Forgive me if you’re not interested in petticoats in any context, and fail to see their spiritual meaning. Perhaps I’m resolving something from a past life. But I’m the proud owner of two major petticoats right now: one in Chinese red that I purchased at a street market several weeks ago, and the aforementioned white one with bells was acquired through eBay.com from a British petticoat maker. For some reason, petticoats are very big in Great Britian. Remants of Dickens, perhaps. You could probably find a good one in the formal department of your hometown thrift shop. Here are a few eBay.com images to give you a sense of what I’m talking about. This one<\/a> is cute, but too short, here’s one<\/a> in a lovely color designed to be worn under a saree, here is a fabulous one<\/a> in black (but obviously, you have to wear another skirt or dress over it), and here<\/a> and here<\/a> are two more I just like a lot.<\/p>\n
