Hilary Alexander of the Telegraph hunts down stiff petticoats.

In the ask Hilary fashion column of the Telegraph Hilary Alexander is asked where to get petticoats for a treasured vintage Italian skirt.

Hilary recommends a dance shop in London retailing net petticoats. Had she read Claudia Croft's column in the Sunday Time Style magazine she would have been aware of http://www.petticoatdreams.co.uk - an online retailer that retails an enormous range of petticoats in many different fabrics and colours.

Such a skirt deserves a petticoat from their luxury department in a soft swishing fabric and a colour to match.

Petticoatdreams have been mentioned twice in the Sunday Time Style magazine in Claudia Croft's column as a supplier of petticoats.
