Psst, a petticoat isn't a coat. It's something you wear from the waist down, not over your shoulders.

You seem to have a flair for this topic and you write well, but don't have spanking just for the sake of spanking; it can become tedious. A reason, however contrived, is still a useful thing to have! Four stars and TY.

@Anon - psst: A woman’s light, loose undergarment hanging from the shoulders or the waist, worn under a skirt or dress. OED

Although it is a somewhat dated term, what you are referring to is a waist-petticoat, at least in England it is. Other nations may have different definitions.
