Petticoats & Crinolines

Petticoats & Crinolines

Build the silhouette: soft petticoats for swishable volume, structured crinolines for dramatic shape — comfortable, adjustable, and made for Gothic finery.

Whether you’re styling a 1950s Gothic full skirt or finishing a corset gown, the right under-skirt turns lovely into breathtaking. Choose a cloud-soft tulle petticoat for everyday fullness, or a classic crinoline when you want more structure and sweep.

Petticoat vs Crinoline — which do I need?

  • Petticoat (tulle): soft, swishable lift; perfect under 1950s full skirts and day dresses. Comfortable, easy to walk and sit.
  • Crinoline (structured): firmer A-line or bell shape; ideal under corset gowns and layered Victorian looks when you want drama.

How to choose length

  • Mid length (≈ 55–60 cm): aligns with our 1950s full skirts (knee–mid-calf).
  • Long (≈ 90–105 cm): suited to corset gowns and bustle sets.

Fit & comfort

  • Adjustable drawstring or elastic waists for flexible sizing.
  • Lightweight layers to avoid bulk at the waist.
  • Layer two petticoats for extra fullness without stiffness.

Styling notes

For a classic 1950s silhouette, pair a single petticoat with our Gothic Full Skirts — 1950s Style. For gowns, choose a long crinoline and finish with a corset to smooth and define the waist.

Care

Shake and hang to refresh between wears. Spot clean or gentle hand wash; air dry. Store hanging to keep the layers lofty.
