Any low-cut full slip suggestions?

During my closet review, I rediscovered another dress I've had for, um, an embarrassing amount of time. First, it took me a while to get it tailored (had to have the shoulders taken up, as per usual), and then, I realized that the fabric, a thin knit, is just a tad sheer. But I like the dress and would love to wear it if I could find a way to make it work. It fits well, and I like the simplicity but with the detail of the beaded shoulder.

So I've been keeping an eye out for a very lightweight, breathable, black full slip to wear underneath. The ones I have are either too constricting and heavy (Spanx, I may actually get rid of it) or too high cut in the neckline, so the slip shows in the neckline of the dress, and not in a pretty way. I tried a half-slip, but I don't like the line it makes around my waist -- I want a seamless look.

I should clarify that the neckline of the slip needs to be low and scooped, not just plunging. As you can see from the neckline of the dress, any kind of plunge will be visible on the sides of the dress neckline. This seems to be harder to find than one would think!

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I've been looking for the same thing in nude forever! Hoping someone has a solution.

Carter, I'll share anything I find with you. Why is this so hard? It's like I want the absolute simplest garment. No lace, no compression, just really lightweight to skim under the dress. And a deep scoop neck.

Pretty dress! It does deserve to be worn.

I have one of these and I really like it. It's super comfortable and does not bunch up.

It comes in black or nude, and there's also a control version available.

Parsley - I was going to suggest that slip but you beat me to it I have the mini cami version in nude. Pricey, but worth it. I really like the magnets that are sewn into the hem that keep it from creeping up.

Will something like this work? This site has lots of good stuff.

Janet, I wanted to add that the slip I showed has adjustable straps, and can be worn low enough not to show in a low neckline, so I think it should work for yours.

Parsley, I have added that to my shopping cart, thanks! Is it TTS? I'm hoping it's lightweight enough to be comfortable in summer.

Deb, I looked at that but it seems a little too long. Thanks for the suggestion of that site though -- I'll investigate further in case the Commando one doesn't work.

Janet, it's stretchy, so you could probably wear either the S/M or the M/L.
I have the M/L, and it is NOT too big at all, just body-skimming instead of tight. I think you'd be happy with the M/L.

Is the dress lined? I almost wonder if it wouldn't be worth have a lining put in or replacing it if you can't find a slip that works. One bonus is with good lining you won't be worrying about the slip staying in place.

I have this Nearly Nude slip. I like that it is cotton and only has "medium control". The straps are adjustable.

Nordstrom seems to have a TON of slips on their site. Not personally familiar with any, however.

Thanks, all! AM, I wondered about adding a lining. But the fabric is a slightly stretchy knit and quite fine, so I worry that the lining and the knit might not always lie together right and might bunch or bag, especially after cleaning.

Minnie, thank you! I don't want ANY control in a slip though. I just want it to skim and fall lightly, not hug.
