Unique Woman's petticoat of pale green silk satin lined with glazed undyed wool and wadded with a thin layer of wool. It is quilted in running stitch with pale green silk thread in a border of undulating vines with abstract fruit and flowers, with tiers of ogee arches above. The petticoat is made of 6 panels of silk, with pocket openings cut into the side panels, bound with 1-inch (2.5 cm) wide pale green silk ribbon. There is a wide box pleat at centre front, with side pleats and an inverted box pleat at centre back with side pleats. The back waist has been pieced with a pale green silk taffeta. The petticoat was altered in the late 19th century, probably for a studio prop. The original waist binding and ties were removed and replaced with linen tape.
