Scope note
Underwear usually made the length of the garment under which it is to be worn, thereby taking the place of a lining. Usually applied to full slips with a bodice and shoulder straps made in dress length. Prefer "half slips" for skirtlike underwear extending from the waist to near the hemline of the garment with which it is worn.
