Quality and Beauty!
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.

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 :)

TOO FLOUNCY
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.

Sizes run LARGE
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.

I adore my petticoat!
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!

Cream petticoat
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.

Purchased for me...
I purchased this petticoat so that I wouldn't have to make myself one for an upcoming event. I was hopeful that it would fit. Sadly I am right at the end of the size chart this this was just a bit snug. That's ok, I was able to let my niece use it she is much smaller than I am and the extra fullness was good under her 1890s walking skirt. The fabric was lovely and soft. And shipping was super quick.

Attractive and comfortable
The slip is nicely made with a soft fabric that washed and dried nicely. I'm tall and it hits me at my ankles, which is fine.

Always great petticoats
I've always been very pleased with the quality and price of these petticoats. I am a costume designer, and the first set I bought years ago are still in terrific shape after repeated washing.

Pretty Petticoat
Uncertain of size to order, so I went with Large. Fit good..and with the adjustable draw string, it was secured and gave a nice fullness to the black walking skirt worn over the top. The ruffled hemline gave a very nice affect and petticoat added additional warmth this early, chilly Fall.

It makes such a delicious SWISH sound when you...
Initially, I ordered this in an XL for my 40" waist and I had to exchange it for a large. It is a nice weight of cotton. Not so light that I fear to wear and tear it, but not so heavy that the waist tie binds. Really simply perfect. I wore it around town this winter under another skirt (or three - I'm so not used to this thing called "winter"). The extra ruffled layer that goes from just under the knee to the ground really made a difference on the wind-up-the-skirt chill factor and yet, being cotton, was not uncomfortable when indoors where this marvel called "electric heat" was up and running. Also, it is a titch longer for a section at the rear of the skirt. For the first time in my life, I found a skirt wasn't shorter in back than in front when worn with my overly large keister (I could make Kim Kardashian jealous!). In fact, that extra 2" of length is just enough to make it hang level to the ground should you decide to wear it over a bustle. Liked it so much, I bought it in white, too. :)

Versitile & comfortable
This is a really useful skirt. It's light and full enough for an under-skirt. I've also "cheated" and worn it as an outer-skirt in hot weather/environments. If you put a belt over the waist you can't see the drawstring, and it passes nicely for a walking skirt. I'm very happy it's 100% cotton, so it's breathable in warm weather.

Can't beat the quality
I have purchased other "costume-type" clothing from other sellers online and you never know what you're going to get. Often it is cheap, flimsy, thin material, with bad sewing, crooked seams,skimpy cut, etc. Not so with this lovely petticoat. The fabric is thick and excellent-quality. The workmanship is excellent- I am a seamstress myself so I do recognise when things are very well-made. Given the amount of fabric used (very generous) and the quality of it (where do they get their cotton? Because I can't find anything this nice at the usual fabric stores), as well as the craftsmanship of the construction- I could not make this petticoat for what I paid for it here. The styling is excellent and versatile. I can wear this under a Renaissance skirt with a peasant blouse and bodice, or I could layer it under a Victorian gown for the Dicken's Faire. Or....I may just toss on a french sailor tee-shirt and wear it to the beach!

pretty enough to wear as a skirt
This petticoat is so pretty and so well made, I wear it as a skirt and I get lots of compliments. Because of the tie waist, it will fit whether I gain or lose. I will buy the white petticoat now that I know it's worth every penny!

Great Underlayer
I was worried that this petticoat, even in a small, would be too big for me. Thankfully it's wonderfully adjustable, so even bunching isn't an issue. Good cotton, well made, a lovely staple piece.

High Quality Petticoat
I purchased this skirt after trying one for the same price from Amazon. The Amazon skirt was shorter than I needed so I tried this one, not only was the Classic Cotton Petticoat the perfect length for me, but it was much softer, more comfortable, and had the perfect level of poof for my needs. My only issue is that I purchased the small and it was still waaaaay to big. I was able to tighten the drawstrings to fit eventually, but it leaves bunching marks under my dress.

I made mine in the past but just didn’t have time. I could not have made one prettier. It is of very fine durable yet soft cotton. It ironed up beautifully. I am wearing it over my hoop skirt and just what I need to keep my hoop from flying.

I purchased this petticoat to wear with a steampunk skirt. I wasn't sure of what size to buy so I sent an email query which was answered quickly and gave helpful suggestions. The petticoat arrived quickly. It's beautiful and fits perfectly.

It's a pity to hide it under a skirt.
High quality and as described. Watch waist size. I was happy I ordered a size down from what I normally wear or there would have been too much gathering at the top.

Petticoat rules!
This petticoat fits the need perfectly. The double flounce on the petticoat fluffs the dress out nicely. Pay attention to the waist size on this - I did and I'm very glad I ordered the small; the size chart works well for this item.

Perfect!
This was the perfect undergarment to show a little white and to cover the top of my cowboy boots for my son's wedding. I am tall and they are long enough and I am full in the hips and thighs and they were wide enough. Very pleased.

Lovely Petticoat
Nice material, and the double ruffle at the bottom is really wonderful! The first time I wore it as an underskirt for a black scalloped bustle skirt. It holds a skirt out nicely, yet I think it could be worn as a skirt itself. Starched and ironed, with all that lovely lace, it is a thing of beauty.
