A petticoat is an underskirt, which women started wearing in the 16th century. It was usually a beautiful piece of embroidered or brocaded under garment, and a portion of it was proudly displayed, either by having the bottom trim peeking out under a long skirt, or to show off the front of the petticoat by wearing a gown that was designed with an open V-front.

The petticoat lost some of it's importance, once straight dresses and skirts became more fashionable. Nowadays, only a few women wear petticoats. Women hardly even wear dresses anymore, they like to dress comfortable, and wear jeans and other garments that fit their busy lifestyles. If they do wear dresses, they wear tight skirts, or short sexy dresses, that do not leave much room for petticoats. However many women are romantic, and they like the old fashioned look of a petticoat paired with a corset, or worn over a garterbelt set.

Today, petticoats are often used under bridal gowns with wide skirts, to maintain the gowns intended shape and silhouette. For example Bridal Petticoat carries a variety of petticoats specifically for bridal gowns, from hoop skirts, to other full slips.

We carry mainly petticoats from knee lengths to very short. Suitable to wear under our sexy costumes, or to wear with a corset and a full skirt. Any costume looks more authentic, when worn with the matching petticoat. Ballerina dancers often wear petticoats. No matter if you wear it under one of our French maid outfits, or if you create your own costume, using a full skirt, you will see our petticoats are adorable, and make your skirts stand out, and give you that cute romantic girl look.

Their costume line now available for retailers. The Trashy brand is famous, and not trashy by no means. The opposite holds true. They have dressed up many celebrities in the past and present time, such as Madonna, Claudia Schiffer, Pamela Anderson, Cher, Stevie Nicks, and many more. The quality of their merchandise is impeccable and designed to suit a clientele with unique taste, a feel for fashion and extraordinary designs.

We are excited to carry their new costume line. Halloween parties that rock, and that you will be remembered as wearing the best costume ever. We know that their costumes will be a success with our customers.

To make it easier on retailers, the costumes available for wholesale were already bestsellers in their store.

Retail Prices range anywhere from $200 - to $400, higher priced in comparison to other customes from Leg Avenue, Shirley of Hollywood, Forplay, and others, but still a bargain compared to the original going for sometimes more than $10'000.00.

What a great idea! Dreamgirl made a break through with costumes that are reversible! Their reversible Robes and Corset obviously inspired the designer to think about something new...

One of these fabulous outfits is the angel that can be switched to a devil. The costume comes with a stretch knit mini dress with removable clear shoulder straps, has devil horns and halo headband, two pairs of gloves, angel wings and wand. All of these accessories make two completely different costumes for the price of one. This solves the problem of going to two different parties not knowing how to be dressed for the other one. Buy one get one free and you draw attention in a complete different look!

Another gorgeous costume is the bad witch/good witch outfit. Fully reversible stretch knit mini dress with detachable clear shoulder straps as well, that comes with reversible witch hat and two sets of sheer puff sleeves. The dress gives you a classy touch being the good witch or the bad one and comes with faux lace-up front for a corset style look.

Both of these costumes are a big hit and are available in regular and plus size! They are sexy but also provide a classy appearance. What ever mood you are in will determine your outfit. Be a sweet little angel, a seductive good witch, or if feel like being a little devilish or just want to draw attention as a very bad witch. These costumes give the option to choose. What a bargain and on top it only takes the spot of one in the closet.

The models are beautiful, and are modeling the approx. 50 new additions in a completely different environment. Changing from the typical bedroom atmosphere, by adding trapeze, rope ladders, and not to forget an elephant.

Shoes and boots are also provided by Leg Avenue, one of their new lines, licensed by Ellie Shoes. Knowing Ellie Shoes, we can see how they can compliment Leg Avenue's costumes, including their lingerie lines.
