These leggings are SO. COMFORTABLE. They are slightly thicker knit than tights (the package said 'sweater knit'), and have a thick band at the waist instead of a thing elastic. This means I can actually wear them without looking like Sal's dreaded segmented worm. Even under this rather form-fitting sweater dress, they look good.
After wearing the dress/tunic for a few hours, I realized that I probably need to order a full-slip for future wearings. Since the dress is sweater-ish, it would rub against the knit leggings on my bum and start riding up a bit. After a while, my entire bum would be showing and the dress would rucked up around my waist in the back. Not an attractive look! I kept having to check to make sure the dress wasn't working its way upward over my bum.
I also had a similar 'walking dress' problem with this red shirtdress when I wore tights:

- red shirtdress: H&M
- black long sleeved tee: Old Navy (remixed)
- striped tights: Kohls? (remixed)
- boots: Aerosoles (remixed)
I would be walking and the dress would slowly crawl upwards so it was all bunched up between my thighs. Nice!
Anyways, I think wearing a slip underneath would solve the 'creeping dress' problem. Plus I have a couple of sheer dresses that would benefit from being worn with a full slip- they would lay better and be less see-through.
I ended up ordering these short (18") full slips from Kohls, since they were having a pretty good sale and free shipping**. I got one in black and one in nude to try out. I know 18" is short, but I figured most of my dresses are on the shorter side so hopefully it works out. I'll just return them to the store if not.
So am I crazy to try wearing a full-slip? I remember my mom wearing slips when I was growing up, but it seems that no one wears them now!
**if you're looking to buy, use these coupon codes to get a better deal: "extra20" gets you 20% off- better than the 15% they are advertising on the Kohls homepage, and good thru Jan. 19. Also, "nocharge" will give you free shipping with no minimum order (not sure how long it's good for).
