Petticoats and Crinolines in Films
Please take
notice: These films mostly contain lovely visions of bouffant skirts,
particularly of the 50's style, and MIGHT show peeks of petticoats. Very
few show full petti-views (these will be noted).
We are also now adding films
which feature classic crinolines and petticoat as well. You might also review
the corsetfilm list located
here.
Many of the corset-era productions show gowns and petticoats as well!
Any rating comments obviously refer to the quality of the film vis-à-vis frou-frou
If you think something is missing--tell us!

- "Voulez-vous danser avec moi?" (Video title: "Do You Want to Dance With Me?") Still clips and moving gif Joe A.: "The film is very good quality - Miss Bardot, besides looking stunningly beautiful is, for most of the film, dressed en bouffant in a green gingham full skirt with a white nylon cancan petticoat beneath. There are many low level camera shots, and some great dance sequences where Miss Bardot beautifully displays her petticoats. The story is also entertaining!." |

-- TVS --
In this series we can find a lot of very
fine dresses of the 1860's era. Also there is, especially, a
gorgeous
dressing sequence with a cage crinoline
and a splendid lace and ruffles petticoat, combined with a fine ball
gown at the end of sequel ten.

| 1994 | CORRINA, CORRINA -- A glimpse of a little girl's pettis under her dress as she sits on the stoop toward the end. Nothing major, except some 50s bouffant on adults. Another favorite scene is of the girls jumping rope in full skirts. | JENNIFER LEWIS | |

| 1979 | CUBA --
Sean Connery and Ms. Adams are lovers in
this virtual remake of "Casablanca" set in 1958 during the Cuban
revolution. There are numerous glimpses of typical late fifties gowns, and
one young lady gives a full view of her white, crinoline petticoats as she
dresses after seducing and killing one hapless man.

BROOKE ADAMS | |
| 1987 | CYNDI LAUPER IN PARIS (Concert) -- Ms. Lauper performed in Paris whilst wearing the cutest, shortie dress and petticoat. Typical petticoat of the New Wave era. | CYNDI LAUPER |
