"A woman who goes to bed with a man ought to lay aside her modesty with her
skirt, and put it on again with her petticoat." [Michel de Montaigne c1560]

"a delicate pink luminosity skirted over the sky

as night curtsied and bid day adieu

showing its indigo crinoline, it blew a velvet kiss

to the parting perfection of another day."

What Is Petticoat Pond?

Petticoat Pond is a site for those of us who adore petticoats, crinolines and any kind of bouffant fashion (Poufbunnies). If you are here, it is only because you are an enthusiast or Poufbunny, so help us out! Send, recommend, suggest or complain! (Beats stompin' your feet!)

Mission:

Petticoats, crinolines, and hoopskirts represent the ultimate of femininity in dress – a look that that exudes the rustle, the expansiveness, the flirtatiousness of the female skirt. These garments accentuate the attractiveness of women and help define the girlish form.

It is Petticoat Pond’s desire to further the wearing of these garments, and educate the public, so as to encourage the perpetuation of their use and display, in the hope that, someday, they will one again be a large part of our day-to-day society.
