childs petticoat?

u751904

I am sorry I suspect this isn't the correct forum but couldn't work out which other one to go for...

has anyone come accross a child petticoat? age 6...

I've been trying to find one.

today I went into next and asked where there camisoles were? the girls said she didn't understand. At the weekend I went into M&S and asked for a petticoat and the girl? / woman didn't know what I was on about. Sure I can't be that old (38? !)

They just don't seem to do them any more,I think they are good for little ones in the winter..

nope - I cannot remember the last time I saw a petticoat on the high street! been looking for one for myself. and it seems that kids are lucky to have Vests after age 5!
I know I am knocking on a bit - but I wasnt allowed to discard my Liberty (what a misnomer) bodice until May - and it was back on in September! but vests and petticoats were worn all year round - No wonder we thought summers were warmer back in the Olden Days!

Hi u751904,

The last time I bought a child's peticoat was fifteen years ago from mothercare. I'm afraid that I have no idea if they still do them.

As you're thread has dropped down the Old style board I've moved it over to the I wanna buy-it or do-it board to see if you can get more replies.

the last one i bought was a disney princess one (with cotton vest like top and shiny nylon skirt) in woolies about four years ago. my daughter gets them in bags of handmedowns, but not seen any in the shops recently

I just had a quick search on ebay, they have about 10 different one's listed for age 6. You should try have a look and see if there's any suitable. Hope this helps

We needed one for my daughter a couple of months ago and after searching the high street from everywhere like Mothercare, John Lewis, M&S, BHS, etc I finally bought one online from the children's salon. My daughter has just turned 5 and I bought the age 5 - 6 and it fit her perfectly. I think the brand is couche tot or something like that. I've just searched on ebay and if you search girls petticoat or girls underskirt it will bring up a very similar section. The top half was like a plain white vest with a layered skirt, someone is selling a couche tot one on ebay if you want to see the type we got but it is age 6 -7

I've just re-read your original post, the couche tot one will be a bit full for what you're looking for. Sorry my last post was a bit rubbish. I've not seen traditional petticoats for a long time, probably not since I wore one as a child (I'm the same age as you)
