Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist shows a long, cream-colored skirt made of fabric that appears wrinkled. The skirt is knee-length and flares out at the bottom. It features multiple layers of lace and crocheted trim at the hem. The top portion of the skirt is plain, while the bottom has intricate lace details in a repeating pattern. The skirt is displayed on a mannequin or form, with a white top visible at the waist. The background is dark.
