Fun and full of volume, this vintage crinoline petticoat features soft white layers with bright red ribbon trim in a cheerful white polka dot print. It has that classic full-skirt look that works beautifully under square dance dresses, party dresses, costumes, or rockabilly-inspired outfits. The shape is airy and dramatic without being overly bulky, and the red polka dot ribbon gives it wonderful visual charm.
The interior tag reads Crinolines and Hoops by Fred Perry, and another tag shows size 11-12, suggesting this was made for a youth or girls fit. It closes with a hook-and-eye closure.

CONDITION: GOOD (Poor-->Fair-->Good-->Very Good-->Excellent-->Mint): This petticoat presents well overall with nice fullness and eye-catching trim. The hook-and-eye closure is present, but it is loose and should be reinforced or shored up prior to wear. There is general age and storage wear, including light wrinkling, some minor discoloration or age toning in spots, and typical wear to the inner construction.
I aim to please, and describe every item to the best of my ability. But please note that my vintage items often received frequent use back in their day, so may show visible signs of wear and age. Personally, I wouldn't have it any other way, as I treasure those marks of the past.
