My petticoat is here! Ordered on the 26th, received the 29th. It arrived a bit scrunched but after a dunking in water and a little drying time (thanks for the heads-up Petula Darling!) it’s good as new.
Here are the before and afters:

Wow! What a terrific difference! It really finishes the dress.
That really makes all the difference and what a beautiful dress!!!
Oh, my gosh, what a gorgeous dress this is with the proper petticoat! Totally cute. Won’t you feel like swishing that skirt around now!
It looks great!
It’s amazing how much the “right” underpinnings contribute to a dress.
PS It’s gorgeous and I love the red petticoat!
Cute!
I loved the dress before the crinoline, but now it is fantastic!
Wow, I’m astounded at what a difference the petticoat made to the look of the dress. I was wondering if it was worth making or buying a petticoat for the retro fashions I have in the lineup, and obviously it is.
You have convinced me that I really must have a petticoat… I always thought that it would be a ‘nice touch’, but this one takes your dress has gone from cute to stunning.
Ditto to “lady be good said” comments. What a difference. Really lovely dress.
What a difference it makes!
Lovely! It really brings the shape out beautifully. Hmm, have to check if they post to Australia…
Wonderful crinny! I’ve always loved how the crinny helps make our waists look slimmer and promotes the wasp-waisted sillouete.
Love it! Love it! [swooning]
Awesome dress and the petticoat finishes it beautifully!
Oh my gosh, what a difference!!! It was lovely before but so authentically vintage looking now.
Cooool!!!
Much better! What a difference and I just love the red petticoat. I love red, anyway, though!
Wow! What a huge difference! The dress was cute before, but it’s a real looker now!
what a fabulous dress & the petticoat is so so fun!
Perfect!
Not only does it make the dress look great, I love the idea of a cheeky flash of red every now and then when you turn or sit or bend.
It’s a beautiful dress, and it looks great on you!!!
I have a little petticoat like that too – they’re so wonderful with fluffing out full skirts. This dress is adorable; I love that fabric!
That is absolutely adorable. I think the petticoat makes all the difference in the world! I wouldn't change it at all. And– the PINK is so much better than plain old white.
