Half slips

A layer for skirts

A half slip starts at the waist, making it an option when a skirt needs a separate layer but the top half of an outfit does not. Choose the position of the waistband in relation to the skirt you will wear.

Check the moving hem

Try sitting, walking and climbing a step. The slip should not unexpectedly appear below the outer hem or through a slit. Compare garment measurements instead of relying on a model’s height.

Shape and movement

A straight skirt and a full skirt may need different amounts of room beneath them. Look at the cut, not just the stated length, and check that the layers move without pulling.
