so I’m breaking my rule and saying that this could be worn. This was filthy, absolutely terrible when I got it but I was able to soak the stains out, and now there are only a couple of small stains left and NO SMELL!

Normally when a part of an item is as destroyed as the silk net tulle at the front of this petticoat I advise removal and replacement, however this is a unique feature of this petticoat and something I have not seen on other petticoats and while the netting itself is filled with holes, when wearing it is not visibly distressed 


There are a few places that need to be mended, if you use invisible thread the mending will not be very obvious.

You could even turn this inside out and wear it that way.

The front tulle is basically destroyed, covered in holes.

Needs a pair of hook and slide closures

There’s an interesting tag that says homemade underwear with a stag on the left-hand side and writing that is not legible even utilizing a jewelers loop.

I’m guessing this tag came with the pattern and fabric for the person who first created it when they purchased the kit and after looking at Strawbridge & Clothier's quarterly this is from somewhere around 1883

These Victorian and Edwardian items are more than 100 years old and are being offered as pieces for display, or study.

Please Note- all items sold are finds sourced from estate sales and thrift stores in the Hollywood area of Southern California.

As they are previously owned items it is always a good plan to plan to have the items taken to your local green dry cleaner before wearing.

Some items may be wrinkled from storage.

I do my best to catalog any flaws I find in the description of the item.

I do not accept order cancellations for any reason other than I have not shipped the item in the time I promised

Your purchase helps me continue to fund my artistic work as a photographer in Hollywood California. It also helps me to feed my increasingly finicky cat who now only wants the most expensive cat food
