Jay Jay writes:

"I found this on the UK Daily Mail's web site. The caption says: 'A contestant in the Miss Cholita Pacena pageant, a popular Bolivian beauty contest for Andean indigenous women, twirls during her presentation in La Paz.'
 
"I'm sure you'll agree that it's a very unusual, but beautiful petticoat, made of lovely fine pink lace."

Gerry Down Under:

"Here is a postcard I picked up in Portugal this year (2008); it’s an old photo showing washer women from the seaside town of Nazare, north of Lisbon, where the women traditionally wear seven petticoats!"

Tessy - Guess we're all heading to Portugal!

 

 

  

 

 

 

Tessy believes these "squaw skirts" 
were from the eighties, not sure, 
though. In any case, she never saw 
them on the street with pettis, like 
these. Fashion photographer artistic
license, she guesses.
