Winter and short skirts are a lethal combo. Pairing them with over-knees and leg warmers doesn’t help much: long footwear has a tendency of sliding. To fix this issue, I came up with the idea to add garters to a hip-hugging petticoat. This way, you get an extra layer of warmth, and socks that stay put. Our Garter Petticoat Sewing Pattern is a cute solution to one of life’s small problems.
This tight-fitting petticoat is made with stretchy fabric. For the model skirt, I chose a sturdy cotton jersey, which I trust to be the best choice. It’s long-lasting, comfortable, and pretty easy to work with. The garter petticoat has an angular shape, which brings vintage lingerie to mind. Hemmed with elastic lace, the petticoat will look pretty under circle skirts.
