I’m midsize and tried the Skims dress without a bra – it really hugs my curves but people say it’s ‘way too see-through’
A KHLOE Kardashian lookalike has fallen in love with a certain brand of shapewear, but her fans are not so sure.
The clothing brand has taken the internet by storm, but it has sometimes divided opinions.
Skims was co-founded by Kim Kardashian, and focuses on body positivity, catering to all shapes and sizes, from the small to the large.
Midsizer Alex Michael May (@alexmichaelmay) is the latest influencer to try one of the dresses that has gone viral.
Alex has 191,000 followers and she professes on her platform that she is: “Curvy,” and advocates: “Self-love.”
Despite being aware of all the online chatter about the Skims dresses, she wasn’t quite prepared for the dress’s appearance once she had tried it on in a recent post.
“This shocked me,” she said.
But she had been looking forward to seeing what all the fuss was about: “Got this one in rust,” she said, “and it is really really sexy, I’m really excited to put it on.”
Alex, however, felt obliged to warn her viewers: “Apologies in advance” she said for what was about to come.
Once on, there was a certain va-va-voom effect, but also very little left to the imagination.
“Wowza,” was all she could say, almost breathless.
This dress revealed more than she had anticipated: “This shows everybody your ya-de-ya-de-ad and it’s a lot of ya-de,” she said.
As she did so, she looked with amazement at her reflection in the impossibly-curve loving dress.
Once she had caught her breath, she offered her evaluation.
She said: “What I like about it is that it’s quite tight so it holds the girls in without a bra – in a nice way – and it also clings to your curves.”
After a smidgen of thought, she came up with her verdict: “I think this one won me over.”
But it came with a proviso: “But obviously beware, it’s kinda see-through.”
Comments were divided, some fans thinking it was great, while others thought it far too revealing.
“It’s wayyyy to see through,” said one viewer, and another agreed: “Too sheer.”
But there were many more who loved it and loved Alex’s positive attitude.
“If you are wondering what confidience looks like , she truly owns it,” surmised this fan.
Other followers were bowled over: “Looks amazing,” said one, and: “Utterly gorgeous,” said another.
Echoes of an American well-known family according to one viewer: “You look like Khloe Kardashian,” she said.
Finally, she will be pleased with her comparison to an American legend: “You remind me of Marilyn Monroe in that sizzling, revealing dress she wore for her famous happy birthday song to JFK,” was the view of this enthused fan.
