Victorian Petticoat
Underskirt worn to give volume to the outer skirt. Essential under Victorian and Edwardian skirts and 1950s full skirts, with net crinolines creating the iconic mid-century silhouette.
How to Identify an Authentic Victorian Petticoat
Victorian: white cotton or linen with tucks and lace trim
1950s nylon net: stiff layers sewn onto a cotton waistband
Check for original label: Crinoline brand names command small premium
Condition: net can yellow; cotton underskirts may have laundering stains
