Farm items from the area: slip selection for outfits
County Extension News advises on choosing slips to match outer garments. Guidance covers full length and half slips, petticoats, fit checks, fabric quality, seam finishes, and proper sizing by height and hip measures.
Choosing fabrics and straps for slips
Slips vary by fabric with cotton or other fibers offering easy care, while acetate and rayon are cheaper but less durable. Silk is expensive and high maintenance. Check strap attachment, ensure double stitching or nylon ribbon, and adjustable straps for proper bust and waist fit. Do not use straps to adjust length of the slip.
