I had high hopes for this slip. It looked like the length would be long enough to cover my butt, it looks shiny and smooth, and whoooooot read leopard print!

It's made of 100% lycra (exclusive of lace trim) and stretches uniformly in all 4 directions. This is good and bad. On the good side, the 4 way stretch ensures it moves with you as it clings to your body without bunching and rolling up, it's not so good if you, like me, have curves in places your not entirely happy with. The material doesn't compress AT ALL so it just sort of lays on top your skin emphasizing every bump and bulge. So as I said, It's supremely comfortable, and my husband said I looked great in it, but I didn't like how my fat was, well, showcased.

I have a love/hate relationship with push up bras. This slip has the underwire support that most slips don't and the bra section is heavily padded with a rather extreme push-up bump. The effect it gives is impressive! My tits were up, and displayed like two neighboring planets hovering just below my chin. Now, why I hate bras like this, I've had breast re-construction surgery, and since then push up bras just make my boobs jump ship. Invariably, I will take two steps my nipples will gain purchase on the top of the bra and then after a few more steps my boobs are half out of the bra. This is just what happens do to my anatomy, and I'm just including this overshare so you understand why i don't talk about the bra itself at length.

My only other caveat with this garment is in the pictures it appears to have a lovely shiny satin finish, The one I have has a matte finish. It's still smooth and lovely, but I rather like the shiny satin look.

you CAN machine wash on the gentle cycle, and line dry. If you have a lingerie bag you can machine dry on low/gentle.
