Quilted Petticoat, 1746
Rhode Island or Connecticut
silk, linen, wool
2017.B.256

A petticoat is a layer worn underneath a woman’s gown. Although this one was made in Southern New England, it proudly shows the British Royal Arms at its front. The date is interesting because it was made after an attempted rebellion in Britain and a war with France. This makes the expression of Anglo-American identity a powerful statement.
