The 12 Best Slips for Sheer Dresses That Need Extra Coverage

Not all under slips are purely for coverage. Spanx’s offering delivers the sculpting benefits of shapewear while also acting as a lightweight layer to wear under a sheer dress. With tummy and waist compression, it gently smooths without feeling too restrictive, and it won’t dig or roll throughout the day.

We also appreciate the balconette-style neckline with supportive adjustable straps. And with temperatures rising, the breathable, moisture-wicking fabric ensures it stays cool and comfortable throughout the day.

If you like the security that second-skin stretch-jersey provides, this is the under-slip for you.

Free People’s seamless dress will smooth and sculpt your figure, making it ideal for wearing on days you want a confidence boost. The slim adjustable straps offer additional support while the length is the perfect fit for your sheer midi or maxi dress.

There’s nothing more annoying than a slip riding up beneath your clothes. Calvin Klein’s “Stay Put” line is engineered to do what it says on the tin.

Subtly sculpting without shifting out of place, the mini slip offers light shapewear-level smoothing. Better still, detachable straps allow you to switch it into a strapless style for added versatility.

There’s something deliciously retro about a half slip. Commando’s is high-tech in its functionality, though: under that high-waisted skirt is a pair of powerful control shorts designed to smooth and keep everything feeling secure without digging.

Crafted from nylon, the soft material feels lightweight and seamless against the skin, disappearing under clothing while subtly sculpting.

This might just be the most hard-working wardrobe investment you ever make. Seamless and super-stretchy, Wolford’s Fatal dress can be folded and ruched to be worn in so many ways.

Shorten the length to wear it under floaty maxis, transform it into a pencil skirt, or wear it as a strapless base to balance an oversized blazer. Cut from breathable stretch-jersey, it’s no wonder Kim Kardashian was often spotted wearing this while pregnant.

Sometimes the clean lines of a strapless slip are best left to do the talking beneath something sheer. And if anyone can deliver elevated basics to underpin a capsule wardrobe, it’s The Park.

Despite its strapless cut, the figure-hugging silhouette stays securely in place, subtly sculpting the body to enhance your natural shape. It’s a clever addition to any wedding season wardrobe.

A real summer staple, If Only If’s Organic Cotton-Voile Slip is the breathable option that’ll keep you cool and comfortable at your next summer soirée.

Crafted from 100 percent cotton, the breezy neutral midi is the perfect length to seamlessly wear under longer dresses—or, as originally designed, to be worn under the brand’s popular nighties.

From Skims’s Smooth Layers lineup, this slip dress is made from super-soft modal-jersey and has a more relaxed fit than the shapewear options in this edit.

We love how it comes with adjustable straps and a built-in bra for additional (and versatile) support.

Not all slip dresses need to lean minimalist. Elevated with a delicate lace trim, Skims’s Slip Dress still keeps the signature fluid, body-skimming shape but elevates it with intricate lace to add a subtly romantic feel.

It is a piece that works very hard in your wardrobe, as it can move easily between lingerie and ready-to-wear, depending on how you style it.

Introduce Commando’s Half Slip Skirt into your wardrobe and it’ll become one of your hardest-working pieces. Slip it under maxi skirts or dresses for an extra layer of coverage, though it’s equally versatile worn on its own; consider pairing it with a white T-shirt and strappy sandals to add the perfect amount of contrast to your look without overdoing it.
