From the seller:
Lovely antique c1910 Edwardian lace petticoat - this is super pretty! Likely French. Sheer cotton batiste with lace inserts, and lots of sweet pintucks. Offered "as is" for crafts, re-purposing or design inspiration.
Tiny - measures approx 24" around the waist. It has a 39 inch length, and a sweep around the bottom of 120 inches.
There are discolorations, seam separations, pinholes, and larger holes too, including a larger one near the hem. Not laundered, estate fresh.
Very romantic.
From Me:
This is not a petticoat. It would have been worn over a slip. The ruffles around the diamond lace inserts were meant to be seen - as were the pintucks. The sheerness of the skirt also indicates it is not a petticoat.
