Lady Diana Spencer's Sheer Dress
I am surprised that none of the members of my older generation have posted what is perhaps the most famous sheer dress see-though of all time. About a week after the announcement of her engagement to Prince Charles, a press photo opportunity was arranged at the pre-school center where she worked. She was naive and unsophisticated and did not realized what the photographers saw, that she was wearing a thin summer dress, and had arranged themselves so that it would be backlit by the sun. It caused quite a stir at the time and the queen arranged for her to move into one of the royal palaces so that she could be instructed in the necessities of royal photo ops. Such as always wearing weighted hems when going out in a dress out on windy days and always to have a media relations advisor present to prevent fiascos such as wearing a too sheer dress.
