Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist depicts a long, cream-colored skirt made of fabric, featuring a wide waistband and a flared shape that becomes wider towards the bottom. The skirt is primarily cream-colored with lace detailing at the bottom. It appears to be made of a lightweight material and has a layered look with ruffles or lace trim along the hem. The skirt is displayed on a mannequin or dress form against a dark background.
