@Goodness|Corporate ADHD Girlie said:

"Hey so…. It’s really not a personal attack, they said inappropriate not indecent…. The arms of the dress are a little loud and gives more of a festive vibe than a corporate vibe, if it was plain, they wouldn’t have an issue Tbvh."

@Stylish_Sayrah said:

"It is probably nothing personal. Some organisation frown against see through outfits. It is a beautiful dress btw. You would get a job that would accommodate all your corporate girlie fantasy."

@pey_pey96 said:
