What a change has taken place. Michal, whose love for David caused her to defy her father, now condemns him because of his dance and his choice to wear a linen ephod. This type of clothes might not have been see-through, but with light behind it would most likely make it possible for people to see the outline of a person's body. The dance spoken of here was usually performed by women, but David did it himself, to probably show the importance of this occasion. Michal didn't care but was impressed by David's actions. Though it is possible that Michal had no children due to an action of God, it is more likely that David refused to sleep with her again. Considering her contempt for him, I wouldn't have blamed him.
