And what ever happened to the idea of wearing a slip, or even pettipants (a slip with legs) to solve this problem?

Wearing dresses made of natural wovens is essential (Silk, though natural, breathes poorly so isn't the best option for the heat) Layering with pettipants and a slip both in cotton helps ensure comfort; long, flowing skirts are the best; if, in the worst of the heat one chooses to forego pantihose, if one's skirt or dress is ankle length or just a few inches higher, it won't look porly; worn with practical yet nice sandals, comfort and neatness are both assured.
