumpy lingerie” probably shouldn’t go together, but here I think they go perfectly. Sheesh. :P

    There’s a reason they call it UNDERwear.

    Death to peplums and sheer lace dresses!

    Clearly the trend is to just abandon clothing entirely and show up in your undies. Fashion mavens everywhere should be horrified.

    Hey! I like my granny pants. However, I do keep them covered with clothing.

    Second to a fan of granny panties. But yeah, cover them. But thank goodness for them here. The only thing worse would be less underwear.

    This is what Wonder Woman wears to funerals.

    I like ganny panties also. However: No amount of lace can make them mysterious or sexy. Nor the extra strenght bra. But I am torn: would I rather she was wearing a thong and a demi-cup? Not really. So, go back to your room and put some clothes on. You are not leaving the house looking like that. While I clutch my love beads and stamp my Birkenstocks. How did it come to this?

    I prefer to keep it to myself when I’m wearing my period panties.

    I think she just wants to remind you that she used to model Second Skin Satin lingerie for Victoria’s Secret. That has to be what that is under there, right?

    I kind of understand the appeal of the dress itself. I mean, on maybe Rose McGowan, or Dita von Teese, with the minimal underwear one would expect from either of them, it would be flagrantly, I-dare-you, yes-you’re-supposed-to-look, SEXY.

    Which might not be appropriate for whatever given event, I’m just saying, it makes sense to me as a concept.

    But pairing it with the industrial-strength underwear and pretending like it’s a real dress… that does not compute.

    Well of the three iterations, I like Fergie’s deliberate, over the top, in your face, Here’s my panties look. The other two could be mistaken for really bad tattoos in a dim light.

    Those kids are laughing at her and the woman is thinking ‘what an idiot”.

    I think this dress has the potential to be stunning. I just don’t understand why it’s not lined. The underwear look is just so dumb.
