What Will Give Me Coverage Under Sheer Clothes?

Nicole Kidman

How do you keep your bra from showing underneath a dress that's made from thin material?
—Laura, New York

Style Spy Says: Berry

Good question! I was disappointed with Nicole Kidman for ruining an otherwise stunning Stella McCartney dress while recently promoting her new flick Australia. All I could see were the ivory bra-encased boobies!

In the spirit of the new economy—or terrifying lack thereof—I offer you a solution as inexpensive as it is effective: Get thee to the Jockey Web site and stock up on these $20, form-fitting camis, which come in every color necessary.

The key, says Wardrobe Wizards CEO Julie Rome, is that skin-hugging form fit—and a nude shade that comes as close as possible to matching your skin. "Sometimes wearing the cami in white will help blend a little better," she advises. "It depends on how sheer the material is, and the color of it."

Of course, the beloved Spanx company also makes genius slimming camis that come in an impressive array of practical colors. Then again, the price point starts at $42, so I'll leave the final decision up to you.

    1. I just bought the cutest pair of steve madden slouch boots, there really cute, have a flap, and I'd love to wear them out. The problem is I don't know what to wear them with. I've tried them with jeans, but I don't think it's dressy enough for work. I even tried dress pants, witch of course did not work. I tried it with sweater dresses, skirts, and even some long sweaters and leggings. Finally, I found the perfect alternative, I pair of medium-dark seven jeans, with a purple crowl neck belted with a BCBG black cross belt. It was fantastic!!!
