Does anyone know where I can buy a full length slip ( petticoat?) I need a size 24 … anti static thank you!

M&S? Evans? Yours?

M&S do a good range in white, black and flesh.

I bought a culottes slip to wear under my dresses. It comes down just past my knees, I'm only 5' 2". It's great as it does two jobs, works as both anti chafing pants and a slip. Bought mi e from Amazon, but M&S sell them.
Granted they're not full length, but my dresses are not sheer or see through.

PS, my husband laughs at them and calls them my Queen Victoria knickers.grin

Thank you for your suggestions! M/S only sell up to size 22 but I like the culottes idea….

Marks and Spencers, surely? That is where I bought the ones I have.

I bought such a one from M&S, in the spring

I've never considered a full-length slip. I mainly wear a slip to stop skirts riding up when I'm wearing tights & can see they have a use under sheer skirts.
But a knee-length slip should solve the "riding up " problem, & if people catch a glimpse of the outline of your calves, surely that's fine? I'd just wear a knee-length one.
I love full-length dresses though & haven't worn one for at least 30 years - Enjoy!

Thank you again … M/S only go to a 22 which is a little snug so prefer size 24. I got one on order now from David Napier as suggested .., £89 but it will be of good quality and will last!

I bought mine as I have a lovely pale linen dress which exposes much to much of me if I stand against the light .
