A Note on Sheer Details

Frequently Asked Questions

What counts as a modest dress?

Modest dresses usually have higher necklines, sleeves, longer hemlines, and fully lined, non-sheer fabric. What counts as modest varies by setting and tradition, so check any specific guidelines for your event.

What should I wear to a religious ceremony?

Choose a dress that covers the shoulders and knees, with a moderate neckline. A wrap or bolero can add coverage to a sleeveless dress during the ceremony.

Yes. Long sleeve beaded gowns, high-neck satin dresses, and lace-sleeve styles are elegant for black-tie events, formal weddings, and galas.

Are illusion sleeves considered coverage?

Illusion sleeves and panels are sheer unless the product description says they are lined. Some settings accept them; others require opaque fabric, so check first.
