Yesterday at a different thread I told I had received a newly acquired vintage full slip. I was going to wear it today. Well, it more than exceeded my expectations. The eBay seller probably could have had more bidding if the slip had been described better. It is a very lacy hot pink slip. Although the maker tag is gone, the size and style tag is still there. It is American made by ILGWU members. But, the big surprise was it is a doubled layered slip.
Now I normally wear my slips to match the color of my dress. But, just sometimes I want to play the tease! I could not resist slipping this honey on. It hits just above the knee. The dress I choose is an adorable black by Silhouettes. It hits just below the knees and has cap sleeves. It has sparkling silver threads running through the fabric. It is definitely more of a party dress than ordinary day wear.
When I was growing up and already had developed the taste for lacy full slips, I ALWAYS, ALWAYS got excited by the hint of a slip under a dress. I love it when a full skirted dress reveals the slip underneath, such as white slip under black dress or, in my selection today, hot pink under black.
So, when you dress up to go out, do you play the tease sometimes or do you go for the more modest look. The women I know in my family say it is bad form to show your undergarments. However, if they would realize what a tease they could be, I think more women would give that little hint of expectation and excitement!
