History

Slip dresses first became widely worn in the

underwear-as-outerwear trend, when they were made from layered chiffon, polyester satins and charmeuse, and often trimmed with lace.[5] The dresses typified the sartorial minimalism of the 1990s.[6] The slip dress became associated with the decade's supermodels, notably Kate Moss, who garnered attention with a sheer version in 1993.[7] Courtney Love's fondness for the style granted slip dresses grunge credibility.[8]

The style enjoyed renewed popularity starting in the late 2010s and continuing into the 2020s as part of a broader revival of 1990s fashion trends.

Yves Saint Laurent and Burberry featured the garment.[8] Since then, slip dresses have been a red carpet staple.[11] The Versace spring 2021 ready-to-wear collection included slip dresses with a beachy theme.[12]
