Today, cotton and nylon are common slip fabrics because they are lightweight, washable and economical. Although expensive silk slips require special care, the luxurious feel of silk against the skin makes them a popular choice as well. When you wear a smooth slip, your dress slides as your body moves, without bunching up. A slip camouflages panty lines and bra lines for a sleek look. Some slips are elasticized to contour the chest, waist and hip areas into smooth curves; some slips include an attached bra for support.
White or colored slips worn under cool, sheer dress fabrics such as cotton lawn, dotted Swiss or silk voile serve dual purposes. Love this column, thanks for posting! Slips are amazing. As a guy, I am a huge fan of them. I love half and full slips. I have been attracted to them since I was a young boy.
Something about seeing a slip worn by a lady is wonderful. I love the silky feel of them on or off of my wife. I love wearing slips! I think nothing is more beautiful, fashionable, feminine looking, romantic, sensual, and sexy about a woman wearing a gorgeous silky nylon and lace trim full or half slip? I love slips. They are super hard to find. What fabrics do recommend? That was so annoying. I think slips are the most attractive and seductive garment a woman can wear.
It is unfortunate they are not as popular as they once were. I have purchased many half slips on Etsy and Ebay. You can find some nice vintage slips in unworn or very good condition if you look.

Dillards sell a Cabernet slip they is buttery soft. Particularly for fancy dresses that may be dry-clean only, wearing a slip underneath may get you an extra wearing.

With a slip layered underneath, your sweat and natural body oils will absorb into the slip and not the dress, meaning that you can quickly hand wash only your interior layer. See our guide to hand washing your intimates here. This isn't a new or revolutionary idea, either!

This is the classic "just like mother said" reason for a slip, but that doesn't mean you should discount it. Even if your dress is only somewhat translucent, you may find that in direct sunlight, it shows more of your underwear than you'd like - and a poorly lit room indoors doesn't always tell the whole story.

White on white will only further enhance any seams, whereas a brown or beige silk slip will blend in perfectly. Don't believe me?

When you choose a slip with a little hint of lace at the neckline or hem, you can create a subtle innerwear-as-outerwear look. More on innerwear-as-outerwear looks here. Pair it with a low neckline blouse or cardigan, or with a dress that's just a pinch too short, and you'll be perfectly styled for a special occasion.
