Love or Loathe: The slip dress trend

A slip dress is a dress with spaghetti straps bearing the resemblance of an undergarment but worn as an outwear. It became popular in the 20th century as part of the underwear-as-outwear trend.

As with other fashion trends, once someone in the limelight wears a certain thing, every other person tends to follow.

While it may seem cool and really sexy especially with people with a lot of meat on their skin (hehe), I don’t see myself jumping on the slip dress train except I am wearing it to bed as a night gown lol. However, I especially love how it’s been styled by the people below. Take a look and while at it, do not forget to let me know your thoughts on this trend.

  1. I’ll probably buy one – try it out and then return it to the shop #lol – It’s one of those things that looks good on some and not others – in my opinion. but who knows. I might just wear one soon ^_^

      1. Yeah – It’s allowed here – as long as you haven’t worn it out or taken off the tags lol. I’ll order it online, try it out at home and send it back to them lol
