Curator Notes
Good condition. Scattered holes throughout fabric. A tuck has been taken midpoint around the circumference of skirt to shorten the length. Tucks have been taken at the waistband to decrease the waist size. Possible sewing project by a student due to the irregular construction techniques, which have caused the petticoat to be slightly misshapen.
