Living Silk Slip Size Guide

Finding the right size is important for achieving a comfortable, flattering fit. Use the Living Silk silk slip dress size guide below to choose the best size for your slip.

How to measure for the Slip Dress 

For the most accurate measurements, measure yourself while wearing lightweight clothing or underwear. Keep the measuring tape comfortably against your body without pulling it tight.

Bust

Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the measuring tape level across your back.

Under Bust

Measure directly underneath your bust, keeping the tape comfortably firm but not tight.

Waist

Measure around the narrowest part of your natural waist.

Hips

Measure around the fullest part of your hips.

Choosing the Right Slip Dress Size

When choosing your Living Silk slip size, consider both your measurements and how you would like the slip to fit.

A slip is designed to sit smoothly beneath an occasion dress without unnecessary bulk. If you are between sizes, your bust and under-bust measurements are particularly useful when determining the most comfortable fit.

If you are unsure between two sizes, the Living Silk team can help you select the most appropriate size based on your individual measurements.

Slip Dress Fit

The Living Silk slip is designed to provide a smooth and elegant foundation beneath occasionwear.

The fit should feel comfortable without being excessively tight. Adjustable straps allow you to personalise the length and positioning of the slip beneath your dress.

Because the slip is often worn underneath another garment, choosing the right size helps ensure that your complete outfit sits beautifully.

Silk Slips for Weddings and Occasionwear

A Living Silk slip is particularly useful when creating an elegant wedding or occasion outfit.

Wear your slip beneath a Living Silk silk dress for additional coverage and a smooth silhouette. It can be especially useful when wearing lightweight or semi-sheer fabrics.

A silk slip can also form part of an elegant mother of the bride or mother of the groom outfit when layered beneath an occasion dress or styled with other Living Silk pieces.
