The beige colored one is a bit sheer - but not horribly so. You can see my friends snack bag if you lay it under one layer and stretch it tight, but the dress isnt usually stretched tight enough for it to be a problem. The ties on the neck/bust area are not stretchy and do not change anything - they are purely aesthetic. You can NOT cinch the neckline tighter with them.
I ordered mine for a ren-faire style outfit. I paired it with a vest and skirt set both from Scarlet Darkness, and I think it looked good all together (will look even better with some wrinkle releaser lmao). All in all, I would recommend this dress, and would buy again if I needed to do so.
I ordered a 2XL but could have EASILY ordered an XL and been just as well off. I am 5'5", I currently weigh in these photos 192.6 lbs. I wear a 38C bra size (on average), and carry a lot of my weight in my lower half, usually wearing a size 22-24 in jeans, and a size 16-18 in dresses. This dress fit extremely well, didnt cling anywhere uncomfortable, the arm holes were great and roomy (not loose or baggy, but not tight in any way). I usually size up in everything to err on the side of caution (you know how it is). But an XL would be a great fit here for me as well. The dress just brushed to top of my feet, and was comfortable everywhere else. If you are shorter that 5'5 you may need to hem this (either with stitching or with iron on hemming patches).
