Every girl has dreamt at least once about being a beautiful princess living in a wonderful palace with magnificent park ensembles and multiple servants. Then the girl grows adult but her dreams are almost the same except for one detail. Now she pictures herself as an elegant and sophisticated woman with a sense of style. But not a single wardrobe of such a coquette can do without sleek, slinky and sensual slips.

Just for some additional information: there are two types of slips, a full and a half slip. The full slip reminds me a sort of chemise, while the half one is an undergarment hanging from the waist. Few lingerie items look as sensual and womanlike as a slip. To tell the truth, my attention was completely driven by full slips, while half ones looked rather old fashioned. Well, that is only my first impression, besides slips are vintage lingerie, so everything comes right.
The variety of materials they are made is vast: from silk and satin to taffeta and rayon. Their styles are simple but will definitely satisfy tastes of every fashion lover. Slips are trimmed with lace, ruche, sheer, ruffles, pleats, embroidery, and so on and so forth. Not so simple, you may say.

During the golden era in the industry of lingerie the most renowned manufacturers of a slip were Van Raalte and Vanity Fair. But they are not the only ones to produce such a popular lingerie item, among others there are Movie Star, Gossard Artemis, Gotham Gold Stripe, Barbizon, and so on.
By the way, I wonder if you know that there is a slip dress designed specially for street wear. It looks like a full slip featuring thin shoulder straps. Today in different languages “slip” refers not only to chemise but also to female and male undershorts.

A modern woman has no reason to complain about the lack of variety of lingerie. Today designers create unprecedented styles and shapes, colors and designs. A vast range of sports shirts and sophisticated peignoirs, soft silk chemises and provocative bustiers –all of that will satisfy the most exigent woman. But there were times when lingerie was privilege and rarity.

As the main function of a woman is to create life, women on the Crete island wore tight bodices exposing breasts.
Ancient Romans did not use underwear at all. At times, they used to wear a loincloth or some kind of shorts, women could use breast cloth - but that was rather exception than a social habit.
In the Medieval times the first mentions of undergarments worn on regular base appeared. Then women used to wear chemises so that to protect clothing from sweat. But only in the Renaissance times underwear obtained not only practical but also seductive function. Sophisticated corsets with embroidery, laces and ribbons were designed to emphasize women’s beauty.

A century later, took place the lingerie revolution when corsets became smaller, appeared stockings with suspenders and garters. Supporting function took the privilege position with respect to appearance. That was an end of the era of corsets. Every new decade could boast of invention of new fabrics and introduction of new styles. The first lingerie factories were built.
I cannot but mentioning either about lingerie industry moving to Hollywood, because precisely then lingerie was for the first time designed for appealing and not practical reasons. That gave life to a pleiad of sexy and subtle lingerie beloved by modern women. Thanks to designers’ imagination we have a vast range of leotards, bodices, bras, panties, thongs, strings, corsets, chemises, and so on. This list seems to be endless. So dear women, let’s take advantage of such a great variety and make men go crazy.
