Underwear solutions for summer

I need something to smooth the lines underneath jersey dresses and skirts but it needs to be light and airy.
I'm thinking a silk slip might work? And other ideas/recommendations?

Any kind of slip would work. Silk is vv expensive.
You could also buy seamless knicks, or go commando!

A skirt type basic petticoat works (non clingy) if it's hot or I also use a low control spanx type full length petticoat (bit more clingy but not overly so) depending the dress/heat. Love jersey dresses but some really emphasise lumps, bumps & panty lines!

I tried a maxi skirt from Hush and it came with a half slip attached...it was good for disguising the lumps and bumps but the slip itself created a horizontal line across my thighs where it finished.

I have tried commando with jersey dresses works fine with running tights but omg it felt horrible, wet and sweaty - sorry if tmi, but I really regretted not wearing knickers on a hot night.

The g strings still show and don't help with the lumps and bumps. Aren't spanks too hot for the summer?

this Spanx line is very light and not too hot for summer www.spanx.co.uk/shop/body-shapers/collection/skinny-britches.html

M&s no vpl cotton full briefs. Not the sexiest but as they are full coverage you don't get a line across the top of your butt.

I have tried the M&S no vpl but I still get vpl, and I have tried buying bigger pairs but they show through jeans and loose jersey harems.
