Copenhagen Bamboo slip under the dress

Short answer: A slip is worn when the dress is thin, clings or is uncomfortable directly against the skin. Bamboo viscose glides against the outer layer and removes static cling.

What the slip solves

Thin dresses turn see-through in backlight and catch on tights. A smooth layer in between solves both. See the models in bamboo slip.

Choosing the colour

Under light dresses nude is less visible than white. Under dark dresses black is the obvious one. The same principle as with nude knickers.

The length

The slip has to be shorter than the dress, otherwise the hem shows. Measure the dress from the shoulder and take off a couple of centimetres. See also bamboo slip and bodystocking.

Washing

Thin items take machine washing at 40 degrees in a laundry bag. Avoid the tumble dryer, which makes the fabric stiff. See the washing guide for bamboo clothing.

Slip or bodystocking

The slip covers from shoulder to thigh, while a bodystocking also fastens at the crotch and cannot ride up. Choose according to how close-fitting the dress is. See bamboo bodystocking.

Frequently asked questions

Does a slip remove static electricity?

Yes, in practice. A smooth layer between skin and dress stops most of the clinging.

Which colour should I choose?

Nude under light clothes and black under dark. White shows more clearly than most people think.

Can the slip be worn on its own?

It is intended as a base layer, but a few models are also worn as nightwear.
