Do any young women still wear slips?

LOL, I know. I've missed a week or two of posts and I guess missed some prolific troll postings, now I'm running across the oddest thread titles with veteran GCers names under them... it's too funny.

I always wore one with my ritual dress... no one needed to see what type of panties I was wearing. I also wear them with unlined dresses if I think I'll have VPL.

Obviously - although we all believe John McCain was far too liberal. We're hoping Wolfowitz runs in 2012.

...I'll actually answer the thread, although those posts are damn funny.

I'm 20 years old. I own two slips - one nude, one black. I have an issue with falling in love with dresses that are sheer in sunlight. My New Year's Eve dress was one of those...
While I was getting ready, blow drying my hair and such, I just had my slip and other underthings on. My boyfriend walked by and was like "What is that? You look like you're from the '40's."
Yeah...I wear slips far more often than panty hose, tho.

only when the skirt is too tight

I always wear slips and fully pantyhose. I was brought up that way and cannot leave the house now without wearing a slip, both full and half. I know I have several, mostly in white, black, and blue. The purpose of a slip was two-fold. One for not showing pantylines in your backside, and two because when dresses were made years ago, they didn't have linings, so to ensure that the dress/skirt/blouse wasn't seen through, a slip was worn. I prefer to wear one now-a-days, cannot leave the house without one.

We covered that, and since most skirts/slacks today are lined, and women wear Spanx to avoid VPL and pudge sneak-out, then they're not as necessary.

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.
