As promised, today I’ll be featuring This is a Fawn’s Leda dress by OMGWTF Barbecue.
In reading OMGWTF’s blog I learned that this dress was inspired by Rodarte’s earliest collections which incorporated cobwebs of lace and transparency in beautiful watercolours reminding viewers of Leda and the Swan. The result is a semi-transparent, babydoll-esque dress complete with hammered bustier and panties aptly named, Leda. And don’t forget the foof! Very foofy.
I certainly appreciate the reason for the transparency, however for me personally it walks the fine line between dress and lingerie. That’s the beauty about this dress is it can really be either!
You can see in my first picture I’ve left the transparency settings as is (40), however, the skirt is mod and by setting the transparency to zero you can really see the texture work and soft gradient colour. What you can’t see is the panties and skin. This would be my personal preference for wear around the grid, with the former being reserved for photos and more intimate scenarios. Yes, I’m a prude.
The quality and quantity of OMGWTF’s collection is certainly increasing and I look forward to seeing what This is a Fawn’s new mainstore will hold. You can look for the grand opening tomorrow, July 11th from 7PM – 9PM SLT at the Starlust which promises new releases, sale items, and music. And in the meantime, check out her moving sale with 50% off of everything and a new item in the lucky chair. Last day!

Oh very pretty! I love how you showed what it looks like not all transparent. Good work.
Indeed love, you look wonderful. I agree, the dress looks quite a bit better without the transparency. (:
Thanks guys! I think both the transparent and non-transparent versions have their purpose it’s just so nice to have both options in one dress. Kudos to you OMGWTF, and Haedon Quine for the transparency hot tip.
i featured this dress on my blog as well not too long ago! it’s fun to see how it’s worn and represented by others. love your blog and love your style

Hello Euni!
Just took a peak at your post and I love your use of layering with that dress!
I know some people get annoyed when they see the same item coming across the feed but I don’t think it’s ever really the same. Like you, I love to see the different interpretation, styling, and approach each blogger takes.
Thank you so much for the kind words. I’m a fan of your blog (love your blend of music and fashion) and look forward to more posts!
it looks really cute without transparency but i think i like it more with the sheer effect and panties under the dress looks cute as well, so it s all so cute that it cant be cuter and i love. Oh, and cute style too!<3
Thanks Irie! Yes, it’s definitely great to have options for cuteness because you know they say a woman likes to change her mind and I know I do hahah. I’m so glad you like the dress and the style! <333
