Offered for sale is one brand new, never worn ladies
loom-quilted petticoat. This isn't your ordinary
petticoat. It is made from "quilted" fabric called
matellesse. The history of matellesse or "Marseilles"
cloth can be found here. Quilted petticoats add more
insulation during the colder months for those events
that are on the chilly side. Contrary to popular
thought, quilted petticoats also offer "air conditioning"
during warmer months by holding the skirts away from
the legs. I can attest to the added advantage of
quilted petticoats keeping the skirts from becoming
entangled around the ankles - I no longer worry about
tripping over my hems while walking.
Considered a foundation garment and to be worn as
undress/underwear, this petticoat is pleated to a
waistband with two pocket slits.This quilted petticoat
will fit women with a thicker waistline and hangs about
mid-calf on a 5'4" female.

Waist:40-48"
