Slips - Vintage bloom

DALLAS, TX--(Marketwire - August 27, 2008) - According to a recent piece in the Wall Street Journal, slips are passé. However, comments from WSJ readers indicate the slip is making a comeback and, as many top designers are featuring this sensual women's lingerie in their new lines, WSJ readers might be right. HerRoom.com offers slips in several styles and may have just what women are looking for.

Although worn as undergarments for centuries, largely to protect clothing and provide additional warmth, women wearing slips became a sensation when Marilyn Monroe wore a silky, lace-trimmed number in the 1953 movie "Niagara." The stunning images of Elizabeth Taylor in "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" a few years later established the allure of women in slips as something most men still find irresistible.

As decades passed and the culture of femininity changed in American society, slips fell off the radar -- much to the regret of millions of women, and men. However, tastes are changing and as the new generation discovers the practicality and allure of the slip, top designers like Janet Reger, La Perla and Natori are featuring them in their new lines.

Women looking for slips, or men who would like to give their favorite woman a gift, can find them at HerRoom.com.

For the romantic, the Farr West Vintage Bloom from Lindsey Roscoe has all the allure of a silk and lace classic. The beautiful v-neck accommodates all necklines and a center back slit allows for easy movement.

For something a little more streamlined, Josie Natori's Iris Chemise is beautiful, sexy and chic. Intricate lace trim along the neckline and bottom hem finish this sleek favorite. The Iris Chemise can also be worn as sleepwear and, either way, will make you feel and look gorgeous.

A half-slip favorite is Mary Green's Silk Knit. Stretchy, body hugging and flirty, your skirt will fall prettily and smoothly and, when you cross your legs, may show a glimpse of the deep lace panel at the hem.

Available with matching camisoles or built-in bras, made with materials that flow or hug the body for all-over slimming, strapless styles perfect for short or full-length gowns, worn as inner or outerwear, HerRoom has the right slip for every occasion.
