Underskirt Petticoat, A Petticoat History Around The World

Today there is very few pieces of lingerie which can get a man´s attention like the petticoat, however many people have no idea where the sexy lingerie item was first worn. The petticoat was first designed to be an undergarment worn by women under a skirt or dress.

The item was first made popular in the sixteenth to mid-nineteenth centuries. Many petticoats of this time were made to be seen, which first started men´s fascination with these sexy pieces of clothing. The words "petticoat" and "full slip" are often used interchangeably, especially in Europe .

While petticoats were worn for warmth and to give a dress a certain full shape, they were also quite sexy during the early years of use. The petticoat could give a lady the appearance of having a very small waist, which was appealing during these centuries. Some were made of warm materials like wool and others were made of silk and lace.

During the 1820s the waltz became increasingly popular and petticoats were extremely sought after, as they were worn over hoops. The fullness of the look petticoats and full slips gave to women were appealing to men, as during this time a full bodied woman was a sign of good health and wealth.

Today petticoats are still seen as sexy pieces of lingerie though they are rarely worn outside of the bedroom. Of course, many subcultures like gothic and Lolita subcultures are drawn to these items as well and brides often wear them under their wedding gown. While corsets, girdles, petticoats, full slips, garten belts and nylon stockings are not worn on a daily basis any longer, these items are still used for sexy matters by couples who adore lingerie.
