My favorite underwear in the summertime is a slip short. It lets me wear dresses all day every day, and I don't need to worry about someone looking up my skirt. It gives you the freedom and comfort you need when you don't want to wear shorts. Of course, I also wear these in the wintertime under my dresses, but the addition of tights makes it a bit less critical for maintaining my privacy with my private parts. Don't you love how we paired a split slip with our gorgeous Midnight Bloom bra? I want to wear this under my clothes! Add some extra of your bra lace and make a matching set.
This slip short kit is designed for many styles of patterns. If you want to make something like the Jalie 2572, Bravo Bottoms #2 Boyshort or the Patterns for Pirates Cutie Booty, choose Microlycra or Microlycra Air. If you plan to make a pair from the Bravo Bottoms #3 pattern, choose Tricot. Tricot is a smooth, liquid and silky, as well as relatively opaque, but it only has 20% mechanical stretch across the grain so be aware of this when you chose your pattern. Microlycra and Microlycra Air have 100% stretch and are lovely nylon lycra fabrics.
