NBR: Do people still wear slips these days?

maddmask · August 2010

As in the kind you wear under a dress. . . not to bed.

I was surprised that one of the girls at church (who is pretty chic, btw), mentioned that she was wearing a slip. (The context was that she got it caught on her dress and had ended up getting a friend to help.) And then shortly after that, somebody at Anthropologie suggested one to go with a dress.

I didn't realize people our age really wore slips. Do you wear one? Under what? A regular dress? Skirt and shirt? I know when my mother tried getting me to wear one as an early teenager, it was to act as a liner for the skirt. But most of the skirts I wear aren't thin enough to need that anyway.

Just a random thing I was wondering. They did have a really cute one at Anthropologie, but I wouldn't know what in the world to use it for.

I do, under dresses or skirts. Some times so you can't see through them, and some times so you can't see a pantie line

I wear a slip under any dress or skirt that is sort of clingy.

Bump's slow tonight....

And I adore Anthro. I want to move in there and wear the aprons and bake something then lounge in the cozy bed with all those candles. Oooooh I love anthro so so much.

I haven't worn a slip since I was 13.

I don't wear a full slip, just a half (waist down) and it is so my dress doesn't cling to my legs.

I was actually wondering this recently as well.

I do not, and never have worn a slip.

Surprise But how do you keep your pantyhose from clinging to your dress?

running a dryer sheet over you nylons works, so does a light layer of hairspray

I dont wear pantyhose either....I use a razor (as in shaving my legs...I'm not getting gruesome here) and some self tanner!

I wear a full slip anytime I wear a dress, except in the very hottest weather. Sometimes I wear a half slip under a skirt if there is chance that it might be on the thin or clingy side. And I wear a camisole under all but the most casual tshirts.

I have to say, I also wear incredibly boring underwear on a day to day basis, usually nude or black and always chosen for function over form.

I wonder if my husband is annoyed or at least disheartend I gave up "cute" and "sexy" undies during pregnancy and they havent really made a comback?

I think I might have to work on that...

At church, if it was a dress where there was a possibility of being sheer or if i bend over and it might expose something then yeah I would, or just wear something else. Or if the material was of the sticky type amd it was a really hot day out, eh the only time I wear any dress that is slightly see through is to the beach, but around south Florida girls wear see through dresses all the time, SO loves it.

I never have worn a slip. I hardly even ever wear nylons although I do love tights. My mom and sister wear spanx when they have something on that is tight and they want to smooth down the lumps and bumps. ??

I usually do, but more so in the winter or when I have tights on, so that the skirt or dress doesn't cling to my legs. In the winter they give a little extra warmth. Sometimes they can provide an extra layer between your dress and underwear so that you can't see your undewear through the dress.
