Petticoats may no longer be a wardrobe requirement for everyday clothes, but these fun and feminine accessories have made a fashionable comeback in the world of grandiose weddings and elegant bridal wear.

The petticoat, also known as the underskirt, is a garment worn underneath the wedding dress or the skirt. For Asian clothing, like the sari, a petticoat is worn to add volume to the skirt or to hide the contours of your legs when wearing extremely thin fabrics. Most of the time, sari petticoats are made from thin fabrics bearing the same color as the actual skirt.

A particularly lovely form or type of petticoat called the full-tiered petticoat has made a wonderful comeback as part of the wardrobe essentials of various subcultures like the Lolita and the Gothic subculture. The reason for wearing petticoats may have changed throughout the years. However, you can be sure that the overall design of these fashionable underskirts has remained pretty much the same, save for some slight alterations that include the use of bright colors and ripping as part of the petticoat design.

You can use a petticoat for period weddings to help provide ample support for your dress. The petticoat will give your beautiful and classic bridal wear an extremely authentic look.

Picking a Perfect Petticoat

To help you pick out the perfect petticoat for your wedding dress, we’ve come up with a list of helpful tips designed to bring you closer to your dream petticoat.

Tip 1: Make sure you truly need to purchase a petticoat to wear with your wedding dress.

Most wedding dresses come with sewn-in petticoats so you may not need to purchase a separate underskirt. If you find that you want some additional volume to your skirt, then you can wear another petticoat to make your gown appear puffier or fuller.

Tip 2: Consider your dress design and style when picking your petticoat.

The type of petticoat you purchase depends on the kind of dress you’re wearing. If you’re wearing a princess-shape wedding dress, then look for a petticoat that makes your skirt appear voluminous enough to show off the A-Line style of your dress.

Tip 3: Pick a petticoat closest to your wedding dress color.

Unless you’re going for color-contrast, picking a petticoat color that matches your wedding dress is an effective way of concealing your bridal undergarments or lingerie.

Tip 4: For wider selections and better deals, purchase your petticoats online.

In the same way you can make amazing deals when you purchase any type of garment online, shopping online for your petticoat lets you make a well-informed choice by allowing you to conduct price and design comparisons from various online shops. Don’t purchase the first petticoat you encounter while browsing online; wait until you find the best deal and the perfect petticoat design for you.

Tip 5: Find a petticoat with a fabric that you’re comfortable with.

If you’re uncomfortable with sheer or net-like fabrics, then find a petticoat with a smoother texture. There’s nothing quite as distasteful as scratching away at your petticoat-covered legs during the entire reception simply because your petticoat fabric is itchy. Maintain your composure and poise with the right petticoat fabric.

When looking for your petticoat, remember to take comfort, price and design into consideration.
