I am sure you remember the scene in the movie Clueless where Cher’s wearing a slip dress for a date and her dad asks in utter dismay, “What the hell is that?” And she answers in an ‘obviously’ kinda tone, “A dress!” Her dad goes on shock-stricken, “Says who?” “Calvin Klein,” comes the casual answer! This iconic moment changed the way we look at a slip dress. Yet we still aren’t confident enough to slip the slip dress on in public.

Slip dresses are supposed to be very sexy. But not everyone is so ballsy to flaunt what they’ve got in front of others! Well, not me, at least. So for people like us the sensual level of the slip dress has to be toned down, a little! We say let’s transform it into a skirt and layer it with a t-shirt. You can also layer it with a sweater depending on the weather. Peek-a-boo is sexy but totally acceptable!
