Young Blonde Girl Reveals On The White Couch In A Full Pink Lace Slip

Many slips have floral lace at the hem and/or the "vents" or "sideslits". Some of the older slips have decorations, such as a butterfly or flowers sewn into the fabric of the slip, and a pillowtab was also added to the waistband of a waist slip. The vast majority of slips are made of 100% nylon, while others are made from polyester, rayon, acetate, silk or in some cases cotton. Still, there are others made of blends, and the label of the garment might read "40% nylon, 35% rayon, 25% polyester". Nylon slips are often shiny in appearance, and are very smooth to the touch, while polyester slips can even be more shiny with a real slippery feel, especially charmeuse or "satin" slips. Although charmeuse slips have very attractive eye appeal, they are not as durable as nylon slips, and often tear very easily, especially when wet.
History

In the late 1940s, some nylon slips began to appear on the market, and the vast majority of slips made in the 1950s were nylon.In the 1960s,slips were offered in a much more variety of colors,including multi colored slips.Slips with a floral print design were also made available.Some of the most well known slip brand names of the past are: Lorraine, Dior, Velrose, Mel-Lin, Shadowline, Wonder Maid, Warner's, Kayser, Maidenform and Van Raalte among others. There are well established slip/lingerie manufacturers still in operation today such as Vanity Fair, and Vassarette.
