shorts for under dress

--LOS--

I got a dress recently that has jagged edges at the bottom, some of the material is see-through, I was clearly taller than the model wearing it coz the see-through bits go up too far on me and as a result I'm flashing my bum a bit I'm thinking some kind of shorts for under it would be good, I would need ones that wouldn't show through my dress though. Otherwise some light, short leggings. My dress is an olive green but I don't have to limit myself to getting something in that colour although that would be preferable. Anyone know of anywhere that is good for stuff like that? Already been on the american apparel site, the olive ones here are the same colour as my dress but those are way too short. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Without having seen the dress it sounds like maybe some leggings underneath may be the way to go. In the past with black dresses I've used a kind of slip / lingerie thing underneath, but I don't know what to say about an olive dress other than the leggings route. Would some patterned tights even do the trick I wonder?

would love recommendations on this too. I am looking for soemthing like bicycle shorts or shorts with legging type material to wear under dresses. need them as my thighs are fat and rub together and get quite sore and get a rash. I would wear tights here in Ireland with dresses but going on holidays soon so need advice asap. Tried Next Dunnes and awear but they had nothing. might just have to buy leggings and cut them

Terri, you can buy stuff called Bodyglide that would stop chaffing, you can get it in a good sports shop

thanks for both those suggestions. do you think they body glide would work as I find it so sore not wearing tights etc under dresses? thanks for the help.

and what good sports shops would have them? assume you don't mean chains like Champion Sports?

I don't think champion do it, but I have a feeling elverys do. Runners use it, so if I was doing a race and wearing short shorts I'd put it on my inner thighs. I think it would work for your problem.

anyway I picked up some short leggings in forever 21, same colour as my dress \o/ Actually they had loads of browns/greens to choose from and they were under a fiver

thanks for teh Pennys suggestion. i went into Blanch and didnt see them and a worker told me to look in the work-out gear section so picked out a couple of those. hope they work as they were bulkier than I was looking for. will try another Pennys if I get a chance!.
