The thing about petty coats is...

I don't know about you but i wear a lot of dresses and skirts, even more so in the winter because i find trousers cold and find i want to put woolly tights or leggings on. At the end of last summer as it began to get cold and the layering got in to full swing that old pet hate returned, that riding of the hem line as your walking along. Sometimes getting court between your legs or just in general riding up, worst of all riding up at the back where your bag sits and only the people behind you notice and don't bother to tell you. And as you may have guest this is where the wonder that is the petty coat comes in, I picked one up at my local Beyond Retro, but i have seen them in most vintage and second hand stores and they on cost between £5 and £10 in a range of colours...bargain!
