- Bride opted for completely sheer dress
- Said she did it to teach ‘future daughter’ to be ‘fearless’
A bride has defended herself against critics who branded her ‘see-through’ wedding dress ‘tacky’.
Ashely Raso designed her own off-the-shoulder dress from House of Harper, which was completely sheer.
The tulle and lace floor-length gown consisted of an open back, with a lace strap across the bra strap, with her opting for white underwear to protect her modesty.
Explaining her reason to wear the dress to her after party, Ashley, from Sydney, said: ‘I have had a passion for design and fashion all of my life and so when I went to [designers] Danny and Isabelle with a bold vision to make a see-through wedding dress, the ultimate fashion statement, the were instantly thrilled and on board.
‘We pushed ourselves think creatively and outside of the box, whilst still keeping the dress refined and classy.
‘The end product exceeded all of my expectations.’
In a TikTok about her dress, the Sydneysider added that she opted for it to be completely see-through so she could teach any future daughters she may have to ‘be fearless’.
After sharing the design online, many said the dress was ‘gorgeous’ however others said they’d be embarrassed to dress like that in front of family.
‘I love it for you but I’d feel soooo awkward talking to my father in law and husbands extended family in this,’ one person wrote.
‘Sadly our fathers would never allow this,’ wrote another.
‘I know this made all the right people mad,’ commented one.

‘You can just say you like the style you don’t need to validate it,’ added another.
‘Just wear the dress, no need to pretend like it’s for a daughter,’ said one commenter.
‘How is wearing a see through dress going to teach your non existent daughter how to be fearless?’ asked another.
However many praised the dress, calling Ashley an ‘icon’ and ‘incredible’.
‘I love the covered but uncovered at the same time look. It’s exactly what I want,’ one said.
‘Adore this and sending straight to the bestie!’ added another.
