I think I love these because they came at a time when fashion was evolving. Particularly the late 60s ones seem to struggle to be relevant at a time when the previously mandatory slip was about to become uncool and outmoded. They are also fun, funny and undisclosed...a secret party!
I never go looking for these half slips, they just sort of fall in my path, like lucky pennies.

My odd collection
The first time I laid eyes on a crazily-bright half slip my heart did a somersault!
Real beauty
Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God's handwriting.

People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.
-Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
Everything has its beauty, but not everyone sees it.
-Confucius
