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.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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]
