Jean in Newcastle Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Static cling? Do you have a dryer sheet you can rub over your legs and skirt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsJewelsRae Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 You can put lotion right on overtop of your nylons, or rub the area with a fabric softener sheet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyThreeSons Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 A little water misted onto the inside of your skirt might do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Wet you hands and lightly spread a bit of water on the fabric. You can't get static unless it's dry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotSoObvious Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Hairspray! If it is sticking to your nylons, spray a little hairspray under there. I don't know why it works, but it does, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaxMom Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Um... Do people not own slips anymore? All the wetting, lotioning, spraying, etc, will only be temporary. You get bunched up again once you dry, and from experience, at the most inconvenient time and place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FaithManor Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Thanks everyone. The dryer sheet worked and then someone at church said hairspray on the lining would help, so since more than one of us was having a static problem, we ended up doing that as well.

LaxMom Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Slips? I've never had a problem finding them--JCPennys, Macy, just about any department store I know of carries them. That's what I thought, but then I tried to remember the last time I went looking in the lingerie section for a slip and... Well, it's been a while. I mean, once you have one or two full slips and a couple of half slips, you're really set for life, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Last time I looked for a store bought slip, I found one and only one...it was a full slip at JC Penny's and synthetic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Laxmom, slips are difficult to find anymore. Walmart. Not fancy or luxurious, but they do the job. My dds say that slips are out of style. I remind them that classy dressing never goes out of style. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LJPPKGFGSC Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 slips Laxmom, slips are difficult to find anymore. And if you want a cotton one, you have to have it made. I have made them for people because of this. MommaDuck, I looked (in vain) for a slip for my daughter for the dress that I made for for Easter. The only thing that I could figure out (since I realized on Saturday that it needed a slip) was a pretty t-shirt that was way too big. I was planning to alter it, but she liked it the way it was. Anyway, this is my question - are cotton slips slippery enough? Can you explain in more detail what kind of cotton you use and what kind of pattern you use so that I can make one that actually fits!?! Thanks!

Candid Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Slip!!!! I was seated behind a poor young woman's who's dress was totally stuck to the back of her. I felt sorry for her. I did restrain my mom instinct to reach out and pull the thing down. Winter Silk has slips. Also Amazon has them but you need to search on a brand: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Dapparel&field-keywords=vantity+fair+slip&rh=n%3A1036592%2Ck%3Avantity+fair+slip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julie in CA Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I always though of slips at as a matter of practicality, not style. I guess it could be considered both. Wearing a sheer dress that everyone can see through isn't, in my opinion, desirable. Nor is wearing clingy fabric that hugs in all the wrong places when a slip could smooth it out and make it hang correctly. Sure, women do both of those things, but I don't think of it as stylish. Then again, I'm no fashion plate, lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckymama Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 But do you wear a slip if your dress is completely lined? All the dresses I own, with the exception of one lightweight sundress, are completely lined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 L, I have used cotton Broadcloth, muslin, batiste, and eyelet. Patterns depend upon what one wants and is planning to where it under...straight, gathered, full, half, etc. Patterns can be bought, use of regular garment patterns converted for slip use, drafted, etc. Length can be adjusted to whatever one chooses. Luckymama, at one time, yes, but no, not required. The lining should be suitable as a slip, but even I have had static issues with those, because of the synthetic. Cotton is less likely to stick, ime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

saraha Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 So synthetic do cling, I have one of those. What kind of slip wouldn't cling, but would still be slippery? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GailV Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Well, that's not good! Our local Kohl's also has them, and it appears that they also have them at Kohls. Com. The last slip I bought was a couple of years ago at Kohl's. The elastic waist of half slips eventually gives out, so they aren't a lifetime purchase. I need to put new elastic in the one I had planned to wear for Easter. And a slight tangent -- I've discovered oodles of online tutorials for making petticoats and crinolines -- apparently they're back in style due to the retro dresses that need the poof in order for the skirt to look good.

PrairieSong Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I rarely wear skirts or dresses anymore, but I'm sure I would feel utterly naked without a slip. What does one wear if not a slip? I grew up always wearing a slip with a skirt or dress (born in 1961) but haven't worn one in years. All my lighter weight skirts are lined.
