How do I choose a satin slip?
Satin is a weave, not a fibre. The fall of the slip depends on the cut and the weight.
Measure first, then choose the shape. Between sizes, take the larger.
Match the piece to the outfit, the light and how long you will wear it.
Plain packaging, tracked delivery and 14-day returns with the seal intact.
A satin slip can be sleepwear, a layering piece or an evening slip. Lace Index has 326 slip and sleepwear styles. Choose the length first, then the strap and the amount of shine you want.
01
Start with the shape
A bias-cut slip skims the body; a straight-cut slip fits closer. A midi length is easier for layering, while a short chemise is lighter for sleep. Check the length against a dress you already own.
02
Fit and feel
Satin shows creases and can cling with static. Wash cool, do not wring, and hang or dry flat. If you want a softer, more matte finish, compare it with the mesh and lace slips in the same room.
03
Before you order
Check the hip measurement and the length, not just the dress size. The product page lists the exact sizes held. Keep the hygiene seal intact until you have tried it; returns are accepted within 14 days when unworn.

Questions
Quick answers.
How do I choose a satin slip?
Is satin the same as silk?+
No. Satin is a weave; it can be made from polyester or silk. The fibre decides the softness and care.
How should a satin slip fit?+
It should skim, not pull. Check the hip and length, and size up if the waist digs in.
Can I wear a satin slip outside?+
Yes, with a jacket or knit over it. Choose a finished hem and enough coverage for the setting.
How do I stop static?+
Wash without fabric softener, dry naturally, and use a light anti-static spray on the inside.
