seasons fashion collections.
Press Release
Body = The spring 2004 and Fall 2003 fashion seasons have seen a
return of petticoats in the form of a fifties revival, but this
season petticoats
are the designers "must have" accessory. From a little
tulle showing beneath the hem of a skirt to layers of chiffon filling
out skirts to almost ridiculous proportions. The feminine look is
back with swishing skirts and all the glamour of lost era. It appears
the feminine look is back to stay. Skirts of all styles are being
filled out with petticoats in chiffon, organdy and tulle.
Every designer
seems to have a different take, from short flirty skirts filled
out almost horizontally from the waist tutu like to long layered
creations that would be
at home in "Gone with the Wind". The more retail focused
collections feature the fifties style skirt or dress tapering out
from the waist giving the accentuated waistline so common in that
decade.
The petticoat
had faded into obscurity, worn only music videas or at weddings.
After a brief appearance in the 80's as a fashion accessory of the
young avante garde it became a cult item. Worn by punk or goth princesses
with attitude and torn tights. Never quite disappearing the petticoat
was removed from the UK retail price index in 2001, though how it
remained in this list until then in itself is suprising.
The catwalk
look is not easily transferred to the high street and most retailers
have 50's style skirts with a little net attached to the hem to
mimic the designers
collections.
Petticoatdreams
is unique in offering petticoats in a number of styles, which can
be worn with or without a skirt depending on the desired "look".
Chiffon, organdie to sparkly organza, over one hundred styles from
the short sexy petticoat to longer bridal or formal styles.
