Couple days ago my wife and I were looking at some video clips of parties where teens were dancing. They were from back in the mid to late 50s and a few in the early 60s. Most of the girls had on dresses with petticoats under them. These were not professional dancers as in Grease. Anyway the clothes were interesting and we started talking about what the girls were wearing. I asked my wife if she had worn petticoats. She had but when she was very young or with a formal.

She then asked me if I had since she is younger by some years than I am. She knows my history and I said yes as they were popular while I was in my teens. We got to talking about them and the clothes girls wore. Which led to details about clothes and what was under them. Dresses were pretty obvious. Often cotton which meant washing and ironing. Most everyone wore white bras and slips. The interesting thing for her was my telling her about wearing petticoats. I explained that you needed more than one petticoat to hold the dress' skirt out. The only ones I had were half slips. So I could wear a couple or so. I also told her that you often found them scratchy so you wore a regular half slip under them. She asked how did you drive with them on. I told her you pushed them under the steering wheel or folded them the best you could.

She had forgotten when we brought all my fem clothes home from my mothers that the petticoats were in the one box. I donated them to a local high school for their play. If they do Grease I'll get to see them again.

I still have slips and petticoats from the 1960s and they are treasured garments to be worn on special occasions.

I love the 50s style but those dam petticoat dresses take up way to much room in the stash.
One petticoat dress can take as much space as 20 regular dresses.

So true! I actually liked it when they passed and you could wear pencil skirts. Or you wore dresses that you pulled up as you sat down and crossed your legs leaving a few inches of lace. At one time I had a brown A line dress that I wore a bright yellow slip under it. Loved to wear it when I drove and truckers got a kick out of seeing my pretty nylon covered legs.

One thing I have kept are the square dancing outfits and the petticoats and rope slips and full skirts for rock and roll.

I was a hit doing rock and roll demos in the full skirts and rope slips.

People these days never see them in action.

I have always loved crinoline petticoats and full skirts. I was in love with satin bridesmaids gowns with full petticoats underneath for most of my youth.
