Yes. I own an original petticoat made from manufactured corded fabric
and have information on several others. I also have patent information
on several designs of corded fabrics. My original has the cords in
groups, with the number of cords increasing from top to botton. While
a few women may have continued to wear corded petticoats after 1860,
my research indicates they fade from common use with the advent of the
steel crinoline. I'd be happy to discuss my research with you.
