A "petticoat pocket" is a pocket that hangs from the waist, attached to a belt that lies under the skirt or on the outer layer of a half-petticoat (what is currently known as a half-slip). There are modern traveler's security belts and hiking pouches meant to hang on the belt that are similar in intention - to hold items discreetly at the waist.

My grandmother, born in 1898, was a big fan of the petticoat pocket.
