See-through clothing is any garment of clothing made with lace, mesh or sheer material that allows the wearer's body or undergarments to be seen through its fabric. See-through fabrics have been featured heavily on high-fashion runways since 2006. This use of see-through fabrics as a common element in designer clothing resulted in the "sheer fashion trend" that has been predominant in fashion circles since 2008.〔(Sheer fashion trend: 2009 & 2010 )〕 See-through or sheer fabric, particularly in skintone (called "nude") colours, is sometimes called illusion, as in 'illusion bodice' (or sleeve) due to giving the impression of exposed flesh. Mesh, web, or net fabric may have many connected or woven pieces with a large number of closely spaced holes, frequently used for modern sports jerseys. A sheer fabric is one which is semi-transparent thin cloth. These include chiffon, georgette, and gauze. Some are fine-denier knits used in tights and stockings, dancewear, and lingerie. It can also be used in tops, pants, skirts, dresses, and gowns. Latex rubber, which is naturally translucent, or plastics can be made into clothing material of any level of transparency. Clear plastic is typically only found in over-garments, such as raincoats. The use of translucent latex rubber for clothing can also be found in fetish clothing. Some materials become transparent when wet or when extreme light is shone on it, such as by a flashbulb.〔(Sheer disaster!

In the 1780s the chemise a la Reine, as worn by Marie Antoinette in a notorious portrait of 1783 by Vigée Le Brun, became very popular.〔 It was a filmy white muslin dress similar to the undergarment also called a chemise. In 1784 Abigail Adams visited Paris, where she was shocked to observe that fashionable Frenchwomen, including Madame Helvétius, favoured the more revealing and sheer versions of this gown.〔 By the end of the 1790s, Louis-Sébastien Mercier, observing the dress of Frenchwomen, noted that demi-mondaines were dressing in a manner he described as "a la sauvage", comprising a semi-sheer muslin gown worn only over a flesh-coloured bodystocking, with the breasts, arms and feet bare.〔 Mercier blamed the public display of nude or lightly-draped statues for encouraging this immodesty.〔 In the very late 18th century and for the first decade of the 19th, neoclassical gowns made of lightweight translucent muslin were fashionable.〔"Two dresses () (1983.6.1,07.146.5)". In Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000–. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1983.6.1,07.146.5 (October 2006). Accessed 12 June 2012〕 As the fabric clung to the body revealing what was beneath, it made nudity ''à la grecque'' a centrepiece of public spectacle.〔Grigsby, Darcy G. "Nudity à La Grecque." The Art Bulletin 80.2 (1998): 311-35.〕 The concept of transparency in women's dress was often satirised by caricaturists of the day such as Isaac Cruikshank. Throughout the 19th century women's dresses, particularly for summer or evening wear, often featured transparent fabrics. However, these were almost always lined or worn over opaque undergarments or an underdress so that the wearer's modesty was preserved.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O136990/evening-dress-unknown/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O368547/wedding-dress-and-unknown/ )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O135455/jacket-bodice-sara-mayer-a/ )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「See-through clothing」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
