It created enough bulk to support the dome-shaped skirts of the fashionable 1860s silhouette, and provided plenty of warmth without adding too much weight. \r\n\r\nThe brightly coloured paisley design was used for petticoats and other accessories such as handkerchieves. Indian influences can be seen in the tear-drop 'buta' motifs which are printed on a red ground in blue, green, yellow and black. The bright red vegetable dye is based on madder and became known as Turkey or Adrianople red. It was a popular print, and with improved production methods, became readily affordable. Goose down was also plentiful and inexpensive.","physicalDescription":"Petticoat of printed cotton filled with goose down. Constructed from five 'A'-shaped panels machine-sewn together, lined with a plain red cotton then stitched to form eight tubular sections from hem to hip. The top section is left unfilled and pleated into a waistband, but each of the eight tubular sections is filled with feathers and down for padding. The design consists of a red ground with a 'paisley' design of cones interspersed with flowers in green, yellow, blue and black. There is an opening at the centre back seam.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[{"name":{"text":"Booth & Fox","id":"A18231"},"association":{"text":"maker","id":"AAT251917"},"note":""}],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"cotton","id":"AAT14067"},{"text":"down","id":"AAT11810"}],"techniques":[{"text":"printed","id":"AAT53319"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Printed cotton, goose down, machine-sewn, lined with cotton","categories":[{"text":"Underwear","id":"THES48880"},{"text":"Womenswear","id":"THES49044"},{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2016JB6271","2016JB6272","2016JB6273","2016JB6274","2006BB1033"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"004","id":"THES306267"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Petticoat","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"London","id":"x28980"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1860","earliest":"1855-01-01","latest":"1864-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Mrs I.
