Please forgive me, a guy for butting in, but this is my perspective as a married man of thirty two years. I may be old fashioned, but in my opinion few things are more attractive than my beautiful wife in a well fitting half or full slip. The ever so slight shadow of the bra strap or panty line is very sexy without showing anything. It seems that these days the goal is to show as much of your body and underwear as is possible, why is that so important? No one is more sexy than my wife and she dresses very sexy and modern and turns all the heads, men and women without showing off half of her naked body and none of her underwear. Now that is hot, sexy and classy.

Wonderful article. Even though d age of slips seems to have gone, I believe it can be revived again. Ladies tend not to wear them saying its old fashioned. If we can get a celebrity, lets say Oprah Winfrey to talk about it, we can start a slip revival! Slips are a sign of modesty n feminity in a woman. I love them so much as a man I even wear them(I’m not a crossdresser nor a transvestite). Just wear the nylon half slip in my house under a wrapper or a robe n I wear it alone when noone’s around! They’re very sexy!

I still think half slip is important when ladies wear skirts (slit,tight or see thru)
It provides additional cover.

When walking on stairs or standing on escalator men tends to peep underneath of a lady’s skirts , again half slip is one of solutions.

Ladies in half slips had a great impact on man too as i noticed my boyfriend could not get his eyes off me when i wear a combination of half slip underneath my skirts , stockings , high heels. (My boyfriend had actually requested me to wear it whenever we had an outing).My boyfriend told me i’m looked feminine , ladylike & sexy.

I think it could be a good way to lock his heart (control) & chances of him going astray or having affairs is rather slim.

In order to revive hopes of half slips become popular with ladies , may be we should teach our daughters to wear a slip beneath a skirts starting from a young age.

SLIPS MAKE ME ITCH!!!

No kidding! As the owner of a pair of bluish-white, often-chapped legs, I will continue to wear hosiery, despite “fashion trends”! I have friends who say it is old-fashioned, not stylish, and they would NEVER wear them; however, these friends are darker-skinned, young, and have slim legs!

I dislike most pantyhose, so I more often wear tights, thigh-highs (with a slip, so that “place” where the top band indents the thigh a bit doesn’t show) or, with slacks, knee-highs. When my younger, oblivious co-workers comment, I tell them that my bare legs do not look appropriate in the workplace, and are unattractive, so they should be glad they don’t have to see them “undressed.” Then I smile sweetly and say, “You’re welcome.”

Thanks for confirming my suspicion: despite the fashion trends, what looks good and makes me more confident is the right choice!

Lingerie development took place in the latter years. Because of the need to create something lighter and more functional, pieces such as teddies, chemises and camisoles were born. These are similar to the ones found today but these are still in the early stages of improvement. Because of their length, these were shortened to the more practical ones such as brassieres, bikini panties, briefs and boy shorts.

Obviously I am the only one here who never wears a slip. But then I never wear thin or transparent fabrics, they look strange on my lumberjack figure. With denim, tweed, heavy knits or closely woven cotton the normal lining of the clothes is enough. Not even a klieg light could render my clothes transparent.

I see to it that my bra remains invisible, that’s all. When you are more muscular than curvy, drape is not so much of a problem.

But then, I know exactly what you mean. On the subway I see this lack of underwear quite often – voluptuous ladies in spray-on lycra or semitransparent tunics with any old worn-out lacy bra underneath. That looks really, really vulnerable… But the worst thing for me is the lack of stockings. Somebody must have proclaimed that pantyhose is old lady and naked legs are glamorous. I have never seen anything quite as glamorous as the bluish-white, chapped legs of a young banker in her black skirt suit and ankle booties.

I started wearing full slips when I re-discovered dresses at the age of 20 and haven’t stopped (and dont plan to) until today.
I wear mostly (95% of the time that is) skirts and dresses at work and find the coverage of the slip very comforting ….
But I have to admit that when I started wearing them (with the “perfect” figure of a 20 year old) I did that because it made me feel feminine (yes! I admiti it) and more sophisticated ….

Diana,
Many years ago an elderly, wealthy lady complained to me about people not wearing slips. Her point was that slips help with the drape of the garment fabric, for example when you are sitting and the fabrics drapes over the knee. Sounded like this was common knowledge in her day.
The lighting at a club I used to go to had a flourescent effect on white. We had a chuckle at one woman whose big granny style panties were glowing bright white through her fitted dark colored dress.
