Vintage Pettipants with Nylon Nostalgia

Vintage Pettipants with Nylon Nostalgia The name is a portmanteau of petticoat (ultimately from French petit, "small") and pants. Pettipants are similar to long shorts, though they may be made from material such as cotton and lace, and usually have ruffles down each leg. They are available in different lengths up to knee length. In the sixties, they were available in many styles and colours. Nylon and polyester fabrics were used rather than cotton. Lace trim was used. Pettipants are a replacement for a slip. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT ME: Hi, I'm Emma.
