Is it possible to get a Chocolate or tan brown underslip type thingy?

I have searched and searched but I am not really sure what they would be called so it is not easy

What I need is a slip type thing to go under a vaguely see-through jumper dress so that I can wear it with tights rather than jeans IYSWIM.

Preferably it would be a stretch type material that comes to mid-thigh. (a bit like those vest tops you wear under hand wash jumpers.

Am I making any sense to anyone??? I have been going round in circles so long I am not sure I even make sense to me anymore!

So sorry I posted and then ran, terribly bad form I know

Thank you for those links TMMM, I am not sure if they are too long so I will go in at the weekend and see if I can try them on with the dress.

I can't believe they are so tought o find, I thought they were sold everywhere but clearly I am in some kind of time warp

Ooh, that sounds perfect then thanks! Now I just have to hope they have my size/colour combination in stock!

it is like a sheer soft fabric and feels wonderful on,

no static or anything,

they were not cheap but have washed and worn really well,

i think i have had them maybe 3 years,

i wear the long one in summer in bed sometimes as a nighty, very nice and plain,

Can I ask a couple of personal questions? (You don't have to answer them!)

How tall are you (ish)?
What shape are you (ie skinny, medium or curvey)?
Do they ride up on you?

I am a bit of an odd shape (tanker hips and ballerina waist) so things tend to ride up on me, which worries me a little if I am going to wear something shortish - even with thick tights!

5 8

size 12

they do not ride cause of sheer fabric,

i bought them for the same reason,

they do not stick to tights

TwistinMyMelonMan · 10/02/2009 12:02

infact wearing as a barrier between dress/top and tights is a bloody good idea

KingCanuteIAm · 10/02/2009 12:20

OOh, even more perfect, they sound just the thing! I am all excited about shopping for once (the idea that I amy actually find something I like that does what I want it to is a novel one )

A little at your stats though
