full slip worn under women's kimono
A one-piece undergarment that combines the functions of a hadajuban (skin layer) and susoyoke (lower wrap), worn beneath a kimono to keep the outer garment clean and smooth.

Before putting on a kimono, you wear a kimono slip.
This kimono slip feels good against the skin and is comfortable even in summer.
A nagajuban is a full-length under-kimono with a collar, worn between the hadajuban and the outer kimono; a 着物スリップ is a simpler, modern alternative that serves a similar smoothing function.
Compound of 着物 (kimono) and スリップ (slip, from English). A modern garment term.
