I love this undergarment, I just wish it had elastic in the waist instead of a drawstring. I had to size down and had no trouble exchanging it.

I am thrilled with how well made this petticoat is. The quality is exceptional. The details on the tiers of the skirt are so very pretty. It feels beautiful to wear, and it will last for years. This is my first purchase from Historical Emporium, and this petticoat made a great impression! I won't hesitate to buy other articles, based upon the quality, value and attractiveness of this petticoat.

I recently purchased the classic cotton natural petticoat for under my walking skirt & I am impressed & in love with it. I was really expecting something totally different & fell in love with it the moment I took it out of the box. The fact that it is a drawstring and adjusts comfortably is a plus, barely falling to my ankles ( I stand at 5'4 1/4 & wear a 2x) really helps when it comes to my skirts. I can't wait to add more colors to my 19th C undergarment wardrobe. Thank you :)

It was just what I needed to make my Steampunk outfit work.

What a gorgeous petticoat for a reasonable price. I love it!
There was nothing wrong with the petticoat expect it was too flouncy. The Traditional was much better for me.

Natural Classic Cotton Petticoat
I absolutely LOVE this petticoat. It adds just the right amount of fullness for my skirts, yet is not heavy or bulky, a "must have" for the "walking skirts". It is VERY well made & I highly recommend this petticoat to anyone & everyone.

I like this petticoat very much, and I think it will work very well under my skirt. However, the sizes run enormous! This is not true to the sizing chart at all. I ordered a medium, since that's what I usually buy, and I could have fit another me in there.
Fortunately, my husband has some tailoring ability, and he was able to take it in eight inches and up eight inches (I am also short).
If you don't want to make adjustments, I'd order a size or possibly two sizes smaller than usual, but it's fun and well made.

This is my very first petticoat and I love it! Nearly every day begins with the thought "what will look good with my petticoat today?" I live in Alaska and the winters can be pretty cold! I gave up on pants several months ago in favor of skirts...and now thanks to this fabulous petticoat I no longer have to wear several skirts at once a day to stay warm! I can't wait till I can afford to buy another! I bought an extra large this time, my next one I'll order the large so I don't have so much extra to cinch! Not accustomed to ordering things online and needing to take measurements! But I still LOVE what I got and wear it every day!

An excellent petticoat to go under any of the skirts available. I have used it with several skirts and it works well with all.

It goes with the natural classic cotton camisole which I bought several months ago, to make a nice feminine summer outfit. I love the way the bottom folds swish around me as I walk.
