Intro
The barely there slip is one of the most comfortable pieces of lingerie I have ever owned. Slips are usually worn by women under a dress or skirt. Their purpose is to help prevent chafing with certain materials (like wool), help fade visible undergarment lines, and to help with sheer materials. They are usually made of silk, satin, polyester, tricot, nylon, or cotton. They are usually detailed with lace to give a more feminine appearance with a hint of sex appeal. Full slips are often comfortable enough to be worn as nightgowns as well. There are also half slips which are just skirts. The barely there slip is no exception. This piece is extremely comfortable. You will find yourself ordering more than one because of its comfort level.

Material and Care
The tag marks this slip as 88% polyester and 12% spandex which is exclusive of the decoration. Washing instructions say to machine wash with warm water on gentle with like colors. Then separately tumble dry on low and remove promptly. You should not twist or wring this piece. While these are what the tag recommend to do, this is not what I do. I hand wash this piece using Dona's Lingerie Wash. And I hang dry this as well. I do this because the decoration is delicate lace. In order to keep the lace nice, I opt to hand wash this piece. I have never machine washed this piece.

The feeling of the material is amazing. This material is silky, soft, stretchy, breathable, and clingy. It feels really similar to bathing suit material. It does have a blocky or grainy pattern to it. (Blocky or grainy refers to the way the material is woven. It has thin lines up and down and side to side.) The material does tend to snag on hang nails which result in the material fraying all over.

Design
This slip starts off with two very simple silk ribbon straps. There is a small plastic piece to adjust the straps, but this adjustor doesn't do it's job well. The straps are attached to the slip at an elastic band all around the very top of the slip. This elastic band is covered with lace to hide it and give a more feminine appearance. The top is peaked at the center of the cups and comes down to expose some cleavage. There is an elastic band in the middle of the front to give a bunched up effect. This is right in between your breast area. There is also a silk ribbon bow. The slip is solid from here down with a seam on each side. But the left side of the slip has a split. At the very top of the split is a silk ribbon bow. This split is about even with your panty line area. And finally, the very bottom of the slip has a lace boarder. The lace has a large lotus flower design to it.

Length to the Split- 19"

Quality
There are no issues with the quality of this piece. The only thing I will note on is the split is sensitive to tugging, so be gentle with it.

Size
The barely there slip is available in Black and red from sizes Small - 3x. I ordered the 1X. According to the size chart the 1X should fit sizes 18-20, Bust 44 - 47, Waist 34½ - 37½, and hips 46 - 48. After reading the other reviews of others mentioning the sizing was a little small, I decided the 1X was a good pick for me because the L was cutting it too close.

It fits me nicely. I absolutely love this slip. The 1x was the right size for me. And it's going to be the right size for a lot of ladies. There is a lot of stretch to this material, so it'll work for a variety of sizes.

Size chart is close to accurate, but a little on the small side. If you are close to the cutoff on the size; you should order one size up!

Overall
Overall, I am really happy with this slip. It fits like a glove. I can wear it to sleep in. And it is sexy. You can't go wrong with this piece.
