pettipants old use

Pettipants are a type of lingerie worn by women.

There is also a type of "slip" designed to be worn under pants known as "pettipants".

Pettipants are most commonly worn by square dancers and people participating in historical reenactment.

Unlike other types of underwear, pettipants will not ride up and eliminate hot-weather chafing.

Pettipants are similar to long shorts, though they may be made from material such as cotton and lace, and usually have ruffles down each leg.

Often dancers wear specially-made square dance outfits, with multiple layers of crinolines, petticoats, or pettipants.

When pettipants were fashionable, they were usually worn under skirts, dresses, culottes, or walking shorts for modesty or comfort.
