I wonder
I have two completely different eras for two completely different events on the brain. firstly I'm making Jane Seymour to go to the ren fair and I'm pretty settled on making a corded petticoat for her. 
To me that doesn't look like a farthingale. and frankly I'd RATHER wear a corded petticoat so we're going with that I see is what I want.
But the other era I have on the brain at the moment is 18th century. Specifically second half of the big round 18th century. So I wondered. Is there any evidence of corded petticoats then? I know there are quilted ones. And I know corded petticoats are definitely popular in the 19th century. It seems like it would give such a nice round shape under some of those full round skirts.
"hmmm what do I have under here"
