Maybe this subject has been on here before, but when it is so hot do any of you wear cotton slips? I find that they are much cooler and I don't sweat as bad as when I wear a nylon one.
I would like to know where you buy them. I have made slips in the past and I wonder what kind of cotton fabric too use.
Some help please.

I wear them to bed...I can't wear a regualar pj and I like to see it sticking out of my bathrobe in the morning..so sassy!! I find them online at discount prices. It would be fun to make my own.

Thanks everyone for the help and ideas. I think I still have the slip pattern that I used when my girls where still at home, about 30 years ago.

Melody - I just thought I'd let you know I was able to find all of them except the camisole pattern - apparently they don't make that one anymore, but I think I'm going to order the petticoat pattern as it also has a camisole with it. Thanks again!

Thanks Melody - I'll see if I can find them - I've been looking for something to wear under skirts - but I just can't tolerate the feeling of that slimy tricot on my legs! Cotton - batiste would be perfect.

Yes Sherri,
In the 80's I bought a line of patterns called "Folkwear". They were reproductions of older designs. I got all the ones of Victorian underclothes (# 234 of 4 Camisoles), (#203 Long petticoat, Camisole and drawers), #223 (Lady's Chemise) #201 (Prairie dress)#207 Kinsale long cape). I also have a wedding dress somewhere.
Hope this helps.
Smiles, Melody June

Melody, could you share the pattern information so I could do a search on a vintage pattern site? Thanks, Sherri

Nancy, you could make a slip. A few straight seams, an elastic waist band and a hem. You can use your imagination on adding vintage lace or leave it plain. You just follow the directions in the package. Just a little practice.

Hi Melody, do you use an actual slip pattern to make your slips and camisoles, or do you adapt a dress pattern?

Vermont Country Store carries 100% cotton batiste slips and camisole's. They have a catalog you can order also. I pick up vintage cotton percale sheets (they are so soft) at thrift shops and antique shops to make my own. I make the long Victorian slips and camisole's and wear them for prairie dresses. Hope this helps.

I would love to get one. I did buy some bastiste to make one..just haven't got it done yet. My sewing/laundry room is like a sauna this time of year. I need to just drag the sewing machine and all into the kitchen for a day!! I hope someone has had an idea where to buy one for you. It would be cooler than nylon for sure!

I didn't know that they still made them. I had one growing up. |
