Kate Middleton's skirt flies up image from Styleite |
When it's hot outside, the last thing one wants to do is add an additional layer of fabric, but wearing a slip with an unlined skirt makes a big difference in the way the skirt moves. Expensive dresses are cut to flow as the woman walks, but cheap dresses are cut only to cover the body and look attractive enough on a hanger to get someone to buy them. Simply adding a slip makes even cheap dresses flow a little more, which, in turn, makes the dress look a bit more expensive.

Such pretty colored slips image from Folly |
I love pretty colored slips, because they can double as a nightgown when traveling, and if they accidentally become visible, one will not be too embarrassed.
Remember when the Duchess of Cambridge's yellow dress flipped up in the wind from the helicopter? She handled it very well, but adding a slip will keep one from being over-exposed in the wind during helicopter landings... and in the wind tearing down a city avenue.
