Petticoats
Pairs well with
25-inch petticoat designed to add dramatic volume and silhouette to any dress. Features a fully lined construction with ruffled hem and adjustable elasticated waistband, accommodating sizes XS–2X and One Size, and 3X–5X Plus. Crafted from a premium blend of 80% polyamide, 17% polyester, and 3% elastane for durability and comfort.
This essential undergarment creates the perfect foundation for bold, voluminous looks. Please note: warehouse fulfillment requires an additional 5–7 days. Colour may vary slightly between production batches. As an undergarment, petticoats are non-returnable and are a final sale item.
Fit & Volume Guide
Garment Measurements
- Length: 25 inches (approx. 63 cm) — measured from waistband to hem
- Waistband: Elasticated, stretches to fit a wide range of waist sizes
- One Size (XS–2X): Waist approx. 24–42 in / 61–107 cm
- Plus (3X–5X): Waist approx. 42–56 in / 107–142 cm
- Layers: Single-layer ruffled tulle over a fully lined underskirt
Silhouette Guide
- A-line & Swing dresses: Ideal pairing — the petticoat fans out naturally beneath fitted bodices, creating a classic 1950s rockabilly silhouette.
- Fit & Flare skirts: Adds soft, controlled poof without overpowering the dress structure.
- Pencil & bodycon styles: Not recommended — the volume will distort the intended silhouette.
- Circle skirts: Excellent match — layers align with the sweep of the skirt for maximum drama.
Layer Choices & Volume
- Single petticoat (standard volume): Adds a noticeable lift and roundness — comfortable for all-day wear, walking, and sitting. Best for everyday events and dances.
- Two petticoats stacked: Dramatically increases volume and hold. Recommended for photo shoots, themed events, or stage looks. Note that sitting may require adjustment.
Dress-Length Compatibility
- Mini (above knee): Petticoat may peek below the hemline — this can be a styled look or trim the petticoat hem if preferred.
- Knee-length (around 25 in): Perfect match — petticoat sits at or just below the dress hem for full, rounded volume.
- Midi (28–34 in): Petticoat will be fully concealed; still adds volume and structure to the lower skirt.
- Maxi (35 in +): Minimal visible effect; the petticoat adds subtle body but will not show.
