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?

I make my own too. I wear them mainly in winter out of brushed cotton for warmth. I also make and wear bloomers.

Serious old lady stuff here.

And toasty pins.

My mum has them, had to persuade her to use a half slip one summer to reduce the layers of nylon she was suffering in. 😀
I had them years ago.
I got out of the habit, wearing more trousers I guess

I'm 65 and haven't worn a slip for decades.

None of my dresses or skirts are see through enough to embarrass me, and they all hang fine (I only wear natural fabrics, so nothing is clingy). It's too hot in summer (not in UK) to want to wear an extra layer.

I bought a Uniqlo dress and it came with a slip! I feel more put together when wearing one.

I am 60 and I have never worn a slip, tbf I rarely wear dresses or skirts though.

I just bought a culotte style slip for wearing on holiday- prevents the dreaded chub rub plus makes my maxi dresses hang better. Before that it's been decades since I wore one!

Here we used to say It's snowing down south!

I have one which I wear with couple of skirts. Only because they aren't lined and are a bit see through in the wrong light

I'm 47.

Never worn one.

I only wear dresses in hot weather and I really don't see the point of wearing effectively two dresses one above the other.

If I'm wearing a dress it's because either it's bloody hot or I'm going swimming and there's a swimsuit under it not a slip.

Why do you need two dresses to wear a dress? You don't need two t shirts to wear a t shirt.

I wear them. The 50 and 60 year old secretaries at work think its hilarious and call me an old lady (I'm early 40s) but I totally agree they make a dress hang better.

However I'm struggling more and more to buy them. I have white and black ones in short and longer lengths. I also wear camisoles under shirts and sometimes tops if I'm wearing trousers.

Often wear one, make clothes hang better and a nice extra layer for warmth. Useful this summer!

I wear slips under dresses if it isn't lined. I don't consider it an age thing, more that I don't really want to wear a see through dress. I have a few different lengths from M&S and I have to say I look a little racy in my black one...

I wear a slip with any skirt and some dresses. They make things sit nicer, stops skirts clinging to your legs and general makes everything more comfy. Easy to buy online or in M&S. Just ordered another one to wear under my wedding dress. They are so light weight, they don't add any bulk. If anything, they make you look better cause they smooth out those little ins and outs that may otherwise show through the dress!

I have some brilliant cooling ones from M&S, in black, white and nude to go under various dresses. https://www.marksandspencer.com/flexifit-cool-comfort-full-slip/p/clp60606716?colour=BLACK&extid=ps_ps-pla-pmax_ggl_lg_ch__-UK-_-_baussc&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIicidkvKfhwMV25RQBh3kwg08EAQYAiABEgLeJfD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
They come in different lengths snd the ones I have have a round neck one side, v-neck the other so good for lots of shaped dresses. I also like them as an extra light layer under winter dresses!

I’m wearing one right now under my linen white dress. Just gives you extra confidence that your new nickers aren’t on show.

Love a waist slip. Never wear the full slip though.

I have a long white one for under summer maxi dresses and a long black one for winter, both from m&s, really comfy and feel so nice against skin.

Knickers!!

I do not, but this thread may be inspiring me to be one of the many buying from M&S this evening 😅

I love slips. I’ve kept all the ones I’ve bought over the years. Some are from the lingerie department, some came with the dress, others are fine cotton or silk summer dresses. I have loads of chiffon dresses, silk dresses. They’d be see-thru without a slip?

Bon marche ( in store or online)

No, I’d forgotten all about them tbh but you’ve definitely planted a seed…..

OP, a lot of women don't wear knickers any more, in any practical sense. Don't even get me started on the tight miniskirts that show half an arse cheek off.

I don't wear a slip....couldn't get on with the proportions ....but I do wear a petticoat 🙂

I'm early 50s and have a couple of dresses that need a slip underneath to make them hang right when I have tights on. Mostly worn in the winter. But in summer double up as nightwear! I also use a skirt one with an unlined suit skirt. Had them for over 20 years I think.
