Linen half slips

Linen Half Slip

Linen half slip undergarments solve 3 common dress problems: they prevent transparency, enhance silhouette shape, and create smooth lines under fitted clothing. Made from 100% eco-certified linen, these slips deliver exceptional breathability against the skin while maintaining the elegant drape of outer garments.

Types of Linen Half Slips

The linen half slip collection includes several distinct styles to address different wardrobe needs. The fitted design measures approximately 21" with a bias-cut that contours to your body. Side slits ensure freedom of movement when wearing fitted skirts or pants. This simple piece functions like a second skin, preventing outer garments from clinging.

Trapeze style half slips with decorative details feature a longer length with bottom ruffles and delicate lace detail. This style creates fullness under A-line dresses, with the flared shape ensuring elegant movement and preventing the transparency issues common with white linen dresses.

For longer outfits, extended underskirts with decorative frills work perfectly under maxi dresses or as standalone skirts. The elastic waist ensures a perfect fit regardless of body type.

Material and Construction Quality

Handcrafted from premium Italian linen and pre-washed before shipping, these half slips carry OEKO-TEX certification guaranteeing they're free from harmful substances. The linen becomes softer with each wash without shrinking, while attention to detail includes carefully finished seams and attached lace elements that maintain their shape through multiple care cycles.

Choosing the Perfect Size

To find your ideal size, use a measuring tape for your natural waist and compare to the size chart. Available in sizes from XS through 3XL, these slips accommodate various body types. Customers who purchased these slips are absolutely thrilled with the fit, noting how the elastic waistband stays in place throughout the day.

The regular price range for quality linen half slips typically falls between $80-145, reflecting the premium materials and handcrafted nature. Consider these an investment piece rather than a recurring purchase, as proper care ensures longevity.

Colors and Styling

Available in numerous colors including natural undyed flax, white, black, and various pastels, these slips complement any dress color. White linen half slips pair perfectly with lighter summer dresses, while darker colors work seamlessly under heavier fabrics.

Care Instructions

Maintain your linen slip with simple care: machine wash at moderate temperatures, tumble dry on low heat or air dry, and use gentle detergents without bleach. Warm iron if needed for crispness. The linen becomes softer and brighter with each wash while maintaining structural integrity.

Most shops offer multiple payment method options including deferred purchase arrangements for qualifying customers.

Linen Half Slips: FAQ's

What is a half slip?

A half slip is a waist-to-hem undergarment worn under skirts or dresses to reduce transparency, prevent fabric cling, and improve drape. Unlike full slips, it covers only the lower body. A linen half slip is made from natural flax fiber, offering better breathability and moisture control than synthetic options.

Is a linen half slip better than cotton or viscose?

A linen half slip is more breathable and durable than cotton or viscose. Linen regulates heat, absorbs moisture efficiently, and dries faster. Cotton is softer but retains heat and wrinkles more. Viscose drapes well but traps sweat and degrades with frequent washing. For summer and layering under white linen skirts or lightweight dresses, linen offers the best performance.

How to prevent linen slips from riding up or twisting under a dress?

To prevent riding or twisting, you need to adjust fit and fabric friction. Choose the correct waistband size to secure the slip at the waist or hips. Pair it with dresses made from non-slippery materials like cotton or linen. Avoid bias-cut slips with excessive stretch. A pre-washed linen half slip reduces stiffness and moves more naturally with the body.
