Petticoats (also, underskirts) were first released in 2013 at Return to Coraesine Field.

It should be noted that some verbs act differently when the petticoats are worn with the gown as a separate item as opposed to laced with the gown. In most cases, when laced with a gown, the gown takes on the active verbs. When worn as a separate item, the petticoats maintain the verbs.

Analyze

You analyze your frilly white petticoats and sense that the item is largely free from merchant alteration restrictions, but the creator has stated that "The item has restrictions on changing the noun."

The creator has also provided the following information:

This frilly white petticoats can either be worn beneath a gown or laced into one to change the gown's description.  The frilly white petticoats are fully unlocked and trapped for LACE, UNLACE, WEAR, REMOVE, TURN, PUSH, PULL, RUB, POSE, CURTSY, SASHAY, and DANCE.

The frilly white petticoats may be altered as long as it remains some sort of underskirt or petticoat that would be acceptable as part of a gown alteration.  It is not intended to be lingerie or risque.  Keep in mind that the petticoats will not be visible in your inventory when you are wearing it alone.

TURNing the gown while laced with an underskirt will cycle through lacing styles of over, with, pinned over, pinned high over, gathered over, layered over, and front-split over.  Custom lacing styles can be added by a willing merchant.
