Static on chiffon

I have finally found the outfit for my daughter's wedding. It is a chiffon top and trousers. The top is fine but the trousers cling to my legs with static. Any ideas what I can do to stop this? Do you think having them dry cleaned would help?

I have a couple of pairs of crepe trousers that cling, so I shortened a coupleof pairs of silky pyjama trousers in navy and black to wear underneath. That works a treat. Checking out what's available on Amazon sounds like a good idea.

I've got an anti static spray (john Lewis) which actually works .....

I should have said, the John Lewis aerosol spray is sprayed onto the garment! Not your body .....

If you don’t mind washing them before the Big Day, add a generous amount of fabric conditioner to the last rinse and don’t spin too much, better to drip dry if possible. Always works for me.

Kacee Wash the trousers and use softener. Somebody told me to do this with a top that was clingy and it definitely worked for me.

Heard that hair spray on the legs works... but never tried it! Good luck Kacee..
