The Odette Tiered Sleeveless Voile Midi Dress has a detail worth studying before you choose an occasion: the lower skirt looks noticeably more transparent than the upper skirt in the photographs. Its appeal comes partly from that contrast. Shopping well means deciding whether that visible layering matches the amount of coverage you want.
Read the two hemlines
In the front image, a shorter, opaque-looking layer ends above the outer midi hem. Below it, the model’s legs remain visible through gathered tiers. The seated photographs make the sheer effect especially clear. These are visual observations, not confirmation of a sewn-in lining, its composition, or its exact length.
Look at both the outer hem and the shorter layer when judging the dress. A midi label describes overall length; it does not tell you how far an opaque layer extends.
Start with the coverage you want
Before requesting measurements, decide where you would like the shorter layer to finish when standing. A dress you already own can provide a useful reference. Also note whether its coverage remains enough for you when seated, rather than relying only on a mirror view while standing.
Then ask whether Odette has an attached lining, where that lining finishes, and how its length is measured for the size you are considering. Request the outer dress length separately. The listed choices are S, M and Customize, but the Customize label alone does not establish which alterations are available.
Plan any extra layer around the design
If you prefer more coverage, confirm the construction before buying a separate slip. A longer slip could make more of the skirt opaque and change the tiered effect you liked in the photographs. Its neckline and straps would also need to work with Odette’s narrow straps and shaped bodice.
For undergarment planning, compare colors against your skin and the dress rather than assuming white will be least visible. If you can try the outfit on, inspect it in daylight and in the lighting you expect to encounter. A photograph cannot establish opacity in every setting.
Keep the rest of the outfit uncomplicated
The listed color is Blue Grey with a Printed pattern. Visually, the pale background and scattered motifs already give the skirt plenty of detail. Try a plain bag and simple shoes if you want the tiers to remain the focus.
When comparing other midi dresses, judge coverage at the lining as well as the outer hem. Odette makes sense when you deliberately want the visible lower-leg effect, or have confirmed a layering plan that preserves the silhouette you enjoy.
