Petticoat ---- yes or no?

[RTKangaMummy]

If you wear a flimsy/see thru skirt or dress do you ever wear a petticoat?

Sorting out some boxes since our house move and found some petticoats, that are probably classed as vintage now

I don't wear skirts of dresses anymore so no need of petticoat

Anyway, do people still wear them?

Should we give them to charity shop or to be recycled?

I wear 'cool' slips from M&S under most dresses/skirts if they're not lined - makes clothes hang better I think. If you're not going to use, definitely pass on to charity shop.

No! Seems positively Victorian to me!

I never even wore one as a child, and I am 46.

Yes, of course. Apart from the 'see through' aspect, it stops the skirt clinging to your legs if you have tights on.

I don't think I've ever owned a petticoat. Or a skirt or dress that wasn't lined.

I wore them when they were fashionable for a nanosecond around 1988... fantastically warm in the winter but not much to recommend looks-wise (the 80s ones were quite long and Victorian, not the tulle prom dress-type ones) Local school or college drama dept might like them for period plays?

I always wear a slip under dresses or skirts if they're not lined. (I wear a lot of jersey dresses.)

Oke doke thank you so much

They will go into the hospice charity shop box in the morning,

They are washed and ready to go

These aren't the long cotton ones from 80s

These are cream and white slippery ones
