marydee35: 1950s Lingerie: Slips and Petticoats Beautiful and luxurious, the slip was firmly woven from quality cotton or rayon crepe or rayon satin with rich lace, fancy eyelet, ruffles, pleats, embroidery or applique. Slips came in full lengths, down to the knee, or half lengths, from waist to knee. Half slips were worn with one piece dresses while two peice suits or separates were worn with a full slip. A full slip should cover the bra completely and should not show under clothing. 1950s slips usually had thin adjustable straps. Common colors were pink, peach, light blue, navy, yellow, Nile green, black and white. Their beauty rivaled that of 1950s nightgowns. -- source link
