Reality: The transparent trend can actually quite modest, when layered over other (solid) pieces like at Vera Wang. With a nude lining, shown here at Monique Lhuillier, the effect is ethereal. Illusion-top (sheer netting) dresses are another alternative and can be found at great prices.
One rule about wearing sheer: either buy lingerie that is meant to be seen (pretty camis, nude slips) or keep it completely out of sight.
