^ Such a cute way of wearing your slip as a dress. Loves!
You are too cute
LOVE IT!By the way, I collect vintage silk slips (the exceptionally beautiful ones anyway). I like to think I would wear them to bed but I never do.

Shockingly, I don't own any, because I generally like the idea of embracing 'dead' trends, and old-fashioned attention to detail. 
But I would probably buy slips with only one skirt of mine in mind (at one time), and acquire an unnecessary collection. I just know it, so I don't go there.

i never really saw slips as an undergarment since i grew up seeing it as another medium for layering or for sleeping in. though i still know women who wear half slips when they wear clingy skirts so it doesnt keep riding up.

Vintage Slips - 15 pages of Full & Half Slips These are vintage slips and they're all pretty budget-friendly, with a massive variety. (In fact, the entire site is great, although nothing is really designer. A lot of clothes without labels that were probably hand/homemade... really nicely.)

I don't wear slips. My mother wears half slips I never needed them but after seeing some pictures in this thread I may re-consider. 
It's actually pretty sad to see slips go. I've known a few femmes who have worn slips. I don't have any problem with slips and/or petticoats. They can be lovely to wear. These are changing times, though... we can't all live in the past (even '80s lovers hate to admit). Still sad to see this being a dead trend. But who's to say they somehow they resurge again in coming years or maybe decades?

I love wearing slips and finding cute printed and colored slips to wear under a sheer shirt or dress. Sometimes slips can give something that extra pop that's needed to take an outfit to another level.

one of the rare times i've actually used a slip as originally intended...
Oh..Jessie! Stop flashing us your undergarments! 
Seriously though, is it just me who feels it's beautiful for a nicely cut bra to show slightly through a blouse, but quite another for panties to show through a transluscent skirt??
Am I old-fashioned?
I often wear chiffon skirts...with half-slips or leggings underneath. Never full slips, except a mauve silk one to bed.

I've never worn a slip under a skirt.
I remember trying on my mum's half slip, when I was a small child, which she never wore as she lived in jeans and trousers, most of the time and had absolutely fantastic, long, slim, legs; so had no real need of one, even when she did, occasionally, wear one of her lightweight, cotton, Laura Ashley skirts.
I don't like wearing see-through clothing (too flimsy), or long skirts in general (too constricting) - like my mum, I prefer trousers/leggings (on the rare occasion I have worn a skirt, in the last couple of years, I've worn a mini with opaque tights), so have no real need for a slip, either.
I did buy a plain black satin slip dress, back in the mid '90s, but when I tried it on at home, my mother looked absolutely horrified and said I looked like I was wearing underwear (which was the whole idea, of course, but nevertheless, I was very young and impressionable and trusted my mum's judgment, so it put me off!), so I never wore it (much to my BF's disappointment!).

i wear slips as intended ie only under dresses that are translucent. i do find it hard to find nice slips nowadays so i prefer to look for them in vintage shops. to me a slip isn't a trend, it's just a piece of clothing that can be used as is or worn in a more modern context, on the outside.
