These full slips have things straps that are adjustable and are a satin or polyester blend to keep that slinky feel. They often have a lace or crocheted trim. Another option is a slip skirt, which is exactly what it sounds like, it covers your lower half and works well under skirts or dresses. These slip skirts are either shorter in style, hitting about mid-thigh to knee length and sometimes may have a slit on one side.
