This Adult Black Petticoat brings authentic 1950s volume to any vintage costume or retro outfit. Three-tier organza construction with wire-reinforced hem creates that classic bell silhouette - the kind that defined swing dresses and poodle skirts at sock hops across the decade. Elastic waistband stretches to fit, ribbon-trimmed edges finish each ruffle layer with period-perfect detail.

What's in the Box

Black tutu petticoat

Perfect for 50s costume parties, Halloween pin-up or housewife costumes, rockabilly events, swing dance nights, burlesque performances, gothic lolita styling, or adding volume under any period costume that needs that authentic vintage flare. Wear it under a swing dress for sock hop energy or pair with a fitted top as a standalone tutu for playful costume looks.

Wearer FAQs

What size should I order?

The elastic waistband stretches generously across three size brackets (check the size chart for your waist measurement). The petticoat sits at natural waist level. If you're between sizes or prefer a snugger fit, size down - the elastic gives you flexibility either way.

Can I pack this for travel or does the wire damage easily?

The wire-reinforced hem is designed to bounce back after folding, but for travel we'd recommend hanging it or packing it flat with tissue paper between the layers rather than cramming it into a tight suitcase. The wire won't break from normal handling, but repeated creasing can weaken the structure over time.

Care: Hand wash cold, hang to dry. Do not iron the organza layers directly - steam from a distance if you need to refresh the ruffles.
