The fashion this year has still included quite a few items which are transparent with the most common being the transparent blouse. This is transparency makes for a very feminine article of clothing and on young women looks very good but for the slightly older woman who may have a few small bulges round her midriff it may not be so flattering for her.

For the young, these blouses should be worn with a flesh coloured bra so that it looks from afar as if they didn’t have anything on underneath, but for the older the best thing to do is to opt for a camisole top to be worn over the bra. Here it doesn’t have to be in flesh colour but in a colour that complements the colour of the blouse.
For example if the blouse was on a black background with pink and white flowers, a black camisole top would look the best. And then if the blouse was on a bottle green background with let’s say white and yellow flowers then go for a bottle green camisole.
If you have trouble finding the right colour camisole to go with your blouse, just buy a white one and then dye it to the appropriate colour. You can usually find camisoles in most lingerie departments and if you really can’t well a fine white t shirt with tiny straps will almost do the same trick, and possibly be much cheaper.
