LOVELY ANTIQUE EDWARDIAN COTTON CROCHETED PETTICOAT Straight from a close friend\'s family estate comes some of the nicest grouping of vintage clothing and fabrics I\'ve seen in a while. All items are from a smoke-free home and have been laundered and pressed. Most came from her husband\'s parents, who were setting up housekeeping in the mid 1940s. This lovely petticoat is an incredibly soft white brushed cotton. It measures approximately 41\" long and has about a 24\" waist (wow...JUST my size....yeah, when I was BORN!!) I would date it back to the late Victorian or Edwardian era of the early 1900s, and the attention to detail is exquisite. The petticoat has a tiny waist that could actually be adjusted, in my opinion to make room for a larger size. In fact, since there is no botton or closure, I think that a tie is supposed to be added to make it larger. The skirt flares out beautifully and the bottom is quite nice to say the least. It has several layers of horizontal pleating, then is followed by two different sections of crocheted lace. I am not sure, but I think it\'s all hand made. There is a second layer at the bottom which makes for a ruffle which peers out from the top section, giving it volume. This could be worn underneath a dress or skirt or worn by itself. The piece is free of soiling but there is some delicate places at the lace which has some rust stains near the hem. These places have weakened the material, though with a very little TLC, I believe it could be lightly mended and worn with the finest of outfits! It\'s rare that I find such a pristine piece of vintage clothing, so don\'t pass up this magnificent!
