Does nobody wear slip any more?

[Darkdiamond]

I have 3 slips, a mini skirt style one, a midi dress style and a long maxi one. I would never ever wear a dress or skirt without a slip underneath, unless it's really well lined. It smoothes out lumps and bumps, makes the dress less see through if light in colour, and stops it from getting stuck up my bottom if I stand up. I see so many dresses from behind that would look so much better with a slip underneath. Have slips been confided to history? Is it like wearing a corset, codpiece or hoop under my dress?

Amazon sell them!

I have 2 half slips and a full slip that I wear regularly. They stop the awful static from tights in winter.

It's a standard MN response when the poster can't think of anything intelligent to say.

I've always worn slips under unlined skirts or dresses. M&S has vast quantities of them.

The half slips were from matalan and full one from Boyes which sells everything anyone could ever possibly want but they might only be in the North?

Since so many clothes are now unlined and made of see through fabric they’re pretty much a necessity if you wear a lot of dresses.

It’s a shame most do the women in my office haven’t realised this. Or maybe they don’t care their clothes are totally see through.

Yep. Love my chub rubs. I've been very slim in the past and still suffered.

I'm glad you said that. I was just thinking it.

@IHaveNeverLivedintheCastle yeah I was thinking the same thing about VPL.

I always wear them with dresses! Smoothing, stop clinging, make things hang better. What's not to like?!

The ageism on this thread is pretty depressing. MNHQ don't care much about it though.

I didnt realiese they were still a big thing TBH, you dont see them in shops so much anymore.
I have plenty of skirts and dresses but never felt the need for a slip (although I dont really buy anything that might be clingy or see through so maybe thats why!).

It is such a shame to see a woman in a beautiful dress but no slip underneath, a dress clinging to your inner thighs as you walk is not a good sight.

Same. They’ll be the cohort who think nothing needs ironing either.

I don’t wear them with everything, but I have half and full slips in various lengths in black and nude. I think of them in the same category as a strapless or halter neck bra or low backed body or certain types of pants. Essential for some clothing to look its best.

Ty !

I wear them in winter, can’t stand the feeling of dress catching on tights. They’re really not that niche or difficult to get hold of.

This! Not even sure my mother has one!

I love a slip, old school here, reminds me of the gorgeous sixties movie stars !

Can't live without my skirt slip. Mainly because I wear a lot of tights under my dresses and the dresses will cling if I don't have the slip between them and the tights.

Funnily enough I'm wearing one today. I don't often, but as you say OP, it does improve the line of your skirt. And if like me, you are bloody minded enough to wear a summer dress because it is July - even if the weather hasn't noticed - the extra layer is a bonus.

Exactly @PinkTonic - I also think of them like a strapless bra or a camisole. It might not be something I wear all the time but there are some outfits that call for it.

I am older and do not know anyone who wears a slip. I have seen them for sale in Boyes.

Wear mine every time I wear a skirt or dress, feel naked without it. Mid 30's if that makes any difference.

Yes I wear slips with dresses (I don't own any skirts but would absolutely wear one if I did )

As you say, they change the whole silhouette of an outfit. Classy 💓

are we talking about these type things? so satiny/silk, not elastane?

I agree they’re quite sexy - I feel really slinky when I get undressed and I’m just in my slip! Always gets approving looks from DP too! And this is just a bog standard one - I might splash out on a lace-trimmed one…
