I find black pearls (real ones) are almost never monochromatic. I mean, the jewelers sort them by color, gray or pink or green tone, but when I see them on people, they seem to shift with the light and be all, you know, pearlescent.
The appeal to slips is not that they match skin or clothing, but that they provide another layer of barrier between the world's eyes and your butt. I think it's perfectly OK to look at a see-through skirt and see a slip; but to look through a see-through skirt and see underpants is less savory.

probably not for the perverts.
How about this one, Maria? [link]
I am a convert to the idea of a set, because it's one less thing to worry about (coordinating earrings).
Probably anything with red in it would be too matchy-matchy with the dress.
Perzactly. I don't want the Stepford bridesmaids, and I want them to have something they'll wear again.
Surprise! Their flowers are cream colored roses with burgundy mini calla lilies. The only pink is some subtle embroidery in my dress and on the flowergirl. The flowers are either cream or dark burgundy.
Mine are thicker under the neck.
Something more like this, then, ita:

Jesse, I was contemplating a set, but my thinking went along the lines of "If I can't find a freakin' necklace, how the hell am I going to find a set?"
Perkins, how multichromatic are they?
I wore it without a slip at my grandmother's memorial service and noticed (whoops!) that when backlit, it was fairly transparent.
I learned this lesson, many years ago, from the then Lady Diana.
Well, that and never marry royalty. Ever.
I am totally going about being a Gen Xer all wrong.
Whoops.
The onyx set is gorgeous.

Maybe ita can help out with this, Maria, because it is hard to explain.
I used "multihued" rather than not monochromatic on purpose. It's not a solid black/grey, but it's also not multi-tcolored, but rather it's got some depth or differentiation to the color that to me makes it more interesting.
