The right piece underneath makes an outfit look cleaner. The wrong one ruins a beautiful dress.
A draped dress
Smooth microfiber with laser-cut edges, no pattern and no seams.
Fitted trousers
A high-waisted cut that avoids a line at the waist, with laser-cut edges.
A sheer shirt
A smooth bra in a shade close to your skin, not white — white shows more under pale fabrics.
An open back
An adhesive style, or strapless with a wide band. Try it the day before the occasion to be sure it stays put.
Activewear
Support matched to the activity and a quick-dry fabric; skip wires for long sessions.
A simple test
Stand in front of a mirror in daylight and take a photo with the flash on. Whatever shows there is what others see in strong light.
