Designed specifically for midi and maxi dresses, this Canadian brand fills a market gap with beautiful, static-resistant half-slips, though sizing may require going up a size if between sizes.

Deep Research
How the nylon blend feels and breathes
- The nylon fibers' quick-drying nature means this slip can be hand-washed and air-dried in a few hours, making it a travel-friendly piece that you can rinse and wear again without waiting for a full laundry cycle.
- The mesh edging at the hem introduces an open-weave ventilation zone right where the slip meets the legs, allowing airflow to circulate and preventing that sticky, trapped-heat sensation common with solid-trim slips.
- A thin covered elastic waistband keeps the slip in place without the compressive squeeze of shapewear bands, so the midsection can breathe — reducing sweat spots and irritation during long wear.
Pairing the 29-inch length with dresses
- Following the dressmaker's guideline that a half-slip should end 2–3 inches above the outer hem to prevent peeking when seated or striding, this slip's 29–29.5-inch measurement centers its compatibility on skirts and dresses whose waist-to-hem drop is at least 31.5–32.5 inches, making it a go-to for midi and maxi lengths that fall around the calf or lower.
- Montelle classifies this as a 'Maxi Half Slip,' with the 29.5-inch length on a size Medium landing just above the ankle to deliver full-length static-resistant coverage that stays hidden under floor-skimming and ankle-grazing skirts and dresses.

Q&A
3 answered- Does this slip run true to size or should I size up for a comfortable fit?
- Generally true to size, but one reviewer found the Round Neck Mid-Thigh slip too small, so if you're between sizes, consider sizing up for a comfortable fit. The V-Neck Full Length slip was noted as 'True to size' by reviewers.
- Is the fabric opaque enough to prevent show-through under a white or thin dress?
- The fabric is likely opaque enough for most dresses, as other Montelle slips are made from a smooth material that prevents show-through, but this slip's opacity is not explicitly stated. One reviewer of the V-Neck slip noted the material is smooth so clothes don't stick, and the Round Neck slip was described as 'very light' yet still opaque enough to not require a bra.
- Can this slip be machine washed or does it require hand washing?
- Yes, this slip can be machine washed. Similar Montelle slips recommend hand washing or machine washing in a mesh bag on gentle cycle, then hanging to dry. We recommend following those instructions for this slip as well.
