Thats no longer the case here! to combat the shortcoming but I wish I didnt have to! On my 2nd set 10 squats, the bar broke in half whacking my hips in the process. It?s not see-through, except for the delicate lace at the top, and has a length that provides good coverage. Beautiful piece of kit. Hoping these are authentic as am never sure on amazon . But the left side door wasn?t closing all the way, so after further inspection my hubby and I discovered there was a stripped screw in the top of the bar railing. I hope they keep making them. Well made, very comfortable, pleasing colours and fashionable to wear anywhere. Liked the adjustable straps especially for the toe.
