Vintage Petticoats
A petticoat is a wide underskirt from the fifties, an undergarment to be worn under your vintage skirt or dress. The vintage petticoat accentuates your waist and masks wide hips or heavy upper legs. It creates an unmistakeable feminine silhouette, even if you don’t have an hourglass figure. It is a typical vintage garment from the fifties and sixties, marking the rise of rock ’n roll.
Rocking 50 Petticoats
Initially, the petticoats from the fifties were made of starched cotton. Later on, this rather warm and heavy fabric was replaced by nylon. This nylon originated from the USA and all ladies loved it. Maximum result was achieved with minimum weight. The petticoat is an underskirt which may be shown, thus available in several lengths, making any dress, especially swing dresses, look wide. You don’t even have to quickly turn around to make the petticoat visible.
Petticoat with vintage border
Usually, an ordinary underskirt is invisible. A visible white border is not done. A petticoat, however, may be seen. It has many frills. You can find them at Vintagechick.nl. Perhaps you would even like to wear it without skirt. I think Madonna would love it. This singer loves to perform in lovely underwear and combines corsets with petticoats, fishnet stockings and high heels. The result? Unmistakable vintage.
