slip

David Ring

Drawing made by David Ring for the visualisation of the Europeana Fashion Thesaurus. The description of the concept in this drawing is: Underwear usually made the length of the garment under which it is to be worn, thereby taking the place of a lining. Usually applied to full slips with a bodice and shoulder straps made in dress length. Prefer "half slips" for skirtlike underwear extending from the waist to near the hemline of the garment with which it is worn. (AAT)
