That covers it, right?
Not quite. There’s an essential missing piece that many young ladies overlook:
The slip.
That’s right. The layering piece of the satin, silk, or nylon variety in various lengths and neutral shades, worn under sheer, lightweight, or clingy skirts and dresses. You wear this little number as a skirt beneath your skirt, and voila! You’ve got an instantly smoother rear silhouette.
Here’s how, and why they’re a must-have:
-Panty lines virtually disappear
-your behind is fully covered from all sides
-you’re protected from a wind-induced wardrobe malfunction
-the feeling of just one extra layer somehow makes you feel more fully dressed, no matter the season. I don’t know why, but it’s like wearing a camisole under a blouse.
-it’s a sign of a lady
If you missed the memo you’re not alone; I remember seeing slips growing up but only my mom, aunts and grandmas wore them. I saw them as something old women wore until I ran into an issue many of you can identify with: many of the dresses I bought to wear for church weren’t lined. As a result, it seemed like no matter what type of underwear I wore, you could see everything. A friend of mine put me on to them and I don’t know how I ever did without.
They instantly forgive any unlined or thin or see-through bottoms with that extra little layer. They’re always appropriate. Every young woman should have at least one. I was in Kohl’s one summer day last year and walked up to the counter with two nude colored slips. I was stunned when the cashier asked as she rang them up “What is this?” With a smile, I politely responded “a slip” and suggested she get one.
