I saw this at Dollywood, in an old one-room school house exhibit. It's one of the nice things that Dolly Parton does here -- the preservation of old times, old things, old arts and crafts.
School Mistress Etayne would have never made it in two petticoats!! (And I work in Green County!) :::giggle:::

wow...those rules do not sound fun at all! lol i don't think i have ever worn a petticoat. okay maybe when i was a little girl. perhaps they will come back into fashion.
OMG! I hope not! I don't know how hot it is in your corner of the world, but I'd fall over of heat stroke if I had to wear those!
Although, I have to admit... they do speak to the princess in me.. (shhhh!)
those are hard-core - and people really believed that was the way to go! yeargh.
petticoats would be fun if you didn't Have To, or for Very Long.
There is a great shot of Yubaba in Spirited Away - seen that? She's the head of the bathhouse, and she jumps down from above and you see all her layers of petticoats - it is great!!
So you only wear one petticoat? You must be a liberated woman!
Well, the loitering in ice cream parlors would've gotten me tossed out for sure. D'oh! But there's always room for ice cream.... :)
