A beautifully preserved antique white cotton skirt, originally created as a petticoat during the Edwardian era and now wonderfully suited to modern dressing.
Made from lightweight, softly textured white cotton, the skirt falls in generous gathers from the waist, creating an effortless, flowing silhouette. The lower portion is adorned with two bands of delicate lace insertion, finished with an exquisite scalloped lace hem.
While originally intended to be worn beneath a dress or skirt, its beautiful construction and decorative finish make it equally lovely worn today as a skirt in its own right. Pair it with a simple linen blouse, cashmere sweater, fitted knit, or even a denim jacket for a beautiful contrast between antique craftsmanship and contemporary style.
The understated upper portion allows the intricate lacework at the hem to become the focal point. It is a wonderful example of how an antique textile can be given a new life within a modern wardrobe.
