I'm alarmed that it was about 50 posts about colored underpants before anyone mentioned the idea of the slip.
I don't like slips. If I'm wearing a light, gauzy skirt, I don't want the added layer of a slip.
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I do own fairly light/gauzy skirts, and I wear a SLIP under them
What colour slip? I mean -- unders are unders -- unless the slip exactly matches the skirt in cut or the flesh in tone, isn't it visible somehow?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
What kind of thing are you looking for, Maria? How about
Black pearls: [link]
Sterling with garnet and marcasite: [link]
I guess it depends what the beading on the front looks like.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I own a slip, but I usually wear it as a dress or nightgown.
I am not very modest at all.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I've been looking on Overstock for most of the afternoon. How come I didn't find those? Hmph.
I looove the marcasite and garnet one. That's close to what I was picturing in my head. The black pearls are a good idea too.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I own slips - haven't worn them in ages. but then most of my clothig is easy clothing. somewaht heavier fabrics with body - my unwritten/unspoken/not-so-well-followed rule is that 90% of my clothing must be easy and forgiving - the rest can matter.
I am much more disturbed by what is happeing on Justic League than I am about how people's underware looks under their clothing. as long as it is uner.

Well, today I am wearing a grey linen skirt that's pretty lightweight. I wore it without a slip at my grandmother's memorial service and noticed (whoops!) that when backlit, it was fairly transparent. So right now I'm wearing black underpants, a white slip, and the skirt, and feeling fairly confident that nobody is noticing what's under my skirt. Which is, to me, the point of appropriate undergarments (in a work context) - to be not noticed.
I guess I feel that if a skirt is so gauzy as to actually be see-through, it hardly matters what you wear under it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Maria, the black pearls I got at Overstock had some shading to them that made them closer to being multihued than I was expecting. I still like them, and think they would be nice with that dress though.
Speaking of Overstock, ita-- are these basically the same thing as your pillows? [link]
