Girls' petticoats
The Secret to Perfect Special Occasion Dresses
Your daughter's dress for First Communion, wedding ceremony, or special party deserves to look absolutely perfect. The truth is simple: without the right petticoat underneath, even the most beautiful dress falls flat. Our Girls' Petticoats provide the structure and fullness that transform ordinary dresses into extraordinary memories.
Why Parents Choose Our Petticoats:
- Adjustable waistbands that grow with your child, saving you money
- Soft, premium materials that won't irritate sensitive skin during long ceremonies

When we tested petticoats with 100 Irish mothers, 87% said our adjustable design was the single most important feature. Unlike ordinary petticoats that are outgrown quickly, ours extend their useful life by up to 3x longer.

How to Choose the Perfect Petticoat
Finding the right petticoat shouldn't be complicated. Answer these three questions:
- What's the occasion? Communion petticoats provide moderate fullness, flower girl petticoats offer maximum volume, and everyday petticoats deliver lighter support.
- What's your daughter's dress size? Our petticoats come in exact age-appropriate sizes with adjustment room built in. Simply match to her current dress size.
- What's the dress length? Your petticoat should be 1-2cm shorter than the dress hem. We offer lengths from knee to full-length.
What Irish Parents Say:
"After wasting money on two cheaper petticoats, I wish I'd just started with yours. The adjustable waist meant my daughter wore it for First Communion and then again as a flower girl 14 months later." - Mary, Cork
"The difference in how my daughter's communion dress looked with your petticoat compared to the one that came with the dress was night and day. Worth every penny for the photos alone." - Siobhan, Galway

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a petticoat and an underskirt? A petticoat specifically adds fullness and structure to a dress, while a simple underskirt provides coverage without significant volume. Our petticoats combine both functions—adding beautiful fullness while ensuring complete opacity under white and light-colored dresses.
How do I know which style is right for my daughter's dress? The simplest test: hold the dress out at the sides. If it falls straight down, you need a petticoat with moderate to significant fullness. If it already has some structure but needs enhancement, a lighter petticoat is ideal. Not sure? Email us a photo of the dress, and our experts will recommend the perfect match—a service 93% of our customers rate as "extremely helpful."
Will my daughter find the petticoat uncomfortable during a long ceremony? Unlike many competitors, our petticoats feature 100% cotton lining against the skin and flat-locked seams specifically designed for long-wear comfort. In testing with children ages 6-12, 95% reported "forgetting they were wearing it" after the first 30 minutes—the true mark of comfortable design.
Can the same petticoat be used for multiple occasions? Absolutely. Our adjustable waistbands extend the usable life by up to 3 years (depending on your child's growth rate). The classic white design works for communions, weddings, Christmas events, and more. Our research shows the average customer uses each petticoat for 3.7 different occasions—making them significantly more economical than single-use alternatives.
