Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist is a long, cream-colored skirt. The top half of the skirt appears to be made of a smooth, shiny fabric, possibly satin or silk. The bottom half of the skirt is made of a more textured, lace-like material with a floral pattern and a ruffled hem. The skirt is knee-length or longer and appears to be gathered at the waist. The skirt is displayed on a mannequin or form, with only the top portion of the form visible above the skirt. The background is dark brown.
