Pretty In Pink -- Sheer Blouse

I liked the sheer chiffon floral blouse from GizzA so much that today my project was to track down a few more sheer blouses.  One of the benefits of me doing this is that most such blouses are going to be non-mesh -- doing a sheer blouse with mesh is a difficult trick to pull off, since the mesh item really doesn't rest against your avatar's body, but creates a body shape itself, which is why you usually need an alpha layer to hide the parts of your body  that stick through.  But an alpha layer means there's nothing to see underneath if you make it  transparent -- the only mesh outfits I've seen that attempt this are small items that mostly cover the chest, because they have to float above the skin everywhere.  (The shirts that Edelweiss sells for their schoolgirl line have a bra peeking through built into the shirt's texture, which is another way to create the illusion of a semi-transparent shirt.)  Anyway non-mesh means a flat chest for my boi so that works for me.

I was really looking for a good office blouse/shirt like the ones that Edelweiss sells, and I found several nice sheer shirts and chiffon blouses, some of which qualify as office blouses I guess, and a couple of flowery flounce skirts as well. I also tracked down a few more stocking options from freebies on the market.

I decided to label this my pretty in pink line because all of these outfits use either the pink skirt above from SLC or a black version with pink flowers of the same design.  Above we have the slightly-sheer Intrigue Blouse in pink from Sassy!

Here is the SLC Chiffon Blouse in lilac, which bears an incanny resemblance to the GizzA floral blouse (probably for a good reason?)  Several of these blouses came with a bra clothing layer to use beneath the sheer outfit -- a lot of them, like this one, were quite sheer.  I liked the bra from the DEW outfit best, that's what I'm using in all of the photos.

Night'n'Day Shee Sheer in gray, with the black flower skirt and some gray freebie stockings.  (Or maybe they were from the 45L pack.)

Isis Shirt from Zara.

Poppy Sheer Chiffon Blouse in black from Pink.

This is the Sissy White Shirt from DEW that the bra I used came with.  Strangely enough it almost works better with some of the other tops than the one it was designed for.

I also picked up this top in blue from SLC.  But I was frustrated that both this and the blouse above it weren't in their in-game store anywhere, I had to order both off the marketplace.  Which is not so bad for the sheer blouse, but the spaghetti strap chiffon blouse here in blue is a mesh item, and the market warned me to try the demo first, but they don't sell the demo on the market and you apparently can't get it in-game either.  But this top closely resembles the Colly tops that I love from Danielle, which I would guess is also not really a mistake.  But I had an idea it would work because the Danielle ones did, and I was pretty much right.  Paired here with a panel skirt in white from Color Me H.O.F. and freebie lace stockings from PB Plausible Body (market).
