Sheer Beauties

Since before the time of Will Hays and his code, actresses have been baring as much as possible to get some attention in the pictures. These gals strutted around in see though gowns, but unlike now, 
they still looked classy.



Joan - stunning!


Mae, "...but I'm wearing a robe!"


Marilyn, "wait, my dress is see through?"


Sophia. Making Italians proud since 1950


Norma with a nip slip


Marlene rocking the sheer and sequins
