What Is a Full Slip?
What is a full slip? A great question and one we're hoping to answer for you. A full slip is a lightweight undergarment that is worn under dresses and skirts. There are two options a full slip and a half slip (which we discuss at some other point) A full length slip starts at the shoulder and usually come with discrete spaghetti straps, they come in a variety of lengths starting from above the knee to below the knee and our designed to make a smooth layer between you and your clothing giving a polished finish to any outfit.
We offer a selection of full length slips in a variety of different lengths and colours, so we have an option to complete any outfit.
Creates a Smooth, Flattering Silhouette
The biggest benefit you will get from wearing a full slip is the finish it creates beneath your clothing and its one of those things where you won’t believe us until you try it. As we're sure you know many dresses or skirts are made from a clingy fabrics that can really highlight your underwear lines and nobody wants VPL or the way that they can cling to your body and show all the lumps and bumps that you don’t want them to see. This is where a slip is a life line it creates a barrier between you and your outfit to smooth and give a more streamlined finish to any outfit.
Prevents Dresses from Clinging
Static electricity you don’t know where it’s come from or why you can’t get rid of it but the most annoying thing it causes is the way it makes dresses and skirts cling awkwardly to your body, especially during colder months.
A full slip acts as a protective barrier, think of it as your own personal first line of defence as it allows the fabrics to move naturally. This helps your outfit drape beautifully while giving you greater confidence and comfort throughout the day.
Improves Comfort
At AmpleBosom.com we have one main purpose and its to make sure your comfortable all day long and a slip does just that. As many of us with sensitive skin will know some fabrics can feel rough against the skin and this is where a full slip will be a life line as it creates a soft, breathable layer between your skin and your clothing, reducing any friction and making even a structured outfit feel comfortable all day long.
Adds Extra Coverage
Another great benefit to a full slip is the added extra coverage it provides. A lot of dresses nowadays are lightweight, sheer or even quite low cut. A full slip helps provide a discreet, thin coverage to any outfit and helps prevent that uneasy feeling of can people see through or not and gives you confidence and comfort all day long. So whether you're wearing a lighter coloured dress or simply prefer little extra modesty, a full slip offers reassurance while maintaining a natural appearance, because who is going to know!
Helps Protect Your Clothes
A full slip doesn't just benefit you—it also helps protect your favourite dresses.
By creating a barrier between your skin and your clothing, a slip can reduce the transfer of body oils, deodorant marks and perspiration, helping garments stay fresher for longer and reducing the need for frequent washing which can make your clothes last longer too, which is great for helping save the pennies.
Perfect for Special Occasion Wear
Wedding guest outfits, mother of the bride dresses or evening gowns, whatever the occasion a full sip is a great addition to finish off any outfit as it helps the garment hang well, ensuring a more polished look giving you confidence throughout the event.

Finding the right slip should feel light, comfortable and almost unnoticeable while providing that extra coverage you need.
