SLIP DRESS

Slip dress is a light, flowing dress of simple cut on thin straps, resembling underwear (a slip), hence the name. It is cut on the bias from fluid fabrics — silk, satin, charmeuse — so it pours softly over the figure, slightly hugging and emphasising the natural lines of the body. The slip dress became an icon of 1990s minimalist fashion (recall the looks of Kate Moss) and has returned regularly since as a symbol of effortless, sensual elegance. It is worn both on its own and in layered looks — over a T-shirt or under a jacket. The simplicity of the cut makes it versatile: from everyday to evening. Slip dress is a silhouette of minimalist, sensual elegance, in which flowing fabric and a simple strappy cut create an effect of relaxed, seductive and timelessly fashionable femininity.
