Welcome

CarrieRae is the owner and creator of Undersummers by CarrieRae. She created the Shortlette Slipshort out of her own need for comfortable rash protection under skirts and dresses (especially in the hot and humid Houston summers). The Shortlette was created as the result of being tired of cutting off pantyhose, wearing bulky bike shorts, and yoga pants under dresses and skirts. Even more, CarrieRae despised ill-fitting shape wear. She desperately wanted a cute and comfortable solution to wear under dresses and skirts that wasn’t a “bloomer or granny panty”. This lead to the creation of the Undersummers Shortlette Slip-short, made to wear "Under Summer" dresses and skirts (and even shorts and pants!).
Undersummers Shortlettes are made for all-year-round comfort.  They are cool in the summer, and warm in the winter.  Perfect to wear under casual and formal dresses, holiday attire, pants, and the best is just lounging around!
 
CarrieRae LLC was established in 2011 in Houston, TX.  Undersummers by CarrieRae products are manufactured in Houston, TX and Los Angeles, CA. Their focus is amazing products that women want to wear.   The photo shoots are primarily with CarrieRae and are minimally Photo-shopped.

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to create cute, anti-chafing clothes to help women love wearing dresses and, more importantly, their bodies. Dresses are feminine, pretty, and a mood booster, yet so many women avoid wearing dresses altogether because the chafing is too uncomfortable. We don't want you to avoid your desired look. We want you to feel confident! That’s why we offer our fabulous Shortlettes®️ to make wearing dresses possible.

INSPIRATION

Undersummers Shortlettes were created for CarrieRae's personal need for comfortable thigh protection. In 2011, while she was working as a teacher, CarrieRae’s beautiful thick thighs rubbed and she needed a comfortable solution. Pants are blazing hot in the Houston spring and summer months, cut-off nylons roll up on you, and shorts are not always acceptable to wear to work, so she was left with capris and dresses. Her thighs did not support wearing dresses; thigh chafing was too uncomfortable. She needed an anti-chafing underwear solution that would support her desire to wear dresses. That’s when the idea was born and her Undersummers brand was made. CarrieRae created the solution to her problem: The Original Lace Shortlette®️, something to wear that was a single layer, the legs stayed put and was comfy and pretty.
