The petticoat is an undercoat or undergarment popular in England in the 16th century.
Over the years, Petticoat has become popular in many countries, including Europe and America.
By the 18th century, petticoat became popular as people wore it as an outer garment.
By the 1970s, the dress could only be rarely seen in boutiques or as fashion.
