Does anyone wear slips anymore? More specifically, full slips? I was just wondering, because I haven't seen any in stores forever! I have some dresses, though, that really seem like they were made to have a slip underneath. I can find them online, but even online they seem sparse and I was wondering if I am just really behind the times or something. Just wondering!
ETA: I thought I created a thread like this before, but I searched and couldn't find it. So...apologies if I'm being redundant!

I do - I seem to have more static cling than the average person - I love them. I just wear a short silk chemise or a half slip. I think Anthro has some cute full slips too. :)
i do, as evidenced by my post in the weekday shopping thread. i have a couple white and beige, and a black and navy. mostly i wear them under sheer items of clothing...or when something is too low-cut. i'd like to buy more colored slips to wear under my eyelet dresses.
No, I don't even own one anymore! I don't think they'd really work underneath any of my dresses, but I was just thinking the other day that I should buy one just for fun to wear.
I have a few left over from my Courtney Love phase days (Wearing the full slips layered as a dress thing). I do still wear them under dresses. The ones I kept are vintage but I've seen full slips for sale in department stores like Dillards, Macys etc.
when i was working at marshall fields, i noticed that there were very few slips for sale and i never saw anyone buying one. i love them, i wear half slips under my thinner skirts or just for an extra layer in the winter. i got most of mine from thrift stores.

Actually I kind of collect vintage full slips - they are my pajamas in the summer time. Some are from ebay and some are from scouring. The only skirts I have that I don't wear a slip with are my jean skirts. I've found cheap 1/2 slips at Target that are for function only - they sure aren't pretty

I have several - I get them at department stores like Macys or Saks. Also Anthro. Anthro has cute retro ones,pretty ones. I like them under wrap dresses or really sheer dresses mostly.
I have a couple vintage but I think that you're ri9ght - some of the dresses now seem like you should wear a short slip under. But b/c they are so sort or low cut it's been hard to finsd anything right except at Anthro (can't justify $40 for a slip) here's a few I like but have yet to splurge on...
Yes! I hear my Mom's voice in my ear if I go out with a dress and no slip underneath. I find them at lower end places like JCP, Walmart - cute one I am wearing now - black long tank style came from ... KMart. It was 7.99 or something like that ...
