Is a  see-through clear plastic challah cover considered covering the  
Challah?

I know that some people say it's OK but to me it seems that a see-through  
cover would be like a woman wearing a see-through dress.  It's not  
"covered" in any meaningful sense if you can still see it.  What is it that  
"embarrasses" the challah when you make kiddush right in front of it?  IF  the 
challah feels chilly and just wants to be cozy and warm, then a plastic  cover 
will accomplish that.  But if the challah wants people to not ignore  it when 
they see it, then a see-through plastic bag is the same as no  cover.
