Getting the slip

GETTING THE SLIP

A non-clinging slip, half-slip or chemise is an essential item to create a smooth body line under clothes and allow clingy knits to skim over the body. In addition to the slimming slips described in the Shapers section, there are slips made of fabrics with anti-cling, antistatic properties that won't wash out, such as DuPont ANTRON III® nylon.

SLIP FIT TIPS

Slips go to all lengths to please, and should be chosen with your height and the length of your clothes in mind:

DEMI (D)	16 inches (mid thigh)
SHOR (S)	20 inches (top of kneecap)
AVERAGE (A)	22 inches (mid knee)
FASHION (F)	24 inches (bottom of kneecap)
TT	28 inches (mid calf)
LL	30 inches (lower calf)
FORMAL	37 inches (ankle)
FORMALT	40 inches (tall ankle length)

SIZING UP FILL SLIPS

Full slip sizing is equivalent to dress size and bust measurement:

DRESS SIZE	BUST MEASUREMENT	SLIP SIZE

10	32	32
12-14	34		34
16	36	36
