[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote][quote][quote][quote]I am a professional 30-something woman. I took the elevator down with my neighbor this morning and when we left the building she walked in front of me. As the sun hit, I could see that she was wearing red panties under a beige dress and I could see the outline of her body when the light hit her. I wasn't checking her out, she was in my line of sight as I left for work. I then saw two more women with see through dresses on the way to work. It's easy to notice when you're outside and someone is walking in front of you with their ass hanging out. I always argue with myself whether or not I should mention it because the only explanation I have is that their mothers never told them how to dress properly or they got dressed in the dark. I would be mortified walking around like that, but it's so sensitive a topic that I never say anything and then feel bad that I let that woman embarrass herself like that.[/quote]

This sounds like a science fiction alternate universe. I have never seen multiple women walking around in see-through dresses. Maybe I am just unobservant? I've never seen this[/quote].

1+. No joke. I am a 40-yr old lawyer with (too) many longtime lawyer friends. None of us wear slips to my knowledge. Never have I experienced these see-through dresses (much less seen the color of someone's underwear in a dress in professional setting!) And god knows how many years I've spent in offices. PPs are hitting the [mood-altering substance of choice] too hard.![/quote]

Your friends probably wear slips or lined dresses. They probably have noticed that you don't wear slips but think that you don't care. There is no law saying that you have to wear slips.[/quote]

Nope.  I had two law school friends as roommates my first three year out (gotta pay back those loans).  For better or (probably) worse, I know what they wear.  And it ain't slips.  Ever.  No one did.  Somehow we made partner (or the equivalent) in the meantime despite (allegedly) our "asses hanging out."[/quote]

Another semi-successful lawyer in her 40s, partner in biglaw.  I don't wear slips. I don't know anyone who wears slips. I am in our office gym every day where I see lots of half undressed partners, and I have never seen anyone wearing a slip.

Of course, most of our clothes are lined. It's really just those cheaper sun dresses that aren't lined. And the ocassional poly clingy dress. But not really what partners are wearing.  But long of the short of it: No one wears slips in DC except the two people on this forum. [/quote]
