Do any young women still wear slips?

What is the play/movie where the woman is always in a slip? Was it "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" with Elizabeth Taylor? I think full slips are sexy, but then again I'm an old lady who grew up always wearing slips. Does anyone else remember "Pettit Pants" which were basically almost knee length panties with 3 layers of ruffles at the bottom. We wore those in high school with our coulottes (split skirts). I wish I would have saved some, my D would think they were a hoot.

Yes that was COAHTR. I believe that there used to be something in the Production Code for movies that said a woman could not be shown wearing a bra and half slip, it had to be a full slip. Of course on Elizabeth Taylor that works a little differently.

The last time I wore a full slip was at my 2 little's wedding - she made the bridesmaids' dresses and us buying slips was hella easier than lining the things.

Actually yes Army Wife, I do remember those because my Grandmother had a drawer full of them. She always wore slips with everything that I can practically think of until she got sick. The funniest thing was that her daughter, my oldest aunt didn't wear full slips, she only wore half slips. I discovered this when I was getting her clothing ready for her funeral. I was frantically searching for her makeup, her clothing (which her son had picked out) and her underclothes. Not being able to find the makeup or her underclothes, I had to go into my Mom's stash. All I could find of my
Aunt's underclothes were a pair of lime green panties. Suffice to say, she was buried in my Mom's underclothes and makeup. After the funeral, I asked my Mom about it and she said, "well yes, she never wore full slips only half." I was like if you'da told me that earlier...yadda, yadda, yadda.
