The dress actually fits me more closely than the model; it's more body-conscious. I actually tried a standard silky slip I had with me, but because it wasn't clingy itself, it was bunched up by the fitted nature of the dress. It looks like there are some great ideas! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672792 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 12:22:32 +0000 Kristin L 672792@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think a silky slip should do the trick. That's a lovely dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672572 Thu, 19 Jul 2012 01:39:15 +0000 Theodora 672572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a slip from Only hearts, that I bought online. It comes is white and black, maybe nude? and is full length with spaghetti straps, but not really long, so that I didn't have to cut it shorter. It is not shapewear, just a slip! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672359 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 22:37:49 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 672359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still see those nylon tricot slips in stores, especially places like Kohl's and Sears. They may be old-fashioned but they do work really well especially under something that clings just that little bit too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672221 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:15:55 +0000 MsMary 672221@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I got a nice slip from the GAP. It's not exactly shapewear but it smooths me out a little under my knit dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672218 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:12:29 +0000 Scarlet 672218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would look for stretchy silk since the silk will still breathe. Pretty dress! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672205 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 20:01:57 +0000 Anonymous 672205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Whenever possible, I buy skirts and dresses that are lined. I hate shapewear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672126 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:52:12 +0000 Gaylene 672126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I found that wearing light-weight, silky undergarments often gives a nice smooth look without resorting to shape wear. I also have a silky "granny" pant with a bit of lycra in it that works well under my slim knitwear skirts. Not my prettiest undergarment, but it works. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672103 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:42:40 +0000 April 672103@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No personal knowledge here, but when I went searching, a couple of sites recommended a brand called Body Wrap. They apparently have a line of lighter-weight, hot weather shapewear. Also, I found this article: <a href="http://main.stylelist.com/2010/07/12/how-to-wear-summer-shapewear/" rel="nofollow">http://main.stylelist.com/2010.....shapewear/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/slip-advice#post-672065 Wed, 18 Jul 2012 18:15:05 +0000 Shu 672065@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi ladies,<br /> My husband and I had a belated anniversary getaway last weekend, complete with shopping! I picked up this pretty dress in "lava" <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=50129&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=421578&#038;scid=421578002" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=421578002</a>, and one of the things that attracted me to it was that it is flattering on me sans shapewear - perfect for warm summer days/evenings. After wearing it, I felt I could use just a tad more smoothing, but don't want the heat of skin-tight Spanx. Do any of you have a favorite slim slip? I should add that the Spanx I own are bike short length, and I haven't tried a shapewear slip. I'd be curious to know whether anyone has tried both and finds a slip cooler or not. If so, I'm not against Spanx or the like if a slip is cooler than my current shorts. </p>
