Skirt lifters were used by Victorian ladies to stop their skirts from dragging in the dirt, or to allow for extra movement during physical activities, such as cycling or tennis. Although they were already in existence, skirt lifters became fashionable during the Victoria era. This pair was manufactured by Walton and Shaw and they are thought to date from the 1880s.
