Who used to wear the stiff, layered net petticoats?
Oh yes I had one of those. I used to stiffen it with sugar and water. It was shocking pink and had oodles of frills. I was so proud of it. I wore it to jive at the local ballroom. I wore it with a black full circle skirt which had white, rock-around-the-clock, clock faces and music notes printed on it. I really, really wish that I still had both the underskirt and the skirt. I don’t even remember what happened to them. I really thought I was the cat’s whiskers in that outfit.
