UF920 Quilted Petticoat
c.1845
25" waist (we can make larger)
Massachusetts
$2,300
This mint condition quilted petticoat can today be worn as a stunning
skirt! Before any kind of comfortable home heating, we needed to keep
warm and that took some effort. Affluent women would create such a
petticoat as a work of art, even though no one should see it! We indeed
wore many layers of clothing inside our homes as well as outside, in
order to keep warm in the cold weather.
The amazing fabric from the 1840's is the fabric we see. Under the layer
of this fabric and the cotton batting is a backing of dark brown silk.
From the top of the waistband to the bottom of the petticoat the
measurement is 36-1/2". There is a 1-1/2" silk velvet edge to protect
the petticoat from the dirt, etc that maybe on the ground, from wear.
Quilting, in a rope pattern, covers over 3/4 of this petticoat. This
appears to be mint condition and can now become a fabulous skirt..that
no other person will have!
I am happy to send, with free shipping, for your approval.
