I've always wanted an extra fluffy petticoat, ever since I was a little girl, and I am now 40. Back then, I didn't even know what it was called, so I called it a poof-out skirt, lol.

That dream never died. And as the years passed, my petticoat dreams became more specific. I wanted it made of chiffon and satin, not tulle. And I wanted it to be tea-length, or about down to my shins. And I wanted it to be cherry red, so that I could wear it with a black dress and pay homage to Christian Louboutin, a French luxury shoe designer whose classic shoe is black with a red sole.

So at one point, as an adult, I began my search for the perfect petticoat. I scoured the internet, and looked around on different sites. I knew Amazon and Walmart weren't going to have anything nice, and none of the other sites fit the bill, either. Then I decided to try Etsy. I saw a few options that I was considering, but looking back, I'm so glad I didn't choose them.

So I kept looking, and eventually I found one particular Etsy shop that looked pretty great. I eventually came into some extra money, so earlier in 2023, I was finally able to purchase my first petticoat. I emailed the shop owner, told her what I was looking for, and asked her if she had anything like that. She got back to me pretty quickly, and recommended a glorious petticoat that was exactly what I was looking for. After getting the black dress taken care of, I bought the petticoat.

There were some extra delays on top of an already long wait, because its a busy business that the owner is running by herself, and the order right before mine was a huge project that took longer than expected. It ended up being a several-month wait, but she answered every email and question quickly and with the utmost kindness.

Then, she sent me updated product photos, and a few days later,it arrived on my doorstep.

I yanked the box off my porch and raced upstairs to my bedroom to open it. And it was yard after yard after yard of gloriously soft, fluffy fabric!! I did an unboxing video and everything. I've since worn it on 3 separate occasions. I get a compliment on it every time I wear it somewhere. A few Saturdays ago, I wore it to an all-day excursion where i went to multiple places, and I got compliments what seemed like every 10 minutes. It was great.

I love my petticoat, and it's one of the best purchases I've ever made. I wore it to a New Year's Eve party too, and I got even more compliments!!
