A wonderful example of an Edwardian petticoat! This charming piece is crafted from starched, lightweight cotton and features a delightful 10-inch frill of intricate floral broderie anglaise at the hem. It retains many of its original details, including four rows of hand-stitching on the waistband, the original darts and the owner’s initials embroidered in red inside the waist opening.
It also features a handmade buttonhole and its original linen-covered metal button. The skirt is double-lined at the hem, giving it a lovely weight and fullness. Like most petticoats of the era, there is a deep opening at the back that will show, however, this could be altered to close the opening if preferred.
Condition: Excellent. A few very small storage stains - a rust stain at the front by the right mid thigh. A scattering of teeny tiny ones at the far left thigh at the front. Some pin head size at the back hem.
Shown pinned to fit on an approx UK size 6 mannequin (B:34"/W:25"/H:34”)

Vintage clothing is often homemade and/or follows a very different size guide to modern-day clothing. Please ensure you check the measurements carefully on the product description before making your order. We use a rough sizing guide based on waist sizing:
XS | Waist 22"- 25"
S | Waist 26"- 27"
M | Waist 28"- 30"
L | Waist 31"- 32"
XL | Waist 33"- plus
Please do not take the size guide as gospel as the size stated here may not be the size you would normally buy. It is very important to know your bust, waist and hip sizing ahead of purchase.
