While I was in Arkansas my mother gave me my great-grandma's petticoat!  She hand sewed it herself, it's breathtaking. 
Admit it. You're  so jealous.
:-P
It actually fits me perfectly though I'm  afraid to wear it because it has lots of worn spots that could tear if I  lean over too far. I think I can reinforce them though. It's also  pretty dingy...more grayish than white but if I was going to start  wearing it I'd consider dying it, a light purple perhaps. 
As I  mentioned it fits perfect as a hip skirt but I was also looking around  online for ideas and came across a fashion site where chicks were  wearing old slips as dresses by cinching them under the chest area and  adding leggings and high heels.
I  played around with that idea. Not sure of what occasion would warrant  such an outfit but was fun nonetheless.
 The necklace is a piece of my grandma's costume jewelry.
Wonder if my great-grandkids will ever wear anything of mine? I better  hang onto my tie dye...:-P
