See through bodices- would you wear this? Why or why not?

I have loved the idea of a see through corset in a wedding gown since I was a teen. I only like it when it's tastefully done. For some reason I keep coming across these very sheer bodice dresses with lace (sometimes strategically placed). Then there's just circles to cover the actual girls. I think...

I think that looks very awkward and a Janet Jackson moment could ensue. Have you or are you or would you wear something like this? Are you worried about fashion faux pas happening? cfb_1477793.jpg

    My dress has an illusion lace top and it looks incredibly tasteful. White/ivory cups are a sign of a cheap dress, so I don't think its fair to judge the use of illusion lace in wedding dress based off of some badly made replica of a beautiful designer gown. When well done, the cups should match the skin tone of the wearer and/or the mesh of the illusion lace.

    Some people are cheap and don't want to pay for an expensive dress but also won't settle for a simpler design. So instead of getting an inexpensive quality dress they buy a knock-off of a fancy design that looks like it was made by students in a beginner sewing class, not a fashion designer or experienced dressmaker. If there is a market for a product, businesses will continue to create that product no matter how ugly, bad for the environment, unhealthy, etc it is. The shame is some of these designs could probably be salvaged if the low-wage factories that produced them just used nude colored cups!

    I personally wouldn't wear a dress like this because I am not confident enough with my body... but I saw a dress by Randy Fenoli that had a sheer bodice and I wish I could have tried it on!

    Personally, I love the sheer styles. Didn't end up getting one, only because I fell in love with a different dress. I think the first example you chose had the most obvious white cups, but I think it looks lovely on the model and would look better off the black dress form. But all the other examples are stunning.
