✨ Beneath the flounces, modesty. Within the folds, the art of evasion.
Beneath the skirts, it is the invisible ally of both prudent ladies and precious fabrics.
This Victorian petticoat slips over the crinoline (up to 3.20 m in circumference) and protects the gown from the friction of the steel hoops.
And should a mischievous breeze attempt to lift the skirt? It ensures that nothing indiscreet disturbs propriety…
