Girl’s petticoats

We recently completed an extensive children’s clothing order for a museum in Arkansas. These garments are for their children’s interpretive centers and span the 1830s through the 1850s. Here are two examples of the petticoats we made for this commission.


The corded petticoat on the left is suitable for ages 9-12 and the standard tucked petticoat on the right for ages 5-8.

About Susan

Hi! My name is Susan and I am a historian, seamstress, teacher, mother, and wife. My passion for history has manifested itself in the art of recreating clothing from different periods of time. Growing up in the American South, I am heavily schooled in the art of recreating clothing from the 19th century. After nearly a decade of immersing myself primarily in the Victorian period, I found the need to branch out and explore other periods of time. However, it is my connection with the American South and the clothing of rural America that continues to be the driving force behind my designs.
