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.

If I think you can see through it, I wear a slip, if not, no slip. I own one in black and one in beige.

ImememeN, I have managed to successfully register for classes, set up my monthly payment plan, and order a remote to replace the one I lost [it costs almost as much as the VCR]. That's enough for one day, right? I think I am going to take a hot bath soon, and then get ready to meet up with Teacup Guy at his place. We are going to an Italian art exhibit tonight.

I have a few full slips, because I like to wear them as nightgowns when I am in a nightgown and bathrobe around the house mood, and I think I have two half slips, one beige and one black, but I am not sure.

You know, I think I stick to things that come with linings if they need it too. I never really thought about it, but having to find an item of clothing to fit under other clothing? I already have to deal with bras, why add further complication?

That's enough, sj. Enjoy the exhibit.
