Turkish term or phrase: dışını gösteren
Bak, dışını gösteren iç çamaşırı aldım
Bu ne be? Hic birşey gözükmüyor?
Sen beni dinlemiyorsun?
Such is the dialogue in a cartoon by Erdil Yaşaroğlu found at:- http://www.capsverlan.com/bloggaleri/1749/gey-lan-bu-1935.ht...
Is the point that the lady wants to show her underwear on the outside & the man/boy thinks it does nothing i.e. Doesn't emphasise her femininity?

Explanation:
Emin's answer is quite right. If you wanted to use something that might work as a joke in English, perhaps: "This underwear reveals all - bugger all" might do.
