The Big Question - how do you wear a dress with a front split without flashing your vag when you sit down?

I watched the fashion bit on Lorraine yesterday don't judge and there were quite a few with the front split - www.itv.com/lorraine/style-beauty/christmas-party-dresses

How on earth do you do it?!

Wear knickers?

Pantaloons are your friend. Commando is not.

I get you OP! Bought a denim pencil skirt like this. You basically have to sit with your legs crossed at all times! It doesn't get worn much.

De hair and some nice knicks Grin

Don't sit down?

OnlyHereForTheCamping · 07/12/2016 17:12

Don't buy them, who takes fashion advice from Lorraine anyway?

Long Johns are good.

Yes Blair! Even if you have nice knicks on, I don't really want to show everyone. It seems like there's no elegant way to sit down.

I wear a slip underneath. You can then see a lacy hem through the split when you sit down, but that's better than flashing your lady parts.

Keep your knees together!

Use your napkin when you are sitting down to eat.

Or just go for a double split dress, which is less likely to show your actual bits than its alternative name of "vagina dress" suggests...

I didn't think of a slip Jiminey, that's a good idea.

I love the idea of slightly risque clothing bringing the slip back into vogue. (Where can you buy slips now? Surely not much of a market for them)

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 13/12/2016 14:41

You can get inexpensive half-slips from Matalan if you'll only be wearing them under this particular skirt.

CaurnieBred · 13/12/2016 14:49

Plenty of slips of differing lengths in good, old M&S: www.marksandspencer.com/l/lingerie/slips

Wear a fur muff on it! Wink

Peachypossum · 14/12/2016 11:01

Don't make my mistake. I wore a dress with a split to the front without realising it flashed when sitting on a lowish seat, I had support tights under which had a heavy nude panel at the top which made it look from a distance that I had no knickers on. I was subjected to some scathing abuse from a lady across the room. I was mortified and wearing huge knickers.

user1475253854 · 15/12/2016 08:56

Grin Buster
That's a bit much peachy! If you weren't actually flashing her, I don't know why she'd be so offended.
