I'm wearing lingerie as a dress! Is it evident? I didn't think so, but I could be wrong. :D
Lace dress: Lingerie by Hanky Panky (thrifted)
Underdress: Express (thrifted)
Scarf: Ozz Angelo (Japan)
Hoodie: Prairie Underground long cloak hoodie (old)
Basket locket: vintage (etsy shop)
I thrifted this Hanky Panky lace thing recently, and read on the tag it's made in the U.S. The brand is indeed a comfort lingerie and undergarment company. They claim to make the most comfortable thong, but really, how great can even the most comfortable of butt floss be? Yeah, I didn't think so.
AT ANY RATE, I felt like a ballerina wearing this. I spent most of the day inside working on a paper, thus the bare feet. Didn't stop me from dressing up and swanning about (a phrase I picked up from Sheila) my apartment, though.

I tied my three strips of lace scarf into a knot that confused the hell out of me when I tried to take it off. I'm also wearing my blue rose lampworked earring again. Its mate has been lost for years so now I wear it paired with a simple metal rose stud.
I like this dress so much I want to make a custom underlayer for it now, since none of my plain underdresses match the cut. What do you think of lingerie as a dress? Too obvious or does it pass? Do you have suggestions for the underlayer? I was thinking a shiny cerulean satin, or a deep green, but I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Have a lovely weekend, everyone!

I love the scarf!
ReplyDeleteI think a deep rich colour for underneath like green or purple would be gorgeous. Personally I love the idea of slips being worn as dresses. I've seen some great vintage pieces done like this and they are stunning.

Wow, that's so beautiful! I vote you can certainly wear this as a dress. I would never guess it wasn't.
ReplyDeleteI love the expressing "swanning about." I'm spending the day at home today in soft pretty clothes doing exactly that.
Gorgeous look! I've always been a fan of underwear as outerwear - I'm addicted to those satin slip things as tunic tops (much to the mister's dismay!).
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it. I admittedly wear slips as a layer so that they're visible... because they're often so pretty. And this one is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have guessed that was lingerie at all. I've seen vintage satin slips worn as dresses that look fantastic!! I love the basket necklace!!
ReplyDeleteso so cute! lovin the little earrings! x

Awaaa! So pretty! I love it as an overdress. Why hide all the pretties underneath your clothes! Plus I love how it dresses up the hoodie-dress.
ReplyDeleteI love to swan about - oh, the drama! Such a pretty lacy dress/thing this is. You could certainly hitch up a skirt and show some of it.
ReplyDeleteIt definitely passes, and looks very pretty the way you styled it.

In fact, I have personally worn and posed for photos wearing Hanky Panky see-through petticoats and babydolls styled with ladies high-waisted opaque full brief nylon panties underneath and have published some of the photos on my blog, YouTube and Twitter.
I've modelled and reviewed ladies panties on my blog: "Full Brief Panties",
on my YouTube: misterpantybuns's Channel panty-modelling and review videos, and Tweeted them on my Twitter: @Panty_Buns
Please feel free to share, post, re-publish and share any and all photos and videos featuring me modelling ladies nylon panties anywhere and everywhere!
