Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a cream-colored Petticoat by an unknown artist. The Petticoat is long, reaching below the knee. The Petticoat has a wide waistband and appears to be made of a lightweight fabric, possibly cotton or linen. The Petticoat has two distinct sections: the top section appears to be a plain cream color with a smooth texture; the bottom section features lace trim along the bottom edge. The lace is a floral pattern and appears to be a lighter shade of cream than the rest of the Petticoat. The Petticoat appears to have a gathered or ruffled section just above the lace trim. The background of the image is black.
