A current trend in dresses keeps dishing out pieces in sheer, with cutouts, and with reveal-all themes. Cleavage, side boob, under boob, stomach, side butt, side vag–, you name it, it’s on display in this type of dresses. It’s a very sexy trend, but we have to admit that we have yet to see a dress in this style that has received consistent reviews that it’s bold and tasteful instead of just tacky and trashy.

The trend is polarizing, and illustrating this are the following dresses that got mixed comments.

Here is the white evening gown we spotted on British reality TV actress Jasmin Walia at the world premiere of ‘Robocop’ yesterday evening. Its virginal hue and long-sleeved coverage are betrayed by the see-through nude mesh panels in front, which showcased Jasmin’s boobs, abs, legs, and more.

Completely commando is the only way to go in these dresses. Can you come up with a lingerie design that would work with this Michael Costello creation seen on Real Housewives of Miami’s Joanna Krupa?

Just the night before, Paris Hilton was seen wearing one such dress by Haus of Milani, which prompted fashion critics to say that Joanna Krupa was just copying Paris.

This type of dress is everywhere right now. It even made British aristocrat Lady Victoria Hervey forget her high standing in the social heirarchy for a moment, not caring if she was being scandalous in this Gaurav Gupta gown that left nothing to the imagination:

We have good reason to think that Jaimie Alexander started it all with the following Azzaro gown, which we dubbed as the most daring dress of 2013:

Of course, Lady Gaga was in on it, too. Bizarrely enough, her Atalier Versace strapless dress is arguably the most modest of all the sheer illusion dresses featured in this post.

What’s your stand on this trend? Do you find it bold, sexy, and daring or simply trashy and tacky?
