Slips??...and Shoes.

HI gals!

I keep hearing about a slip that i'm supposed to wear under my dress. WHY??? what is the purpose of this? is it just an old-school tradition of something? Is it's necessary? If so is it a special type of wedding slip or just a regular slip that i can get at any store. Full lenght, half length...i'm so confused.
Also- I'm looking for Cinderella 'glass' slippers to wear. i've checked some stores on line who want $50 for these plastic (glass)-slippers. Does anyone know where i might be able to get them cheaper???
Thanks so much.

Dunno about the slip....i think you only need it if its a poofy dress to help make it poofier? i found these for shoes:

Re: Slips??...and Shoes.

the slip is to create the shape of the dress. If u have a tight fitted gown then i dont think u wear one.... but anything that 'poofs' needs the slip underneath. They have all different types...a-line, small ball gown, med. ball gown, full ballgown, hoop skirt, etc. Talk to ur bridal shop about it...i'm sure they can help u. a lot of bridal shops have in-stock samples to try on so you can decide which slip compliments the dress best..
