Woman’s petticoat of Ivory silk satin, lined with unbleached linen and wadded with wool. It is quilted in running stitch with white silk thread in a horizontal pattern of undulating lines against a fish-scale ground around the hem and a chevron pattern above. At the hip level there is a narrow horizontal border of lozenges. The petticoat is made of 6 panels of silk with pocket openings cut into each side panel and self-bound. The hem is bound with ⅞-inch (2.0 cm) wide pale blue silk ribbon.
The petticoat was altered, probably in the late 18th century for a taller wearer and the embroidery was probably added at this time. Floral sprigs worked in silk twist in yellow, cream, shades of brown, blue, pink and green were embroidered in satin and stem stitches randomly over the quilting.
The petticoat was altered in the late 19th century, probably for fancy dress. The waist binding and ties were removed, the back waist gathered and rebound.
