Please note: We have lined this dress with a stunning tan silk from just below the cowl neck to the bottom of the dress. Therefore it is not sheer and the cowl neck is double lined and falls in a way that provides coverage. I still recommend a back less stick on skin colour bra or pasties or skin coloured boob tape. 

The decorative beading strap remains the original for the size 6 + 8, and the size 10 beaded strap has been replaced it is adjustable and has a mix of the original pink and new crystal beads as shown in our customer photos 2, 3, 4.
