This topic is really interesting. My great grandmother, post Victorian and a very conservative dresser, wore a red winter petticoat. I believe it was flannel. When I was young I though that it was amazing and wanted one of my own. I wonder how ideas and colors of underpinnings have changed.
Angelique Grandmother was a tee totaling Methodist and not wild in the least. She did bake an excellent sugar cream pie and smelled like Lavendar. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
