Vintage Petticoat or Skirt with
Crocheted Lace Trim c1890-1910


Very pretty antique petticoat made of fine cotton muslin. Tiny cartridge pleating is meticulously hand-sewn at waist. Three wide bands of pin tucking around the bottom third of skirt, with 6 horizontal tucks to each band. Hand crocheted lace trim border the hem.  The lace features Van Dyck points edging, a style popular during the Jane Austen period and remaining popular throughout the 19th century. A row of diamond shapes borders the Van Dyck points at the top, and above the diamonds, delicate crochet borders the entire circumference. This crocheted lace trim is 3" wide at its widest points. Central back opening ~ no evidence of the petticoat ever having had a sewn-on closure. It looks to have been a pinned piece. Waist 18 1/2". Length from bottom of the 5 1/2" wide waistband to the crocheted hem bottom is 32". Perfect for re-enactments, theater & stage wardrobe use, period costume parties, etc. Wear it on a warm summer evening with a pretty little camisole top and flowers in your hair, for a fetchingly romantic look.
