A sheer lace bodysuit is made to be seen rather than hidden which completely changes the purpose of the garment. This is not underwear pretending to be outerwear. This is a lace piece designed to work as a top in its own right. You wear it over a slip or a bralette or nothing depending on what you want and what the lace coverage actually provides. The quality of the lace matters enormously here because cheap lace looks cheap when it is the main event. These bodysuits have the architectural quality of actual clothing rather than the fragile quality of lingerie and they read as a deliberate styling choice.
