 Finish styles description:

traditional - machine is used throughout, as suitable for the era

modern - overlocker ( serger) is used om the edges, for a fast and secure finish.

Fabric choices - all period correct, all machine washable

 Cotton sheeting - light, white and durable.

Cotton cambric - stiffer than sheeting, with a gloss, comes in off white/ ivory. Durable, sturdy but light and lovely to touch - my favourite for a historical petticoat!

Cotton twill - slighty thicker than sheeting, but a softer hand, a bit heavier too.  Durable and soft, perfect especially for heavy use or colder climate.

Decoration

  * no decoration - flounces finished plainly, with a sewing machine hem or serged, or selvage

* lace - a few options possible, usually cotton broderie anglaise is used, please contact us for pictures of available styles! White/ ivory was popular, but coloured lace ( red, blue, yellow etc) was also in evidence.

 If you would like a more decorative front flounce/ panel - more lace, pintucks etc, or a trained petticoat,  please contact us prior to ordering!
