I am in awe of brenda.

I don't think I own a slip.

I own 2! one black, and one beige.

Now that I think about it, I think I have a slip. It came with a sheer dress, so I don't think about it much, and only wear it with that one dress. Which is once so far.

Mom nagged encouraged me to wear one to my grandfather's funeral. I fidgeted in it enough that it ended up in my purse as soon as I could wriggle out of it. Thus endth my slip experimentation. Except for an old-fashioned one as a dress. They're very slickery.

"Anything that implies modesty" is not making it with today's modern women, said Dickinson, director of marketing for Vassarette, a popular supplier of underwear at huge retailers like Wal-Mart, Kmart and Target.

Pfffft. Tell that to the Miuccia and to the lowered hemlines everywhere.

I went looking for slips at Filene's Basement, Marshalls and T.J. Maxx and didn't find a single one.

Oddly, I can find a decent array of slips at our downtown Marshall's.

I just think that the different fabrics available now make a slip redundant. I certainly wouldn't wear a slip under most of my skirts, because they're that stretchy polyesterish fabric.

The closest thing I own to a slip is the hoops I wear under the huge Elizabethan skirt, and nobody but Superman can see through that skirt. Otherwise I am slip-less.

I certainly wouldn't wear a slip under most of my skirts, because they're that stretchy polyesterish fabric.

And there are a million lengths too. My aim is, for any style that I would wear a slip with, is to buy a lined skirt.

I wear slips the way the good Lord intended. As clothing, not as undergarments. I love the ones with the cute lace edges.

Hmm. It occurs to me that the last of my slips gave up the ghost a fair while back, and that when I restock my wardrobe, I should pick a couple up.

I own a few slips. Half-slips and full slips. That doesn't include hoops/petticoats for Civil War reenacting. I rarely wear the slips, tho.
