D'oh !

I think that petticoats are perhaps becoming a thing of the past .

I recall buying some in British Home Stores a few years ago .
M and S do still have them though they tend to be body shapers .
Primark have one style in stock now .
Their dress version is OK though I'm going to pad out the cups on the bra bit .

Otherwise , it's Amazon and after the purchase of some horrendous yoga pants - I'm cautious of buying from them .

I looked for a slip to wear under my summer dresses but could find none. I ended up buying what my husband refers to as Queen Victoria's knickers. 🤣

I've bought those go down a dress size slips ( from M and S ) and ended up going into the loo in restaurants to remove them as they are so uncomfortable . When you can't even eat your meal - there's no point in going out !

The "dress "that I bought from Primark has a slightly slimming /smooth out bumps effect .
They are too hot to wear when sunny , but should be okay as the weather cools .

Ha ha, Esmay ... I just wanted something smooth and a bit stretchy to wear under a slightly clingy wedding outfit skirt! I didn't want the whole corset get-up!

(Though maybe that would have been easier!)

What's happened to petticoats and slips ?

My grandmother wouldn't have gone out without one over her reinforced corset and huge bloomers .

I recall the layers even worn on a boiling hot day !

Just finding a decent "half-slip" was a pain recently. Nothing that I wanted anywhere...

I bought two "full-slips" online in the end... when they arrived, one was in fact, a dress!
