Do any young women still wear slips?

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.

Yes, thongs have the dental floss sitting between the butt cheeks. The door swings both ways with me on the thongs. Don't really like them, but you don't get pantylines sitting across my bandonkadonk.

Can't they wear a slip?

Depending on the skirt/dress, I wear slips. Like previously mentioned, if the skirt is lined or a pencil skirt, then no. But since I live in a hot climate, most of my dresses and skirts are cotton and therefore somewhat see through depending on the light and unlined I wear slips. And since I teach high school, and they notice everything, I wear slips. I tend to wear slips when I have cotton skirts on as well, because the skirts I wear practically all summer long tend to balloon up, ala Marlyn Monroe, and if that happens, I'd rather have a same color slip pop out than undies. Always a half slip.

I stopped reading here. That's too much info, but I get it now and appreciate your response.

Thanks

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.

My slip story - I was in an acting class as an undergraduate doing a scene from (let's see if I can get this title right) "Oh Dad, Poor Dad, Mama is in the Closet and I'm Feeling So Sad.". It required me to be in a slip - do the scene with a man, but before I took off the slip, a body (another actor) was supposed to fall out of the "closet" and end the scene.The "body" missed her cue, so I had to try and continue to keep the scene going. Horror - sheer horror for me, as I contemplated the fact that I was in my underwear in front of 20 students and my professor, "glowing" like a mule, and trying desperately to end the stupid scene.

Good times.

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.
