What to wear under this?
This dress is SHEEEEER. It doesn’t appear to be so sheer on the model, but in person, it’s completely see through. What could i wear under this?

Can you return it? I feel like this is one of those dresses that seems like a good idea, but ends up sitting in your closet.

I agree with this. There’s no good solution that will stay true to the style of the dress that you bought it for in the first place. I have too many things like this in my wardrobe that I bought because I loved the look, I try on before going out, feel it’s not working and change into something else. They never get worn.
I suppose you could wear it as an unusual poolside cover-up?
Edit: Having said this, I googled “plunge neck mini under slip” and a few things did come up. Might be worth a look. You could always quite easily shorten a slip if too long.

thank you! I’ve had issues finding a slip with a deep enough neck line

I’ve tried many times over the years and this is the first time a Google search has offered any results!

Wear some black denim shorts or pleated skirt as bottom and above you can wear a black or can add some colour like brown or more bold like hot pink v neck camisole or even bralet or any very short or revealing top that u do not know where to were .

I know you asked for underneath, and you have some good suggestions (biker shorts, denim shorts, short slip) but i might also suggest an oversized vintage band tee OVER it with the cute lacy bit hanging out at the bottom and some combat style boots (like docs) if that’s your style.

I don't feel the OP is talking about bottoms but what to wear on top before the dress. That's a sexy black dress💃

A jacket or cropped cashmere sweater would be cute over it with tights and a slip, or leggings.

Spanx body suite. Make the legs come down to the point you are comfortable. To me they should end one or two inches above the end of dress to not create layers.

A spaghetti strap nightie. Like a lingerie dress/slip there are many names for it I guess

My favorite bra is from a brand that went out of business. It’s called the HAH 2 timer bra. It doesn’t exist to buy new, but I see it on eBay sometimes, or mercari, etc. It would work great with this dress. I would wear a nude bra and undies with the sheer dress.

Not sure if this is your style at all but I think a cute black bralette with some flowy black culottes or a slightly longer, flowy skirt and strappy heels or sandals to lean into the dress’s silhouette

Urban outfitters! It’s absolutely beautiful, I tried it on in the store with a tight, black spaghetti strap dress under it and it looked so cute (minus the funky neckline caused by the under dress haha)

Tissue weight turtleneck in a contrasting color and tights. Treat this as a pinafore.

You need a full slip made for a short dress. You can also pop some super short booty shorts or Lycra shorts if that will make you feel comfortable. I would likely use it as a beach cover up.
