What is an adjustable top petticoat and how is it adjustable?
Many of the Malco Modes and Sam’s Manufacturing petticoats come with an adjustable top. An adjustable top allows you to easily change the length of the petticoat and/or the tightness of the waistband. It gives your wardrobe greater versatility. You can wear the same petticoat with skirts of different lengths and they will all look great. These petticoats typically have 3 rows of casing which are open at one of the seams. When the waistband elastic is thread through the top casing, the petticoat is at its longest. You can easily remove the elastic from the top casing and thread it through the middle casing to shorten the length of the petticoat by 1 inch or thread it through the bottom casing to shorten it by 2 inches. All you need is a safety pin to pull the elastic through the casing. If you find the elastic in the waistband is not tight enough, reposition the button in the elastic to obtain the desired tightness.
