Petticoats have been a fashion staple for hundreds of years, adding shape and structure to the fashion of many different periods of history. Most commonly worn underneath a skirt or dress, petticoats keep the fabric away from the ankles, making dresses easy to walk in. The petticoat, sometimes referred to as a hoop skirt or an underskirt, also creates a buffer between the dress and the body, keeping the wearer cool and comfortable.
Richard Designs are a fabulous addition to your bridal outfit as they keep your skirt looking clean and full. You won’t have to lift or kick your dress to move as the petticoat moves with you. Our powernet fabric is soft and gentle against the skin and works to smoothen and enhance your silhouette giving you an extra touch of support on your big day.
Depending on where the petticoat sits on the hips, the length can be easily adjusted. If your dress is just a little bit too long, a hoop skirt with a wide circumference will help support the extra fabric, making it the perfect length. Petticoats won’t be seen under the skirt, but the neat satin trim on our designs means that if they are visible, they blend in beautifully with your dress. Richard Designs Blue Ribbon Petticoats feature a hand tied blue bow for your “something blue.”
