"On-the-ground" report from Chris:

"I saw my first petticoat in public today: My wife and I were in Norwich city in East Anglia this weekend on a beautiful hot day, when I saw a young
lady with her husband and child get off a bus.
"I noticed her mini dress skirt was very bell-shaped and she was fiddling with it at times. When she bent down to place her child in a pushchair, I saw some net under the skirt. We followed them
for a while and the skirt kicked up at the back when she walked - all classic signs. Bad news is I didn't take a camera so no pictures. Retro interest is gathering pace in the UK, so next time I may
be lucky and get some pictures."

BoxPleatFan points us to a nice Gradetanz (Victorgarde) video on YouTube

More such (stills)

Gleb writes: "I just realized that this link is actually to a bunch of guys dancing around in those adorable poufy outfits, and one of them starts to
lose his mini-petti after a few minutes of dancing.
I only noticed the guy thing after switching to hi-def, and then confirming at the end, when a few 'real' dancers come on and give the guys a kiss.
The name "Victorgarde" must be a play on words from the original "Victoriagarde."

Tony:

"Does anyone remember the TV add for flameproof petticoats and dresses, circa 1959? It was for a firm called Heathcote, which produced was a two minute ad showing the horror of an untreated petticoat, using a metal framed model and a treated fire retardant petti on a real live model. The untreated, or flammable, bouffant-type petticoat and dress were gone in a few seconds, ignited by a candle flame; the other only smoldered a little when the model lit a cigarette and dropped the match onto the dress. As a teenager I was very worried that my girlfriends might suffer a fiery fate..."

Chris: "There are many links on YouTube for Sweet Lolitas. Some keep asking me for a flash player, despite me having the latest installed.
I've included some that work and one I wish would work. Perhaps you could offer a solution?"

ED: All we can suggest is that you download the file or code, if available and play it from your computer - any other suggestions, anyone?

Lesley:

"I always thought that no one could make a film about petticoat punishment, not in North America anyway. Perhaps in the UK in the late 60s, early seventies period, but not now. I now believe that in Europe it is very possible. I found a film from Poland, I think, where a beautiful young mother dresses her son as a girl. The film had a very weird title, and it was a very short scene, but very explicit. Another is a film from France called Little Nicholas, where a girl whom the boy is obviously enthralled by dressing him after dominating him totally. Once again, the scene is not very long, but it
makes me wonder if there is a film out there from some country in Europe that is all about this topic...Perhaps someone can help. Anyway, thanks for some great images. It seems that these days, except for TV and the movies, girls do not wear dresses or skirts anymore, unless it is very hot. I am so glad that I was part of that period that you refer to as 'The Era,' however brief."

Crinolyn:

"Orange Caramel ('Hangul') is the first sub group formed from the South Korean pop group After School.
This sub-group was formed with the three newest members:
Nana, Raina and Lizzy. Orange Caramel's concept is more lighthearted and sweet, unlike many girl groups that have recently taken on darker, sexier concepts."
