Young and slim are requirements for this style. A mature or busty woman wearing a slip dress looks like she's walking about in 18th-century underwear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262258 Tue, 27 May 2014 18:37:07 +0000 Neel 1262258@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you everyone. Would have to take a second look and report if it's any worth. It looks like fun when worn the right way.</p> <p>The fit, length and material will make or break the decision. I do like the idea of showing less legs and more shoulder in theory. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262238 Tue, 27 May 2014 18:08:07 +0000 unfrumped 1262238@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in the "it depends" camp, too.</p> <p>Not all dresses with spaghetti straps are slip dresses, IMO.<br />The true slip dress is pretty minimal and almost delicate-appearing, barely-there kind of clothing&nbsp;and kind of demands a more waif-like build, or just the right build at any rate, to not look like a VS ad at best or trying too hard at worst. This is of course my jaundiced eye at work, since I am&nbsp; not a&nbsp;fan&nbsp;wearing&nbsp;clothing that looks&nbsp;like underwear or even&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;underwear visible. I think of it as date night/clubbing/special event (could be a long evening gown, for example). Certainly there have been gorgeous silk charmeuse gowns on the runways or red carpets worn by elegant (and usually young) ladies to great effect.</p> <p>A dress that is more structured or fitted, but with spaghetti straps might or might not have those issues.</p> <p>A lot of these type dresses are in fabrics that aren't especially cool (polyester) or practical.</p> <p>Otherwise for heat I think it is easier to be successful in a tank-top style dress in a cool fabric and fluid fit.</p> <p>But no harm in trying, as you may get the planets aligned in your dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262212 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:29:48 +0000 Mo 1262212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto Angie and Rabbit. &nbsp;In theory, I think they're great - in practice, it can go wrong. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262189 Tue, 27 May 2014 17:06:47 +0000 rabbit 1262189@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had something like this that was my warm weather lounge wear for years, it was so comfortable and it hung in a very flattering way. &nbsp;I think it all depends on how the fabric hangs and your body shape, it helps if it doesn't hold any wrinkles and has a little weight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262088 Tue, 27 May 2014 14:33:05 +0000 Angie 1262088@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm on the fence. Can look fab -&nbsp;or not so fab. It depends on the style and the wearer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1262053 Tue, 27 May 2014 14:09:27 +0000 rachylou 1262053@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the look of slip dresses. I don't have any tho because A) they don't offer much against A/C and B) I need crossback ones, because the straps fall down constantly on me. I've very slope-y shoulders. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261956 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:38:52 +0000 Diana 1261956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them as long as the fit is on the loose side. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261953 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:38:05 +0000 Neel 1261953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Shevia, LL and Janet for your inputs. </p> <p>Janet - I wouldn't dream of wearing anything without a bra! But the dress I tried was fitted at the bust and armholes, which was surprising. It covered my bra and bra straps too. I had to size down though. So I am not very sure (I wasn't really thinking!) if I lose the floatiness of the dress. In which case it doesn't serve the purpose. Would recheck and report back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261940 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:08:18 +0000 Janet 1261940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan if the bra issue is not a problem, and if the wearer is not too busty. I'm really picky about spaghetti strap styles and think they're harder to wear than people think. But you're young and slim, so I think it would be great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261935 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:05:59 +0000 leopardluxe 1261935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a fan if it's warm enough. I used to wear this style of dress all the time in the summers when I lived in Vegas. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261933 Tue, 27 May 2014 12:04:43 +0000 Jaime 1261933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bra problem! That was the first thing I thought, but apart from that looks good! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261871 Tue, 27 May 2014 09:05:03 +0000 Neel 1261871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Rute, Caro, Fuzzy and Joy. I could also wear my regular bra and it didn't show. Hmmm ... I would have to go back later this week and check it out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261869 Tue, 27 May 2014 08:58:03 +0000 Anonymous 1261869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From your description of the fit on you, a big Yay </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261865 Tue, 27 May 2014 08:46:52 +0000 Caro in Oz 1261865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab IMO. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/what-do-you-think-of-slip-dresses-for-summer#post-1261859 Tue, 27 May 2014 08:39:24 +0000 fuzzylogic 1261859@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay!
