For spring, Riccardo Tisci sent out a stream of mini skirts covered in sheer chiffon at Givenchy. The fashion pack immediately caught on and Bill Cunningham devoted an On the Street segment to long skirts at New York Fashion Week, at least 75% of which turned sheer right above the knee.

And now that spring sales have hit, we’ve seen them on more sale racks than not.  But last night Blake Lively wore the white Chanel couture dress at left and we’re wondering if she has the power to revive the trend or if her “most influential” status won’t quite do the trick. Is this a look you’ve been wearing in real life? Or does it need couture level construction to work this well?
