Quilted petticoats were worn throughout much of the 18th century by women of all social classes. The quilted designs could be quite plain with just a simple diamond pattern or very complex, as seen in many surviving originals, with floral designs and even fantastical animals. With the introduction of weaving techniques that simulated the more time-consuming hand quilting, an inexpensive alternative meant petticoats and other quilted garments became more widely available in the second half of the 18th century. Loom-quilted or mock-quilted petticoats made of a natural colored "Marseilles" or "Marcella" cloth increased in popularity in the 1760s and 1770s.

The mock-quilted cotton fabric provided in our kits is a good representation of these period fabrics. These petticoats can be worn as an outer garment but are ideal as an under petticoat, worn for warmth or as a foundation garment. Under petticoats can be made a bit shorter than an outer petticoat, so keep that in mind when thinking about how you plan to wear your finished petticoat.
