Sybil Connolly recalled how a red flannel petticoat, worn by a Connemara woman, inspired her first international fashion collection which took place in New York in 1953. [22] [23] She had travelled to Connemara for inspiration, where she saw a woman wearing a traditional red flannel petticoat. She bought a bolt of the same fabric from the local shop and made it into a quilted evening skirt, which was a huge success at the fashion show. [23] One of these skirts is part of the collection at The Hunt Museum. As usual, I made the petticoat as historically correct as possible so all seams of the petticoat are flat-felled; even the cord gaterhed ruffles are attached with flat-felled seams. In Japan, similar to a petticoat, a nagajuban (commonly referred to simply as a juban; a hadajuban is sometimes worn underneath a nagajuban) are worn under the kimono as a form of underwear similar in function to the petticoat. The juban resembles a shorter kimono, typically without two half-size front panels (the okumi) and with sleeves only marginally sewn up along the wrist-end. Juban are commonly made of white silk, though historically were typically made of red silk; as the collar of the juban shows underneath the kimono and is worn against the skin, a half-collar (a han'eri) is often sewn to the collar as a protector, and also for decoration. The hadajuban is sometimes worn underneath the juban, and resembles a tube-sleeved kimono-shaped top, without a collar, and an accompanying skirt slip. Rayon taffeta is a slippery, thin and even sheer fabric. Today it is usually used as natural but cheap lining fabric for blazers and skirts. My petticoat has two straight ruffles at the hem – ruffles were either cut on the bias or straight grain in the Edwardian era. The top ruffle of my 1900s faux silk petticoat is 345cm (135“) long and the bottom ruffle (hem circumference) is 675cm (265“) long.Apart from the cording, I decorated the petticoat with 30 meters faux silk ruchings. Ruchings were a popular choice in the Edwardian era to decorate and stiffen the wide petticoat hems. Higgins, Padhraig (2010).

I found some sage-blue silk for one petticoat, to match the yellow/blue stripe I bought several weeks ago, but the silk is not the right weave for a quilted petticoat. Those I have seen in various collections look to be made of satin, or something on the fairly soft-n-shiny side, so that is what I will be looking for next, in Hansa yellow. (They were also made of cotton, but I would rather pair silk/silk for this particular ensemble) To the lower edge of the flounce is sewed a narrow, bias ruffle that holds the skirt out well from the figure and forms a dainty finish.’ ( The Delineator, 1896)

It is of real importance that the petticoats worn with these skirts should be perfectly cut and fitted, and when finished they should be one-half inch shorter than the skirt.’ ( San Francisco Call, 1908)

I am thinking of quilting a petticoat. My mom thinks that’s insane, but it really seems doable, even for an inpatient girl like me.
