I wore this once for half a day a year ago for a Buddhist service. I did not eat while wearing it. It's not see-through, but it's a summer material, so it's best to wear a petticoat. (Some people might not mind.) You can wear it in the fall if you put a cardigan over it. (It might feel chilly because it's thin.) → It seems cold material-wise since it's gotten cold recently. I will fold it up small for shipping, so there may be some creases. Thank you. Black Formal Wear Ceremony Dress
