Mary Beth & Jacqueline's Pretty Patterns Number Four 

---

Here are some more ideas, courtesy of Mary Beth and Jacqueline, for readers considering petticoating their husbands, sons etc. This beautifully flounced and floaty party dress is from the 1930s. I would definitely consider making the matching knickers prettier with some ruffles around the legs at the very least. The feeling of tight elastic around the leg has a very salutory effect.

        

Mary Beth and Jacqueline have a special love for old-fashioned bloomers as a part of Jacqueline's petticoating regime. These are both pre-Great War patterns, and they are absolutely superb. Any husband wearing these is sure to feel thoroughly bloomered and subdued. 

        

These are patterns from the World War II era. The romper suit is absolutely precious, and there is plenty of room for a soft, cuddly nappy underneath, if 'Mummy' feels that it is required.
