Janet writes: "I thought that you might like this, which comes from the English National Opera's website advertising a production of Gilbert & Sullivan's The Gondoliers (which is on in London in March). It would appear that it is being done as if in the 1950's rather than the 1890's."

Elizabeth writes: "The picture, from a local newspaper, is from a 2004 play in San Diego entitled I Love You - You're Perfect - Now Change. The woman in this particular scene is singing 'Always a Bridesmaid, Never A Bride' and is wearing a bright pink satin bridesmaids dress (note the large bow on the bodice) with a very full petticoat sticking out all around. All in all, a very nice picture!"

"I went to seeTristan and Yseult at the West Yorkshire
Playhouse (England) last night (in November 2005). The two women were wearing
well- petti'd skirts for most of the evening and there was plenty of
dancing too! The only "decent" picture from their web site
was this one |

She performs a playful strip tease out of her gorgeous gown and teases us with an enchanting parasol dance.

"I
am not sure how long this
New York Times link will stay available.
There is a slide show with some
pictures from a Broadway production of The Pajama Game (female lead
Kelli O'Hara). While there are no grand and glorious petticoat views,
since the story is set in the 50s, there are some tasteful dresses and skirts
with petticoats beneath, some of which are displayed in the audio slide show.
I have attached four screen shots from the slide show."

"If you are in the mood for
exposure of mid-Victorian pettis, try the Broadway production of

much could have been done in those dresses...sigh..."
