Retro Petticoats and Modern Fashion

Today, the petticoat remains alive and well as a fusion of classical sensibility displayed with a modern approach. No longer tucked exclusively behind large, flowing dresses, many petticoats today have become sex symbols in their own right: petticoat styles take are associated as much with a vixen approach to fashion as they are with a formal one.

50s styles petticoats are generally multi-layered, nylon and satin underskirts which are worn as an expression of retro, vintage sensibility. Generally over 24 inches in length, they are short enough to be sexy while long enough to stand on their own right. Today, many women wear them as a type of lingerie or costume attire, bringing to life a bygone era of fashion in a new way.

Extending this trend further, clover petticoats come in a variety of styles that make them part of the alternative fashion scene. With multiple layers, the skirts often come in trendy patterns from polka dots to glitter, showing how far the petticoat has come since its origins as a supportive undergarment.
