half slip
Skirt beneath skirts
A half slip is a woman's undergarment worn from the waist down, essentially a skirt-shaped slip.
It provides a smooth layer under skirts or dresses to prevent clinging or show-through: She wore a half slip under the thin summer dress.
Distinguished from a full slip, which includes a bodice.
