I could use one of those for a few of my more formal dresses. Very nice.

As someone who was a teen in the 50's, I remember the petticoats we wore back then. I do recall several petticoats that I had tore up my nylon stockings and scratched my legs. I had one that really stood out. It had a very stiff horse hair type netting. I could stand it up in a corner. When I went away to college the dorm closets were so small that we had to pile up the petticoats in a corner of the room. Jackie

This is wonderful. I love your careful attentention to detail. I would love to see how it works with a dress over it. I also remember the petticoats that we wore in the 50s. They certainly made you feel dressed up. We called them crinolins (sp?). I'm sure yours would be much more comfortable, although you would have needed several more layers of netting to make those felt skirts stand out.

Nice petticoat. I too, wore the crinolines. The more starch & the stiffer you made it, the better it looked under those full skirts. You brought back nice memories for a few of us, thanks, Kellie.

Thanks so much ladies!!!! I just love your stories - thanks for sharing your memories of wearing them! I looked at my wedding gown "slip" before making this retro one and decided not to use the super stiff tulle for this particular project. I had this pattern on hand and whipped it up. However, I do plan on doing a full-out-stiff-POUFFY one - after I buy myself a real vintage crinoline pattern!

Thank you for this helpful review. I am helping a friend work on a project that includes this pattern. I think using a fabric in the petticoat part of the skirt is a great idea.
