Look around, everywhere you turn is sheer dressing 

The year was 1990. The Berlin Wall came down, NASA launched the Hubble Space telescope, Seinfeld 
premiered, and Madonna had the best-selling single of the year with "Vogue." The song was an instant banger, 
a fact helped along by the accompanying black-and-white David Fincher-directed video which took its cues 
from New York's vibrant gay ballroom club scene. And by Madonna's outfits in said video, chief among them a 
long sleeved sheer black lace number, with strategically placed patterns to preserve just enough modesty for an 
MTV audience. Sheer dressing has had many iconic star turns: consider Cher in sheer, spangled and feathered 
Bob Mackie at the 1974 Met Gala; Kate Moss in 1993 in a shimmering peek-a-boo slip dress at an Elite model
event; Rose McGowan at the 1998 VMA's in a see-through apron dress and thong that left little to the 
imagination. In more recent years though. these styles have graduated from red-carpet events to everyday 
outfitting: try a long sheer dress over an opaque slip; a transparent blouse peeking out from under a blazer; or a 
dress with subtle sheer cut-outs.
