Can Can Petticoat

 

Most peoples first experience of a petticoat is the sight of the French can can petticoat that the high kicking dancers wear in the old time dancing routines. That is  perhaps where the fascination with these frilly garments came from in the first place and why it is such an evocative sight for so many people.

A can can petticoat is made up of layers and layers of frothy lace, usually worn over silky stockings suspenders and frilly knickers. The sight of all that silk and lace is a stimulating sight to say the least both teasing and revealing at the same time.

A genuine can can petticoat was probably made from pure silk and hand made lace. Taking hours of painstaking work to complete but lasting the owner years. These classic pieces of lingerie are now collectors items changing hands for huge amounts of money.

The modern counterpart of the can can petticoat is manufactured using materials like silk satin, crinoline and taffeta. They are still faithful to the original design and have layers of beautiful satin or lace that cascade around the dancers stocking covered legs.
