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!
