Is that a Dress?

MissBehaviour previously promised to show you some of her outfits where correct selection of underwear is crucial. I try to keep my promises. These three dresses were all bought, at quite a reasonable price, from a San Francisco treasure-house (Foxy Lady) some years ago.

The first two definitely count as slinky, being made in a tightish stretch ciré.
The blue one was the first purchase, but suffered from the zip (on the right hand side from armpit to waist) being too heavy and silver. It wasn't that difficult to find a matching blue one and replace it.  Then came the 'chore' of finding suitable underwear.

I love sheer-to-the-waist tights, so clearly that was one problem solved. A tight narrow thong with waistband truly at the waist would work as well, it being necessary to ensure 'flatness' as the dress was going to be clingy. Close examination reveals that the waistband might actually be a little too tight.

Now to deal with the problem that the German word büstenhalter captures ideally "How to hold the bust". The dress was going to be very clingy and one-shouldered. Would a bra work, or would it be necessary? Well, small forms were in order (this is a dress where you definitely don't want bits peeking out at all), somewhere in the 36C size, a little smaller than MissBehaviour's normal bosom. And lo... the dress was tight enough, with a little assistance from some small light adhesive pads, to hold my bosom in place all evening. This dress was a success.

A later purchase was the same dress in scarlet ciré. Now we're talking. With the zip again being replaced with a colour match I knew exactly how to wear it of course. And it made just the impression I wanted.

The one sleeved arm all in shiny scarlet gives the asymmetry real pizzazz. All the accessories were naturally in matching colour, and even my thong was shiny red, though my admiring public were not to know that. A tousled hairstyle completed the 'casual but elegant' whore-like look.

A real favourite that has been worn on many occasions.

That Dress

A few years later, Liz Hurley had made some considerable impression with 'That Dress'. But MissBehaviour found (again in Foxy Lady) a dress in burgundy stretch velvet that might have a similar effect in her circles.

With the experience of the stretch ciré numbers it was clear that the underwear wouldn't be too problematic. The pantyhose would have to be as sheer as possible. The thong would be nude. And the waistbands of both would have to be very carefully placed to be hidden by one of the bars across the oh-so-provocative split. But it worked, and a single glove on the unshouldered side (unfortunately not in burgundy but black velvet), full hair and some diamanté completed the look I really wanted.

Again - an outfit that has been worn many times.
