Emperor59:
I think it's out of fashion. That's why it's not being worn by women anymore.

Wrong. Na you no wan buy am. E full market die

Grgton:
This is old fashioned in my opinion

Not old fashioned. Its actually coming back to fashion

level77:

It was called Shimi but I believe it’s a bd prononciation of the word chemise (underwear for women in the days when women dress decently with underwear gowns and skirts)

No.

It's called a Halfslip.

Chemise is the shorter full slip that stops at the thighs. The longer one that reaches the knees are called Full Slips. There are others, Baby dolls, Teddy, Camisoles, Petticoats, Pettipants.

Halfslips shouldn't be confused with Petticoats as the latter are fuller and come in ruffles.

Wikipedia will help a lot...

Mummyfour:
wow! We need to open a WhatsApp group

Help me tell her to suggest a name and icon for the WhatsApp group

Abeg join me for the group o ��

Cooleasy:

You are a correct lady jare. I like the short, white ones. Is it still easy to find in markets?

Very easy. Even men can wear it if you choose as it's not really gender centric.

Mummyfour:
proudly old school anyday. Old school is still saner than new school to me o.
Our mothers were old school and there was some sanity in the world then

There are some new school things I can't tolerate o, like nudity and exposing g -strings, it's a turn off

Halfslips ain't old school. I wonder why people say this is old school. Its am everyday thing people just ignore for no sensible reason

Emdebby2:
I still have it and I wear it.

You sabi

Mummyfour:
yes na. They are still in the market. Those short ones are really nice. I like them too

The best are the thrift (okrika) ones. They last longer and are stronger, better than the so called "new ones" especially the satin that usually have runs in them when you wear them even in a short time

Grgton:
you know better

And bum shorts is underwear? Na wa o �

jojothaiv:

That thing too scatter our old men head that time.

E still dey scatter my head till next millennia and I no be old man

ycat:
Yoruba - Shimi
English - Half slip

The full slip of this should be lighter and better than the cotton fabric sewn under lace..

You too sabi. Nice one. I actually prefer this nylon than cotton.

IamAsiri:


You are telling me what I know? I have worn "shimi" before and I am still rocking my underskirts .

By the way, you can google "chemise". A man arguing with a woman on woman matter.

This isn't a Chemise. Its a Halfslip. Chemises are like Full Slips.

FavouredNK:


Plus some dirty women will wear it without pants for many days/weeks without washing, when they sit close to you, you will nearly vomit out your intestines from the rotten castor seed oozing out from them. Mtcheeew

Haven't you heard of people wearing dirty clothes that stink? Does that rule out clothes too?

People are dirty. Clothes are clothes

I said it is not "shimi", that it is underskirt. Didn't even know it's called half-slip.

Under skirt

Una want to use mention finish me on top shimi matter o

Infact instead of 3 colours I go buy 4. I don vex.
Black, red, blue, and brown

make it 5 jorr.

I think it was popular them because tight was not reigning, Tight has taken over and I think it fair enough. it doesn't do better than skirt.
Nice though, you're funny.

Mummyfour:
I meant to say micro mini.

They are those very short above the knee skirts or dresses that are also known as cross no gutter.

They are so short that you can't pick up anything from the ground with exposing some "you know"

.... nawaoooo.. ..those type of skirts causes confusion and accidents on the road �

U talk of shimi, who will talk of brasserie?

ufotunang:

Is tight not better inside buba and long skirt. I feel tight should replace it.

I no dey lie o.
Like seriously I have 3.
1 short and 2 long.
I just feel very comfortable with it.
And if I use only tights under long clothes I don't feel well covered. Guess it is a thing of the mind. But I am so used to it

And thanks for asking the 4 Angels are doing real good .
I appreciate.
Trust you and yours are doing well too?

Waooo! 3, that means you truly love them, Nice.
probably a mind think as you said, that means you use it instead of tight? Because wearing both will mean too many undies and may block air.

I like the choice of word "real good", which means someone is doing a 'real good' job taking care of them. God bless you jare.
yeah, thanks for asking.
