Soft and luxurious, there’s nothing quite like the feeling of wearing a flowing silk dress. But if you’re wondering what underwear to wear under a silk dress, you’re not alone. The fabric tends to fit like a glove, which means you need underwear that will be completely invisible. 


As for what to wear with a silk dress, we recommend two main categories—both of which happen to be our specialty, hint hint. The first is silk underwear, and the second is seamless underwear. Here’s a closer look at the benefits of both types (and yes, we have plus-size underwear in all styles!). 

Silk Underwear

If you’re wondering “is silk underwear good underneath silk clothing?” The answer is a resounding yes. And good news: We have the best silk underwear on the planet. 


Our Soft Silk Thong has gorgeous stretch lace finishes at the waist and leg openings, and because the lace lays flat against your skin, you never have to worry about VPL. Unlike a lot of other silk thong panties, it also has a substantial—not string-like, but not bulky—thong back, so you won’t have to do any strategic dancing on the dance floor to pick your wedgie. (Hey, we’ve all been there!) It also has a mid-rise waist, as well as a tear-off label for added comfort. 


Prefer your silk panties to be briefs? Our Soft Silk Briefs are the ultimate choice in silk seamless underwear while offering more coverage. They have side seams to better fit under your dresses (and around your curves), and because they’re made from 100% silk, they’re also naturally breathable and moisture-wicking. We love this option for those wondering what to wear under a satin dress.

Seamless Underwear


Another option to wear with silk dresses is our lightweight seamless underwear and plus-size seamless underwear. They feature body-hugging fits and a dreamy lightweight blend that feels like you’re wearing nothing at all. 


Our Better Briefs and Happy Seams Briefs are a perfect choice to wear with a silk dress if you like mid-rise briefs and no VPL, ever. They have thermowelded seams and laser-cut leg openings, which not only prevent wedgies but also ensure a perfect fit. Our Better Briefs also have a planet-friendly upgrade, as they are created with CiCLO® fibers, which are designed to behave more like natural fibers when they end up in the environment. 


If you’re wondering what underwear to wear with a slip dress in particular, we recommend our VIP Thong. This style has a barely there feel and removable tags, making it completely invisible under even the clingiest silk silhouettes—not to mention super-comfortable.
