Petticoat
New petticoats often touch pride in belongings making you an object of mockery, while soiled or torn ones put your reputation in danger. The dream may ask where vanity about your possessions is inviting ridicule, and whether something usually kept hidden is at risk of being exposed in a way that could damage your good name.

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for petticoat, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.
Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
To dream of seeing new petticoats, denotes that pride in your belongings will make you an object of raillery among your acquaintances.
To see them soiled or torn, portends that your reputation will be in great danger.
If a young woman dream that she wears silken, or clean, petticoats, it denotes that she will have a doting, but manly husband. If she suddenly perceives that she has left off her petticoat in dressing, it portends much ill luck and disappointment. To see her petticoat falling from its place while she is at some gathering, or while walking, she will have trouble in retaining her lover, and other disappointments may follow.
