Question here out of curiosity: Second only (for me, the sensuous feel of the tug of nylon gartered stockings) the other piece of feminine garment that I always wear under my dresses or skirts are a full or half-slips.
Does anyone else do the same?

If the hemline of my dress or skirt is at my knees or below and depending on the event that I am going out to; I elect to wear a slip to feel more like a lady.

I was wearing a dress, today, and I had to take it off. It was, basically, 50/50 cotton / polyester. It wasn’t all that warm out.

Being an older crossdresser I find slips just part of my wardrobe along with dresses, nylons, lacy bras and full cut silky panties. That’s just what girls and women wore when I was young and in my mind wearing the same just makes me feel so wonderfully feminine. I love the silky feel of slips and of course some pretty lace to add to the wonderful sensual feel and look of slips. I wear both full and half slips and add a cami with my half slips. Slips are just so wonderfully Girly and Feminine…I LOVE THEM!!

I agree that it makes the experience more fulfilling and complete to wear a slip underneath a dress, while also wearing pantyhose. Also it is nice to wear a slip over a bra.

I have a couple of cold weather outfits where the fleece lining in the skirt rides up horribly on fleece tights if I don’t wear a slip. That’s about the only time I wear one though.

She has a sister who donated many of her slips to me, so I have a large collection. Like many here, I sometimes wear a slip to bed, but I recently bought a silky nighty I prefer to slips and that seems more acceptable to her, as she does not like my wearing a slip or bra to bed but seems ok with a nighty..

Registered On: August 28, 2023Topics: 8Replies: 156Has thanked: 261 timesBeen thanked: 605 timesI’ve been trying to think exactly when it stopped being normal for women to wear slips under skirts and dresses. I can certainly remember my wife wearing them in the 90’s but by the 2010’s I never saw her wearing one. I guess the mini-skirt put paid to petticoats and I think created the idea of the bra-slip but the routine wearing of half and full-slips seems to have died out relatively recently. The problem with slips was always being able to find one of exactly the right length for the skirt or dress you were wearing. I remember buying my wife a whole collection of half-slips of varying lengths in both black and white so that she always had a slip of the right length and colour. She thought this was a wonderful present and I remember my wife telling her mother about this thoughtful gift from her husband. From the look on my mother-in-law’s face you could tell she was wondering exactly why I was buying her daughter all these slips! At the time I never questioned my wife’s motives for telling her mother this story but on reflection I now wonder if she wanted to start sowing some seeds in people’s minds about my crossdressing. It’s a thought but I will never know now.
Finally to the question, do I wear slips, the answer is that now I never do. With the one caveat that if a dress comes with a built in slip (usually for modesty reasons) then I will obviously wear the dress with the slip, but otherwise I don’t wear slips. I normally try and wear what women of today actually wear on a day to day basis and for most women that doesn’t include a slip But I do understand why if someone wants to emulate the past then a slip is essential.

The lace trim peeking out from under the hem has an unbelievable effect on the guys. Nothing like teasing the boys with an “accidental” showing when sitting and crossing your legs so there is a peek-a-boo. I also love the feeling of the material against my body. Yes, I am an old-fashioned girl who enjoys every aspect of being feminine.

The petticoat is indeed, IMHO, just as powerful a tool in the arsenal of femininity as a pair of stiletto heels, a view of cleavage, a pretty pair of legs, etc. The lace trim of the petticoat peeking out from under your dress or skirt is powerful. It sends us girls into the pink fog and drives men crazy. Let’s not forget that lovely swishing sound of the petticoat either, as you walk. I sometimes wear petticoats and get compliments from women and see a few guys with their eyes popping out of their head.

It’s something not worn as much by women these days so availability of nice lacy ones that were in abundance when I was younger.

Most of my half slips are too long for my skirts. And it’s not that my skirts are all that short, it’s just that the slips are long. Rolling up the elastic waist to make it fit or wearing it too high is just not going to look right. Also, many of my skirts are pretty full, whereas the slips are a little bit narrower and don’t have a leg slit so I lose a bit of freedom in my legs.
I also have a few full slips, but these are worn a lot less often than the half slips.

Some of my skirts and dresses are lined so the need for a slip isn’t there. When I wear them the feeling is like having a slip on though. I remember my mother wearing one all the time. I asked her once why she wore them and she told me to help with the line of the dress. That was when I was very young and long before I thought of dressing, or maybe I was and just didn’t realize it.

LadyRegistered On: March 16, 2022Topics: 2Replies: 583Has thanked: 3065 timesBeen thanked: 2327 timesWell Meghan, I wear a full or half slip as needed if my garment is sort-of see through or if the material is clinging and makes things look bunched up. Hence the slip of the slip, and your dress slides and hangs freely while you wear it. No fetish here, just smart dressing, also you don’t look x-rayed when you stand in front of the headlights. There are times however when I just wear a colored slip over my bra and use it as a slipdress under a blazer. It all depends on the event, my mood and the weather. Also I will sew the side seams of a slip to make it much more fitted to my body or cut off part of the bottom to match my mini. I hope that this make some sense. Marg

Now, most of my skirts are above the knee, and the full slips I have are full length, so it is a serious faux pas to wear a short skirt with the slip exposed. I stopped wearing dresses as I can’t contort myself to zip up the back zipper.
I have one half slip, and I sometimes wear it. It is a jockey half slip, and the tag said no static, but what I found was the half slip caused alot of static (false advertising ??), plus I bought a size too big so adding up static and too big a size I stopped wearing the half slip.
So for me, full/half slips are out.
