Petticoat Day




Today it was a wonderful day to get out petticoats, wash them

and hang them out in the beautiful sunshine to dry ~

There is something so gorgeous about seeing the layers and layers

of ruffles hanging in the sun ~

I want to live in the time when all girls wore petticoats

because they are so sweet and feminine ~

I could definitely be a petticoat kind of girl !







You can find the one Kristin is wearing here ~

I love your petticoat! My daughters use to wear them when they were little girls under their dresses...we use to call them crinolines. They loved them!! They would swirl and twirl around the house and they loved the sound it would make under their dresses! Fun memories! :D

I used to be a petticoat girl. We were not dressed unless we had on at least four petticoats. Boy, am I dating myself. But the 50's were the best time to grow up. I have so many memories of poodle skirts, petticoats, rolled up jean, and bobbi socks. That was a special time, it had to be they won't let it die. And the music was the greatest!!!!
Hugs, Pat

I used to wear them as a little girl, and I can still remember how they felt. And you just felt so girlie! Love them.

Lori, when I was a little girl, my mother made me wear petticoats under short dresses (early 60's)...I swear I can still remember how scrachy they were!
Yours, are lovely and don't scratch a bit!
