Joe A.:
"Good news. If you check out 'ballroom dancing' videos on YouTube you will see that there is a  great improvement in the style of the ladies'
dresses. They seem to be, at last, returning to the wearing of petticoats. While no match for those fabulous dresses that we enjoyed till the
early '80s, the styles are still long, but much fuller, and clearly using a lot a net instead of feathers!. There is hope!"

Denise: "Here is a sound clip from a radio broadcast of 'Womans' Hour,' a radio show in Britain that has been going for at least 50 years; several years ago they had this item about petticoats. About six minutes into the clip they get to a discussion of the 50's. One of the participants describes how as a young girl, she would 'go to C and A, and drool over the petticoats -  they were all very, very pretty, bound with ribbon and lace.'  She also describes a date she had  when she was thirteen: As she stepped off the bus to meet her boyfriend, the elastic on her cancan petticoat snapped, and she stood there 'with yards of frilly net petticoat trailing around her ankles.'  She doesn't remember if he went out with her again, but I think we would all LOVED to have been him!"

Chris C.:  "Where is this girl?  The Pond needs to make contact - listen to this video: She has friends who like petticoats.
This is the nearest thing to a revolution and needs nurturing."
