I would have guessed that even “without underwear” there’d be some sort of pasty thing to put over your “areas of interest” and prevent unfortunate fabric movement or angles but, judging from the (NSFW) photo that doesn’t seem to have been the case. ---

Bonus mission: Google her deleted scene from the first Thor movie. I’m at work, so I’m not looking for it, but basically she comes to Earth but shows up naked and freaks out a dad and his son out camping. ---

> [@ZipperJJ](#): > > It’s taped in to place. The NSFW photo seems to show there’s nothing shielding her bits from unintended angles, which was my point. Ironic as it might seem compared to the dress choice, I’d have guessed that she’d have some bit of modesty shield there just in case but it doesn’t look that way. But maybe she just doesn’t care – I’m not passing judgment, just a little surprised. ---

I love the dress, but am surprised that it wasn’t taped somehow into place. She’s a beautiful woman. ---

Yow. And couldn’t they have put the zipper off to the side, in the solid portion? It really intrudes on the back shear panel. ---
