Historical information

This petticoat was originally owned and worn by Annie Ziebell (née Robertson) (1872–1953) and remained within the Ziebell family. In 1967, descendant Janet Hubbard altered the waistband so that the garment could be worn as part of her wedding ensemble for her marriage to Terry Hubbard on 1 December 1967. The adaptation and continued use of the petticoat demonstrates the enduring significance of family clothing and the intergenerational transmission of material culture within the Ziebell family.
