Slipsdelar

Slipsdelar is a Swedish term used in fashion, sewing, and garment pattern contexts. It refers to the individual parts or pattern pieces that make up a slip, typically a women's undergarment or slip dress. The exact meaning varies with design, but slipsdelar generally denotes the main components that are cut from fabric and then sewn together, such as the front panel, back panel, and any side panels or seams, the waist area, and the shoulder straps. Edge finishes like hems, lace trims, or bias binding are also considered slipsdelar, as are any linings, hidden panels, or gussets that appear in a given design. Different styles may incorporate additional elements such as built-in cups, slits, or decorative overlays, but the core concept remains the same: slipsdelar are the separable parts used to construct the garment.

Origin and usage of the term are primarily within Swedish-language sewing guides, pattern books, and garment catalogs. In historical fashion contexts, slips were common undergarments and are referenced in patterns and costuming literature, whereas contemporary usage is mainly found in sewing instructions and pattern-making discussions.
