Petticoat

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Petticoat by an unknown artist shows a cream-colored skirt on a mannequin. The skirt falls to the lower legs and is gathered below the waist. The bottom half of the skirt folds outward, featuring rows of diagonal stitching. The bottom edge of the skirt is trimmed with lace. A thin strap encircles the waist. The mannequin has no head or arms. The background is solid black.
