This cute green summer dress was banished to the back of my closet for a few years. It was a 40th birthday gift to myself and even though I love the dress, I never truly felt comfortable (or cute) in it.
This post was originally a sponsored post and as part of the original campaign, I was given an Original Skimmies®. However, I still wear and love Skimmies. All links in this post are now from Amazon.
The dress can be worn in all occasions, from dressy to casual. It’s made of cotton and spandex which makes it very clingy, and therefore displays visible panty lines for all the world to see. And that caused me all sorts of stress.
The two options that I knew of were to go au naturelle or wear a thong. Neither option thrilled me and both were completely off the table—ewww!
I was even thinking of getting rid of the dress. What a shame that would be, because it really is cute. But then the dress (and I) were #SavedBySkimmies!
Skimmies??? I’m so glad you asked!
Jockey Women’s Skimmies Slipshort is a super lightweight slipshort that covers your bum, keeps panty lines to a minimum and offers anti-static defense for flowy dresses and skirts. It offers a smooth, polished look under fitted-to-flowing skirts and dresses and is available in assorted colors and in short and regular lengths. It’s made with a blend of nylon, spandex, and cotton, and there is a ‘cooling’ option available.
As you can see below, my panty lines problem is completely solved. I have fallen back in love with my cute green dress. In fact, I loved the Skimmies that I received so much, I have continued to buy and wear them with my skirts and dresses.
Something happens when you become comfortable in your clothing–you become CONFIDENT in your clothing! Now, I’m pretty sure I won’t be doing cartwheels in my cute dresses or skirts, but with my Jockey Skimmies, I totally could!
Interesting product! I’d love to try it with a few of my skirts!
I would like to be #SavedBySkimmies by wearing tight fitting dresses

Oh my gosh, what a difference skimmies made to your dress! I want to wear them under my knit dresses and pants to smooth things out.

I would like to be #SavedBySkimmies for the days I choose to wear a dress instead of shorts when I am spending the day with my kids.

These are a great idea. They would definitely make me more likely to dress up and still play with my kids!

The Skimmies totally made a difference in that dress! I am a high school teacher, and this would be a great option for me, as I sometimes feel inappropriate with other kinds of underwear in some of my dresses.
I’d like to be Saved By Skimmies this summer when my hubby and I go out on date nights. The Jockey Skimmies Short Length Wicking Slipshort should keep sweat from bothering me so much on hot nights.

I have two weddings this summer and they’d be perfect for my dress!!
It would save me for when I dresses to hug the curves and not show panty lines.

I’m going to BlogHer soon, so I’ll definitely need some Skimmies. Good thing I already own several pairs. I get mine at Macy’s.

Having 2 yr old, wearing dresses/skirts are impossible if you care about decency in public, so this would save me big time!

I would wear this with a skirt or a dress so my butt doesn’t show in the wind!
These would be great for the maxi dresses I love to wear!
