Colin:
"Here are two stills from the Dreamboats & Petticoats musical (based on 1950s & '60s hit songs), which seems to be doing well in the UK just now. The pictures leave one wanting to see the show in order to find out more of what is underneath!" Click to enlarge varyingly Another we already had

Here is an interesting
petti-intense square dance instruction
vidclip, sent anonymously
...and Crinolyn sends the "Swing Time with Margaret" video series: #1 #2 #3 Dara reports:
"The first episode of the TV
Series The United States of Tara reached this side of the
pond last night. The daughter of the family appeared in a lovely
plaid pleated skirt with netting early in the episode and was then
the lead dancer in a ballet. Her costume had
lovely multiple layers of skirt, as had the other ballet dancers. There's no particular reason to think that pettis will feature in further episodes but this one was thrilling. Can't find any clips or stills unfortunately." |

Several have responded to
Sugarbarre's initial posting on 20 August Karen K. seems to have found the complete answer: "Since we already had the names of 4 of the ladies
in that photo, I thought I'd look around the Internet and see if there
was another copy of that Here is a video showing Miss Gray wearing that gown, pointed to by Michelle O. Buy the film
Misha points out this video from The Pirate (1948):"Judy Garland in a long gown
(cute and lovely), with petticoats swirling and revealing, as she
chases Gene Kelly, throwing things at him." |

...also from Ken R.:
"Someone put up
this clip
from The Danny Thomas Show (Make Room for Daddy) on the
dailymotion.com site. It features Pond favorite
Angela Cartwright
as Linda. Danny feels she needs to be spanked for being
disobedient. Of course, he can't and would never spank her,
which makes for a funny bit. While she lies over his lap her
luscious pettis burst out like a beautiful flower. This scene is
probably from
one of the DVD sets out."
Lindsey writes: "Just to
confirm Ken R's guess, this episode is indeed available on DVD.
It's called 'Linda's Giant,' |
