petticoat

Cerezo dresses De la Huerta in a white petticoat and matching corset until she tosses off the top and demands total silence.

If untended, it has below the green top what some people call “petticoats” of dead leaves, but I think they look like those furry chaps that silent movie cowboys used to wear.

And cambric and lawn for new petticoats, long ones and short ones.

Their bodies were their canvases, which they bedecked in feather boas, tutus, corsets, Victorian petticoats, Edwardian frock coats, wigs, wings, headdresses, ribbons, sequins, rhinestones, satin, face paint and an abundance of glitter.

Still so unlike the stiff petticoats most Marvellian women chose to wear.
