These things are PERFECT. I'm approximately 200 lbs. and 5'6. In Midwest humidity, it's important to find clothing that allows your skin to *breathe* as well as look professional. I found a bunch of cheap but durable swing dresses and thought I was set. Of course not.

In the winter, I wore thin, soft leggings underneath, but what happened? The leggings and dress fabric would cling together, essentially making me look like I was wearing a particularly horrifying wrestling singlet in a business casual wear setting.

I've only recently grown up enough to know that ladies slips and undergarments are around because they are HELPFUL. I originally ordered several half and full slips. I don't like spending money on clothing as a rule, so I was only willing to buy the less expensive products. The full slips that I liked all had lace trim at the bust (which was easily visible under the smooth material of the dresses) and the half slips came down too far or not far enough.

Honestly, I was searching for some type of slick bike short as a kind of life hack to make the dresses work. I remember my mom had a pair of these when I was a teen that I would wear when lounging around the house in the gross, hot summer. I decided to give these a try as a last resort.

I put them on under the dress I was wearing as soon as I got them in the mail. They. Feel. Great. No cling, nice and breezy, no thigh rub, keeps the look work appropriate if the dress momentarily bounces up while moving around, I mean, a real savior for my summer wardrobe. I'm ordering my second set of 3 in black because I already know they'll be a daily wear.
