HELP!!

i have brought a silk dress and i already feel its a little on the short side not when standing but when bending down (or ladylike squating!) but its silk and sticks to my legs etc with static therefore making it ride up further!!

how do i stop it doing this?!!?

Don't you have to wear a slip?

(old fashioned emoticon)

Can you handwash it, and use fabric conditioner?

orangina - I thought about saying that but felt far too old to have even thought it!

you need a petticoat

You need to roll in flour before putting it on.

Hairspray

We were told by the shop assistant in Monsoon, to spray hairspray between the layer of the dress and the lining, I really hope it works because my two daughters are bridesmaids for their uncle's wedding this Saturday .

TDWP - ooh, you were three seconds before me!

If you are wearing tights, rubbing some body lotion into the tights stops any fabric sticking to them.

it hasnt got a second layer!!!
would i just do it on the inside?

I had this problem and sprayed a solution made of water with a bit of fabric conditioner in it - it worked and just smelt nice.

i use a tumble dryer sheet - just rub it over the inside of the dress and static goes

helps if you moisturise your legs too

yes hairspray's the thing

Can totally recommend hairspray too. I sprayed the hairspray all over the top of my opaques and that stopped my silk dress from riding up.

make sure you use conditioner in your hair too

John Lewis sell an anti-static spray for exactly this purpose. It's fab! Can't remember the name, but it's not a Waitrose product... It's about £3.50 a can. Well worth it.
