Slip Dress
What is a Slip Dress?
Slips are familiar to most women, as thigh to full-length inner wears meant to be worn underneath sheer dresses. Various designers began providing the slip dress. To some the slip dress was shockingly bare, particularly the top, and designers like Mainbocher sought to compensate for the skimpy top by matching it with small jackets worn over the dress. In the present time, the slip dress was usually a fitted bust and a narrowly fitting dress with a long skirt, which looked very much like the traditional undergarment.
A slip dress is a dress for street wear styled like a slip, fitting close to the body and having narrow shoulder straps. Slips are generally altered of a soft and slippery fabric such as polyester, nylon, silk, satin, although cotton slips are also used particularly in hot nations. A full slip hangs from the shoulders, usually by means of narrow straps, and extends from the breast to the fashionable skirt length. The term should not be confused with the British English ”gymslip,” an outer garment put on by girls during physical education classes in high school.
