As outfits get bolder, we're wondering what Indian consumers think of the dare-to-bare trend.
Here are a few pics off the ramp at the ongoing Lakme Fashion Week. Do you think they're a little too skimpy? Take our poll and let us know!
First up we have this cut-away gown from Jatin Varma, modelled by Tamara Moss -- and it cuts away a lot! Bare arms, hint of navel, thigh-high slit...
Bare and backless

This pompon-dotted backless top from Nachiket Barve is barely enough to cover one's modesty -- we've seen flower garlands that are bigger!
See-through style

We don't know what a beach cover-up was doing in a winter-festive collection, but this hot fushia one courtesy Nishka Lulla was both see-through and unbelievably mini!
Bikini bride

Speaking of beachwear, since when have bikini tops become part of Indian ethnicwear? Designer Parvesh Jai probably knows best!
Taking the plunge

If it's cleavage you're looking to show off, you may end up showing more than you intended in this Manjaree Jindal cocktail!
Ruffle things up

On the other hand, if you have a taut tummy like Lisa Haydon, this super-short ruffled choli by Anita Dongre should be just up your alley. Sure to grab lots of eyeballs!
Clearly sheer

Taking the sheer route with this number is Nachiket Barve once again -- that top leaves little to the imagination!
Mini to the max

Just wondering, Jatin Varma -- how is a girl to sit down in this unbelievably short sequinned mini?
Who needs a dupatta?

Parvesh Jai left out the dupatta on this one, so Surelee Joseph could show off her toned bod. Perhaps a tad too much?
Through and through

When Anita Dongre offered up this ensemble as part of her Rajasthani bridal collection, it sure had us wondering which Rajasthani bride would wear a sheer blouse!
Inspired by beachwear?

Certainly looks that way, if this purple bikini and maxi skirt by Pallavi Goenka are anything to go by!
Less is more

And finally, here's another hot number from Manjaree Jindal, with a completely cut-away back.
