Dresses With Built-in Slips

Do you wear slips under sundresses?

I never do because I usually only wear sundresses when its hot. Adding an extra layer of clothing makes it feel hotter so I skip the slip. It depends on how comfortable you are without wearing one. Be careful to monitor how you sit and get out of the car too- you dont want to pull a Britney Spears! lol

Why do you wear slips under dresses?

Slips are worn for two reasons. 1) to wear under dresses or skirts that are made of thin or see-through fabric and 2) to hold the fabric of the dress or skirt away from the folds and creases of the girl's body so every little flaw isn't shown. The dress or skirt looks better and the girl wearing it looks better with a slip under it.

They are not just for older women. They are for smart women of any age who know what a difference they make. A slip can make a cheap dress look much more expensive!! ; )

Do strapless dresses get annoying?

It totally depends on how well they're made. The best ones have built in bras and boning (vertical hidden support things) built into the dress. Those are very expensive.

The best normal priced dress would have a good built in bra and should fit with NO gapping across the front of the top. Ones that are not also backless or super low cut will stay up MUCH better, too.

What is the purpose of wearing a slip under a skirt or dress that is impossible to see through?

She would be really shocked to find out that I hardly ever wear a bra! I'm a size zero and my breasts are almost non-existent. I wear a pair of those little silicone breast cover things and you can't tell the difference. Plus, I'm a big fan of the cami under a sweater or button up look. The elastic in the cami is more than enough to support what I have! I got into the habit of not wearing one after having surgery to repair a bone defect in my chest. The incision was right on the line of where a bra band usually sits. The doctor told me not to wear one while I was healing because the band could dig into the stitches!

If you wear a skirt or dress to church do you wear a slip under it?

I always wear a slip. The dress just hangs better that way.

What do you put under a wedding dress to make it poofy?

There are a few ways to add volume to the skirt of a wedding dress. It doesn't have to be a ballgown dress. Fit-and-flares need the same help to, well, flare!Tulle! Lots and lots of tulle. So many layer thats you lose count. This can be great and amusing and romantic, but it’s also pretty swooshy and not so poofy.A Petticoat can be added to many skirts to give it a more dramatic fluff. These can be standalone and added to a slip or sewn into the skirt. Usually it is made of crinoline, which can be wiry and stiff but gives the most volume for it’s weightHorsehair braid is usually softer than crinoline. This is a band that goes around the entire skirt hemline. This adds volume but in a more natural way so the skirt is still flowing but it can’t fall flat at your feet. It can be 1″ in width up to 6″. Even some smaller, simple, A-line dresses can have some 1/4″ Hair-braid just for kicks of fluffiness.There can be hoops in a petticoat but that method is not as cost effective as these other nylon/poly materials.That’s it! A very large ballgown can employ many of these. Usually it will have a liner so the crinoline isn't scraping up your legs. Then one or two layers of crinoline. Then more petticoat of tulle with horsehair braid attached, followed by lots of tulle and finally the outer, more presentable layer.
