Abstract

A slip system includes a skirt or a slip with an adjustable length. The skirt may be a standalone skirt or part of a dress. The slip may be a full slip or a half slip. In addition to the skirt or slip, the slip system includes one or more removable, replaceable sections. Each removable, replaceable section may add to the length of a main body of the skirt or slip. Each removable, replaceable section may impart the skirt or slip with a desired appearance by providing variety in a design and/or style of the skirt or slip.
