question about lingerie
Well, lingerie may be gilding the lily a bit, but I want to make a
couple of split slips. I'm not sure if this is the right term. Not bloomers, but something to wear under a skirt to prevent chafing. I was thinking about just taking a pajama bottom pattern and doing knee length legs. I plan to use cotton batiste and narrow elastic. My question is if anyone can tell me how this will look under a skirt? I know it will depend on the skirt to some extent. I tend to prefer cotton gauze and other lightweight fabrics. It gets far, far too hot in the summer for anything else! I appreciate all the help y'all have been! Sue |

You might want to make the legs a bit wider than traditional PJ's - more sort of A line from the side-waist out to the them. I made some years ago, out of a silk/cotton mix, with very pretty cotton lace round the hems. From outside the skirt, no-one can tell your slip has two legs rather than one! -- Kate XXXXXX R.C.T.Q Madame Chef des Trolls Lady Catherine, Wardrobe Mistress of the Chocolate Buttons http://www.katedicey.co.uk Click on Kate's Pages and explore! |

It will work wonderfully. I used to do it all the time and need to make
more to do it again. S wrote: Well, lingerie may be gilding the lily a bit, but I want to make a couple of split slips. I'm not sure if this is the right term.

question about lingerie
This garment is called: Petti-pants. Very popular in the 70s.
Still occasionally available; I bought one a year or so ago, nylon. Look for pattern with Petti-pants. HTH.

I know what you mean--- sort of like long tap-pants. I have at least one old pattern (Vogue 8219) for those and Vogue called them "culotte liners". ( I may have more in my vintage pattern collection but I don't have time to look right now) I think I've also seen the term "pant-slips". There were other names too that I cannot recall. And you could even make ones that went right down to the ankle; those could be worn under trousers in the winter. Some were quite wide-legged and other fit like a glove. I'm curious where you get your 100% cotton batiste. I used to get mine from Gohn Brothers but I'm not sure they are in business anymore and I haven't been able to find cotton batiste, especially in any color other than white, since. Another possibility you may have already explored is knee to mid-knee length cotton lycra "tights" like those used for exercise and dance wear. Those might be especially good for chafing as long as you make sure they are at least 90% cotton. They do not bunch up. -- I fear me you but warm the starved snake, Who, cherished in your breasts, will sting your hearts. (Henry VI, Shakespeare) |

They also carry 100% cotton lawn at a much lower price: http://www.fabricdepot.com/Catalog.aspx?ItemKey=220 and: http://www.fabricdepot.com/Catalog.aspx?ItemKey=159 HTH, Beverly |
