This gal looks like her petti is slipping away! From Abby Rhodes

(le) Bee adds this cogent point: "Looking at that picture I can see that the petticoat will get snagged in the wheel spokes.  Ladies' bicycles, in the 'fifties, were fitted
with a dress guard (a cover that slipped over the mudguard (fender) of the rear wheel and clipped on to the wheel hub to prevent such mishaps.  I wonder how far she
got before her petti was torn to shreds!"

Nancy N. points out these cute-pie pictures on this delightful dressmaker's site - she calls it a 'skater dress.'

 

"This is from Duplica on Deviant Art (Lolita site). Many petticoat images, both photos and art.  Site URL unknown." ED:  File name indicates taken by "Miette."

 

CLICK FOR CLOSE-UP OF OBJECT OF INTEREST The file is entitled 'by Mark Arbeit, 1995', so it  is probably a more contemporary shot, and Mr. Arbeit is the photographer. In any case, it is  a pretty dress on a pretty girl.
