Although the slip is quite pretty, allowing a slip to show through on a professional skirt presents a very sloppy look. It is one thing for a long, mid-length, country/casual style skirt, but not with this skirt.

I agree with the previous comment. I would not let a slip show under any skirt, let alone one like this. I do like the idea of lengthening a slip though, as I have some that are too short for the skirts I wear.
