What is the purpose of wearing a slip under a skirt or dress that is impossible to see through?

I adjusting the zipper of my (already lined) business suit type skirt in the ladies room at the office. The top of my pantyhose had gotten caught in the zipper. A coworker noticed that I wasn’t wearing a slip under it and told me that it was “improper” for a woman not to wear a slip.

All of the skirts I wear are already lined, are made of thick fabric or are really loose and billowy so its impossible to see any trace of my underwear. I’ve always found slips unnecessary, plus the feel of the fabrics they’re usually made of all over my legs REALLY creeps me out for some reason.
She would be really shocked to find out that I hardly ever wear a bra! I’m a size zero and my breasts are almost non-existent. I wear a pair of those little silicone breast cover things and you can’t tell the difference. Plus, I’m a big fan of the cami under a sweater or button up look. The elastic in the cami is more than enough to support what I have! I got into the habit of not wearing one after having surgery to repair a bone defect in my chest. The incision was right on the line of where a bra band usually sits. The doctor told me not to wear one while I was healing because the band could dig into the stitches!
